Dear all, have had a bad few days and in terrible form, made some bad decisions and am angry at how a neighbour has taken advantage, there is nothing I can do about same now, action done. My ex-a is doing less and less so more and more gets put onto me, I feel as if I am sliding backwards with no time for me anymore, he just had to drop our son down to golf now and it was like a federal case though I have been doing all the travelling to and from for months now as he is hard to listen to when complaining, I suppose it goes to the root of loneliness, lack of intimacy with anyone special and sadness that I feel this was taken from me, leaving me vulnerable, I also had expectations that things would improve and they didn't, and this is heartbreaking,
I can relate. This disease wears us out. Its exhausting and discouraging- it steals our courage, it does not en-courage. I am sorry you are in a low spot but this too shall pass my friend. But I wanted you to know I understand this deep level of exhaustion, very well. Its so sad and frustrating and it is so very lonely. hugs, J.
Is there anything you can do for yourself to refuel? A shopping trip to the mall, hot bubble bath, manicure & pedicure, buy yourself some fresh flowers. Those things normally help me refuel my spirit.
