I Am So Tired!!!

Saturday, June 09, 2012

I am so tired of fighting for everything I get. But yet, I don't fight to prove to myself that I am worth something. I feel like I have to help other people in order for them to like me. Even my family. I don't get a lot of support from them. My husband is always working, sometimes 20 hours per day, every day. My son is a teenager, enough said. I work from home so I get support from my cats but that's not quite the same. It seems as if I'm now living on medications. I take anti-depressants, anti-inflammatories, blood pressure and a buffet of vitamins. I know I need to get out and do something to fix that but because of the depression and the pain from arthritis I have no motivation and things hurt when I do. I'm not sure what else to do. I have been in therapy for almost 2 years and I keep going in circles. I think part of it is because of the lack of support when I get home. I feel like I do everything at home and if I ask for help, you'd have thought I asked them to build a new house with a pool or something. Enough said for today. I'll see what kind of a weekend we have.

    I am so sorry for the lack of support that your family is giving you. Sometimes we have to learn to lean on our self and do what we need to do to make us healthy and happy. Your important too, don't ever forget that. Sometimes when we are depressed, it makes us hurt more than our arthritis. I know from experience. Teenagers can be a challenge, they live in their own lil world. Oh I know what you mean by asking for help, I had asked my son to help me with something and he just simply said no..my jaw dropped. But he grew into a fine young man and is always there for me. Your husband works like mine does. Makes it hard to get some things done when you want to get them done. I have learned not to put so much pressure on myself and do the best that I can do for that day. By having that mindset, it really took a lot of pressure off of me. Maybe that could help you. Are you able to get out of the house and go for walks or plant flowers..something for you.. I had found out that certain foods made my aches and pains worse. Sugar is like poison to my body. Just a thought..food can make us feel bad. Try making a positive change for yourself, not your teenager or your husband, but for you. Your important too and your feelings and thoughts do matter. I hope I have helped in someway. Take care and I am here for you. emoticon
