im just sad

Try to help yourself as much as you can. You do not have to explain to others that you are hurting or feel tired, just say you will call later or you have some other commitment. When you get upset and rightfully so, you feel worse because the stress makes your body to hurt with more intensity, therefore look for a calm and comfortable environment when you go out, the more you will enjoy the better you will feel. The weight is not the key issue, take care of your soul and you will be happy. Have faith and God bless you always.

I totally get you. It feels like the pain has taken my life. The old life the life i want is gone. Pain can stop a person entirely. It starts slowly, giving up a small thing because the pain is too great. Little do you release how hard it is to get it back. Next you concede more, letting go, not realizing those little things are growing, becoming more important. Soon you've given so much you'r left wondering were your old life went. The pain keeps you from regaining what you used to have. Your trapped. And to add insult to injury your pain is still there, raging on. I hate it!

I can relate to the way you feel. I thinke anyone with fibro can. When you are feeling pain, depressed, hating yourself. It is very hard to cope with all the negectivity. It was in the week between Christmas and New Year I felt the same way. Feeling at 61 my girls were doing okay one just got married to a beauiful man and the other going well and both living interstate.This meant I was not needed and wanted. No one wanted me I am single, fat ugly, not worth living. I am still here and can understand you. Take one day at a time. Iam sure you are are hard on your self and if you do not have anyone helping you with exercise seek it. Also a heathy diet.
A good diet is not a curer but it could make you feel better..
I would like to ask you all besides headaches does anyone get pain on their scalp. even the hair folicle hurt., burning, my hair has started to fall out. not bald yet..HaHa

i think every person who has fibro(sorry i may be speaking out of turn) has had their lows. I've been there my friend. In fact i was laying in bed last night wide awake, gotta love insomnia huh?, and I was thinking about how back in 07 i prayed constantly to God to take me home. You don't think you can handle one more day BUT... God's promise to us is that He might not take the pain away but HE WILL BE THERE TO SEE US THROUGH. I know the strength to keep going came from others and God, because i didn't have the strength.
As Josh groban sings" don't give up...you are loved"
I also heard this statement and it helped me to think in a different way
"What if you purpose here on earth has nothing to do with you? But in fact your purpose on earth was to fulfill the dream for someone else?!"
I get caught up in my thoughts and this reminded me that... maybe my dream of being married won't happen, because God needs to use me to fulfill someone else's dream. It makes me feel good to think of life that way.
hope this helped! :)

My scalp is painful sometimes too. It sometimes hurts to just brush my hair.

You are me. Good to know because I have been really sure I am alone in this. Constant pain, weight issues, stress, loss of my job, the feeling that no one can get it. Knowing my life is very limited right now. It is like a flood gate that needs to open so some of the stress can get out. Has anyone considered exchanging numbers and a way to post if you are wide awake and hurting. I know the isolation of the night is distressing to me and I would love to have someone to talk too that understands
