What keeps you going ?

On days like to day?

Today I woke up and straight away I know how to day was going to plan out.
Straight away struggling to even roll over in bed, before even attempting to get my self up, I struggle to move to get my pain killers, hoping if I take them early enough they will kick in before actually having to get out of bed...

Already I’m in tears and my head going to the deepest darkest places.
Begging for away out of the constant cycle of trying to cope with every day life through the pain in my body and the pain within my head.

And within the minutes that passed that seemed to be an eternity, my dog mitzy gets up as gently as physically possible for her, snuggle into me and start kissing away the tears streaming my face and neck. And instantly I feel more guilty with the thoughts of just wanting not to be any more, how could I leave the unconditional love she gives me , no matter my mood or state of mind, if I’m angry, sad hyper , in pain or just plain out of it , she is there by my side, after each operation she is there trying to lick and take care of the wounds, if I’m poorly she won’t let any one near me .

Even with my loved ones I always think they will have one less burden in life without me . One less pain to deal with . And a hell of a lot less stress. It didn’t stop me from trying me before ...
But her this beautiful source of joy and happiness the one being on this earth that hasn’t left me for someone else or something better.

She is what in the last 3 yers been my anchor, my dearest companion, and my truest of loves....

And all she asks for is love cuddles and when I am up to it go for a a lovely slow walk. And lots of kisses ..

What helps anyone else stay grounded?? #Fibromyalgia #Depression #Anchor #darkhole #darkthoughts #ChronicPain

How I feel #Depression #Anxiety #darkhole

When I tell people about how my depression makes me feel I give them this description.

I am in a deep dark hole with a thick muddy floor and walls. Looking up the is either no light or a very small spec. Climbing out seems impossible as the mud is too heavy on me and too slick on the walls. All I can do is wallow in the mud and try to keep breathing.

Then you throw in anxiety to tell me how horrible a person I am, I just isolate myself to my house and only go out when I need. If I do go out it is quick and I'm am right back home in my isolation.

I do go see my mom and aunt at least once a week. I have tried talking to them about my condition but they don't really get it. There isn't a lot of compassion or love there, just not how my family is.

I have two friends, one lives here and I haven't talked with him in months. The other lives out of state and I do talk with him a couple times a month. I don't go to church or the bars or anywhere social really. I guess I don't want to meet anyone new because that will just be one more person to disappoint.

I turn 47 in a week and my life is going nowhere. I can't seem to keep a job, mostly because I think anytime I do something wrong my boss is treating me like a 4 year old and I eventually crack and quit. I do Uber/Lyft which I enjoy but it is exhausting at times.

Tried therapy but I just couldn't put things they wanted me to do in motion. All the tips and tricks from her and the hospital and really it comes down to I can't follow through.

I am just stuck, can't seem to move forward, and none of it seems like it will change anytime soon. Hopefully it does but I am not holding my breath.
