No energy at all.

[lovedogs51511]

Hi all, hope everyones day went smoothly. I feel hopeless and don't have the energy to stand up or keep my eyes open. Been in horrible pain all day. Arthritis in shoulders is just a pain. Stiff neck ugh. Ok I'm done complaining lol. Again hoping y'all had a really great day😀

Hi lovedogs im sorry to hear youve been in pain its hard to stay happy if you feel sore ! Please dont feel like your complaining i would say sharing your feelings take care and enjoy each day david

I know how you feel! When I woke up this morning I felt like I had run a marathon! I was so sore and tired. My bed is only 4 years old, and I've turned it. So I'm not sure what the deal is/was?

Speaking of shoulders, I really know how that feels! I'm having surgery the beginning of next month for a torn rotator cuff. I'm really bummed about it. I have kidney failure and was on the transplant wait list for about 6 years. Of that, I was on dialysis for 3 or 4. I started in center, which was horrible. I did that for a few months and switched to home, which was 100 times better, but still had plenty of drawbacks.

I mentioned that because my surgeon had said that it's likely the medications I have to take for antirejection probably played a role in weakening my shoulder.

I know it's negative, but this is going to be the look of the rest of my life. I have worked in warehousing since 1988, and I am a very hard worker. The last company I was with for 19 years and really busted my butt. I guess 30 years of lifting 50lbs + over my head took it's toll as well.

Depressing!

Oh my goodness hun! I'm definitely going to pray you heal fast after your shoulder surgery and hope you get new liver. I'm so sorry to hear that you've got liver failure. I'm sure that's got to be scary. Your my friend and feel free to contact me if you need a person to talk to. As far as the rotator cuff I've had three of those surgeries and now have arthritis in both shoulders. So be very careful after surgery so it heals properly. I didn't do that I went out and snorted a lot of meth and had grand mal seizure which destroyed my shoulder and ruined the surgery! Oh I'm an addict alcoholic but have been sober 7 years. Yeah if you've been working your butt of in warehouse work that could definitely take a toll on your shoulders. Praying you find relief soon. Feel free to contact me if you need a friend to talk to if you want to. Take care😀

[metalminded in reply to lovedogs51511]

Thank you! And same, if you ever need to talk, don't hesitate to reach out.

It's actually kidney disease, my liver is good.

I'm glad you've been sober for 7 years! That's great!! You look like a very attractive women in your profile picture, so I don't know what you feel like you can't go out.

As long as you stay strong and stay off drugs and alcohol, you've beaten that part of your life that caused a lot of pain.

What do you do for a living? I may need to consider an alternative. I'm a manager, so I don't have to do the lifting anymore, but I have a really small staff, so when 2 people are gone, it leaves only 2, so I always jump in and help, because, well frankly I love to. I like hard work and busting a sweat!!

hi

i hope you are doing better today. i woke up this morning feeling really unproductive and unmotivated. whenever i have anxiety, i feel frozen. then i come on here and i feel so much better. i think sometimes (for me at least) i need to read other people's stories so that i don't feel alone or that something is wrong with me or that how i feel is silly. anxiety and depression is REAL and its crazy even now that people downplay it as much as they do. these are real emotions and i hope you are getting the help and support you need. i personally do not have anyone to talk to but if you have someone you can trust, talk to them. just know that everyday is a new day and if you can't get motivated today, try tomorrow. i think we all need some hope and positivism. that even though we feel like garbage today, that there is a glimmer of hope that we can get up tomorrow. i am positive that i can get over my anxiety and i hope you can too. Good luck.

[lovedogs51511]

Thanks for messaging me!! I know exactly how you feel. My anxiety just kills me daily. It takes so much from our bodies to deal with it. I too love to read ppls stories and what they go thru so each of us on here can say ok I don't feel alone. Thanks I sure hope we can both kick this anxiety. I was at my Drs office a few days ago and I was chatting with the lady next to me and it got really packed in the waiting room and she was having a huge panic attack and it helped me thru my anxiety to focus on her and help her thru hers!!! Have a really great day😀

Hi and I'm sorry I haven't been on here much at all so I'm just now seeing your message and it caught my eye!! I think I can really relate to the feeling of having (no) energy. I sleep 10 to 11 hrs. a night and still so tired and strung out all day. It robs me of my ability to focus and concentrate so basically my days are filled with lot's of couch time and trying like heck to get things done but I end up with 10 projects started and not one completed or even close to. I eventually give up on the project and then I'm overwhelmed. It's a vicious circle. I rarely answer my phone because I'm too tired to talk or I'm just too depressed. The pain is also a issue with me. My reumatologist has had me on narcotic and now opiate pains meds. continually for close to 20 years, along with antidepressants, anti anxiety and ADHD meds. for 40 plus yrs.. I could go on but I want to hear more about others. I wanted to comment because I can sure understand the no energy and we have a similar interest...(dogs). I am a long time animal advocate and would do anything for a animal. It's been my passion since the very ripe age of 5. I love them all!!

I am so sorry you are in this position

and I hope this finds you feeling better and if not..please..please.. never feel you are complaining. Thinking of you and others who are hurting. I hope to hear how you are, 8 months later..

[lovedogs51511]

Omg I'm so sorry your suffering with all of that!! Hugs to you my friend!! Yea I'm on adhd drug Adderrall but quit antidepressant pristiq cold turkey but things are ok at the moment only cause of my new cbd oil I've been taking😄😄 I now feel ok but sort of depressed when around my family cause they're all successful but I've always been the one with mental illnesses and was former drunk and drug addict. I'm now 45 years to late finally going back to CNA work after I start classes on the 9th of Oct. I'm scared shirtless I won't pass. My energy level goes down due to my severe anxiety. I love that we really love animals!! 🐾🐶💝 I just watched Dr. Jeff and Dr. Pol on tv last night for hours. Really want to be vet tech but have no way to pay for schooling. I'm good with CNA work cause I love the elderly. I'm rambling but,if you need to talk I'm on here quite often. Hugs again I definitely understand what your feeling!! Oh boy do I😵😲

Hi I'm kinda new to this group ,but wish I would has found it about a year or two ago . I was so lonely ,I thought I was the only person on earth (just saying) everyone had something to do or were doing it and I was just sitting there wondering what I was supposed to do ! I couldn't wait for darkness to go to sleep n hoped morning would never come ! I actually hid the morning light so I would still think it was time to sleep ! That passed thank goodness ,I'm much better now yay , I also have 6yrs of non drinking yay me ,it may not be important to others ,like my kids ,but to me a Yes !!

[Agora1 in reply to Sandyxoxx]

Sandyxoxx, winning over any addiction is important to me. I too felt alone and didn't have a support team to help me during my dependence on benzos. 2 years of slowly and safely weaning off the drugs ALONE... There isn't a day that goes by that I don't have pride in myself for doing it. We both won. x

[Sandyxoxx in reply to Sandyxoxx]

Sorry about your health promblems ,take care of Yourself , found out it's up to you ! Thank goodness I'm in good health ,I get run down sometimes ,I take it easy n say it shall pass !! I don't know if your religious or not but prayer does help ! Amen
