Stressed

[Manu2015]

Hello all I'm feeling stressed low and depressed at the mo I'm finding it hard to cope with everything work my gf and fibromyalgia

[mattoid-mags]

Hi manu, sorry to hear you are so stressed & unable to cope with everything at the moment. It's a vicious circle. Are you getting the support you need in work and from your gf? If not, Perhaps you could try to explain to them just how much stressed you feel and how your fibro is affecting you both physically and mentally. Many people just don't understand it unless they feel it- sometimes you just have to push people to make them listen, to make them aware of how your symptoms are affecting you, and of the limitations that fibro has cruelly thrust onto you. Give them some reading material on the condition and hopefully they will get it and give you a break. Hope you feel better soon xx

Hello mattoid-mags I've got 4 weeks to find a swap at work to get on letters or I will they will medical retire me and my gf won't accept my fibromyalgia she won't read the information I've got on it she thinks I'm putting it on

[mattoid-mags in reply to Manu2015]

Hi manu, wow that's a lot of pressure on you at work. Hopefully some caring person will swap with you so you can keep your job. Have you been diagnosed? If so, I can't understand why your gf is not supporting you or at least trying to understand your condition? I'm kind of stumped by her lack of consideration. I hope you manage to make a break- through at work and with your gf. Stay positive, take good care, Mags x

Hello mags thank u and yes 5 years ago at the end of Oct your too kind and I'm hoping someone will I've got someone in mind for the swap but I need to tell the union and get them to sort it out matthew

Fingers crossed for you that someone will swop.x

[Manu2015]

Thank u rosewine I hope so too

I hope you manage to sort your swap. Does your girlfriend explain what part of it she doesn't understand? I think my partner doesnt understand my mood changes as I snap when I need to stop moving? Take her out for dinner and calmly explain what's happening and it is for life so she needs to accept /acknowledge what is happening to you.

Hugs x

Sorry feeling very foggy today. I hope things work out for you. I can only say there are some charts that you can get and frame.

[Manu2015 in reply to Regnofibro1]

What sort of charts regnofibro1 and no need to say sorry we all have bad days

[Regnofibro1]

There are some that show symptoms we have and some that show where we hurt. There are several kinds just google fibro symptoms images or pictures of fibro tender points.
