Feeling really depressed

[NanaTisme]

Hi, been feeling so down today, fed up with the pain and having to push myself to try and get things done, I know I shouldn’t over do it but the housework is really getting to me 😔

[NanaTisme]

Hi, not really, my husband works all day, I’m sure I will pick myself up tomorrow, thank you so much for replying 😊

[NanaTisme]

Thanks appreciate that! 🌝🐵

[NanaTisme]

They sure are 🙄😁

[NanaTisme]

True 😊

It’s hard when our brain is saying I should be doing this or that but the mechanism can’t, and you start feeling awful and guilty. Then you think husband out at work everything should be done. Unfortunately Fibro doesn’t work like that, you have to do things in little spurts. I remember when I could get the whole house done now sometimes I have to take breaks hoovering now 🤪.

Hi Robbie138,

I know, I usually don’t worry so much, I must just be having s bad day, thanks for replying 😊

[Robbie138]

We all have those days, don’t be too hard on yourself or you’ll get really down and it’s hard to scramble up again, so tomorrow put your favourite music on and just pace yourself. I sometimes look around me and 😱😱😱 we all get it. Gentle hugs 🤗🤗🤗 to help you out xx

[NanaTisme in reply to Robbie138]

Thanks Robbie, will take that on board, sending best wishes, NanaT 😊

Hi NanaTisme

I’m sooo sorry that you’re suffering so much. It isn’t easy...seems so cruel and unfair that this condition can rob us of the life we once lived. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿

Try to take it minute by minute or hour by hour when things overwhelm you. Soak in Epsom or listen to soothing music or watch a feel good movie...anything to preoccupy your mind and distract it. Most of all remember that we’re here when you need us.

Gentle gentle hugs 🤗 and love 💕 and kisses 😘.

😊🌸🦋🌿

[NanaTisme]

Thank you honeybug

Appreciate the kind words,

Sending hugs 🤗🤗🤗

I think we all know that feeling very well. Get things in perspective as it's not the " be all and end all". Pace yourself - do one room a day then rest. It will always be there tomorrow but you may not if you push yourself to hard. Have a good day and take care xxxx

[NanaTisme in reply to CloudTreeDrive13]

Thanks Cloudtree,

Will definitely be pacing myself, can’t do much else as having a flare up 😔probably going to leave housework as like everyone has said it will still be there tomorrow, sending hugs

NanaT 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[CloudTreeDrive13]

I must confess. I get really angry with myself if I don't get enough done in the day. Then give myself a talking to and realise it's not the end of the world. It's just ingrained in you as a person and hard to change I know. Have a good day xxxx

[NanaTisme in reply to CloudTreeDrive13]

You too, best wishes😊

Oh my word I feel your pain, literally ha ha, NanaTisme - housework is the bane of my life. I mean I've never been one of those women who spend all day cleaning and polishing - always seemed to have something better to do, but I do like a clean and tidy house and we now live in a small two bedroom bungalow - it should be easy, small kitchen, small bathroom. But oh man the thought of cleaning - like Robbie138 says above I have to sit down whilst hoovering some days, I did buy a lightweight cordless one which does make life much easier but still.

I don't have any suggestions other than the usual pacing and try not to let it get you down - the dust etc. will still be there tomorrow. If visitors drop by just make a joke and ask them not to write in the dust - because let's face it if it's left alone you can't really see it!!!

There is a very funny meme, which for some reason I can't put in this reply but it says 'I don't care about Disney lying about Prince Charming; I'm more upset about forest creatures and their unwillingness to clean my house' roflmho. I love that so much!!! Hope you're having a better day. xx

Hi jools, not a good dad, flare up, trying to rest so hopefully it won’t last too long, hope you are having a good day, sending hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[NanaTisme in reply to NanaTisme]

I meant day lol 🤣

[Hidden in reply to NanaTisme]

I knew that. lolz. I've been wanting bed since I got up, went out for a couple of hours last night and have been really feeling it today, had to go to the Nurse at the surgery this afternoon, so now I'm just resting before I go to bed, ha ha ha. You couldn't make it up - the life of a Fibro Warrior. xx

[NanaTisme in reply to Hidden]

Hope you get some rest hun, sending hugs 🤗🤗🤗

[fenbadger]

I feel for you. It's the same in the sett. You just get it all finished, six months later it has to be done all over again

(Actually did you know badgers change their bedding daily and move sleeping quarters so as to discourage parasites)

[NanaTisme in reply to fenbadger]

Hi fenbadger, that’s sounds good but would be too tiring every day lol 😴hope you are having a good day, sending hugs 🤗🤗🤗
