I just wanted to vent and write down how im feeling, i know there are people out there worse than me and i shouldnt moan about things because i have improved but still get fatigue and leg pains, but i keep feeling lost about the future and wondering if ill ever go back to working, college etc, it makes me cry sometimes when i think about things and how it used to be when i had a life. I get fed up with being at home all the time and wonder if ill get my own place i know its sad someone my age still living at home, i just hope things will get better, sorry for ranting but i know you all understand x

We sure do understand.! It's a comfort to know that people out there that understand. The trouble is that doctors don't know how to treat it I have suffered for years with it 😞 and it's been a nightmare. You just have to take each day as it comes. I only keep going because of my cats. Thinking of you love lady Julia

Take baby steps, one day at a time. You may just find that baby steps add up to an education degree that you wanted and then a job you will love. Keep your faith stronger than your fear.

I understand your frustrations perfectly and this is the space to rant as we all go through what you are going through. It is past 3am and I can’t sleep - insomnia since my teens, and also battling with hip pain started with right and as soon as it got better the left hip says it is my turn now(hope u smiled). As others have said one day at a time you must not lose hope no matter what, easier said than done. But bn part of a community with people who understand is a blessing so rant as much as you want but know that you are not alone and this too shall pass. You are a fighter, you have got this don’t let anything steal your hope. Sending you lots of hugs and love❤️❤️❤️💪🏾

HiI can relate strongly to being lost & in limbo like every day is the same & the pain keeps playing over itself again & again.

Fibromyalgia is a terrible & vile illness somewhat like a vile medical curse.

It's hard not to cry but emotional stress & upsetting trauma just amplfys fibromyalgia & turns up the pain mentality & physically.

Bless you, don't worry about venting, ranting or whatever gets those feelings out. We all know what you're going through. Even if we can't help in a practical way, just remember that you're part of a loving, empathising community who are always here to listen. It really does help to know you're not alone. Keep going, look after yourself and tomorrow may be better. Xxxx

You poor soul needs a (((((hug)))))

If you feel like crying, cry the bigger the sob the more you'll be released if only for a short while, It's out instant relief, people in my distant past would take my tears as a sign of weakness, Oh dear, I cry when I am angry,and I mean ANGRY and have to get away from the situation quick, My Dad would say to me take it out of a pillow,The other so called parent said I cried because I knew I was going to get beaten

If you have a loving relationship with your parents and every one is on board with the idea I cant see why you shouldn't, Come to some arrangement with some bills when you go home for you own sake ,you wont feel your just mooching off them, You can only do what you can,

More people than you realise are staying put in their family home, Simply because they cant afford to leave, Not sad either I'm sure your parents will enjoy you coming home,

If you feel you can go back to work or study? Do it, You'll only regret it if you don't

As for your past life and what you could do then...... You must grieve for that person, I didn't until a while after,Thinking I could get something from the GP and I'd be back to my old self,

Wrong!!

Don't be too hard on yourself, You didn't choose this 💩💩 Illness

Take care

we all get days like that I have so many problems in my family , we’re all very close but I would like more time to myself and my home to myself my husband passed eight years ago I’ve had a partner for four years but I worry if my fibromyalgia will come between us we don’t live together and that’s how we like it but at 69 I wonder what the future holds. Take care of yourself and you are not alone x
