Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Gentle hugs Kellie and good luck. I suffer from depression a lot too and anything that works to fight it, go for it. Sometimes I get in a rut and nothing seems to work. You are in my thoughts. Subject: Trying to be a new me To: Hugs-N-Pain Date: Sunday, January 4, 2009, 8:58 AM Although I have a myriad of health problems, I am going to try again. I'm trying to get healthy, or healthier than I was before. My husband and I have started working out together. He does a way more extensive exercise regimen than I do, but what is great is that he motivates me. I have asked for motivation, not nagging. He also makes me laugh (a lot). I have tried for so long to be a better person, I just have that horrible thing called chronic depression, that most times it gets the better of me. Wish me luck. gentle hugs to all, Kellie ------------------------------------ To read these messages on the Hugs web site go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hugs-N-Pain you can contact me privately at starlyin@...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi Kellie, You are so fortunate to have someone who is there for you. My wife is like that too. She helps me with everything from encouraging me to eat better and workout, to backrubs and massages when the meds can't touch it. Depression goes with all this like milk and cookies. I usually just get angry at the pain, but some days, I feel like you. Some days the earth has no gravity, it just sucks…..you are not alone. > > > Subject: Trying to be a new me > To: Hugs-N-Pain > Date: Sunday, January 4, 2009, 8:58 AM > > Although I have a myriad of health problems, I am going to try again. > I'm trying to get healthy, or healthier than I was before.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Good luck Kellie! (And a gentle hug for good measure). I am so jealous. Every time I try to do things I used to do, my family runs for the phone, to " tell on me " to the doctor. I walk. I practice yoga and " gently " lift weights, but everytime I start to do it on a regular basis. something on my body gives out. I speak for many of us when I tell you how wonderful it is to have someone there to give positive reinforcement. Hang In There!

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 That's a great attitude and you're so fortunate to have support. Nobody runs to my doctor to tell...in fact if they did my doctor would be sooooo happy I'm trying to work out. He wants me to work out best I can. It hurts soooo bad sometimes. My apartments have a fantastic state of the art workout room here that is new so I will be able to use it. Fibromyalgia just seems to hate it when we exercise not to mention the destroyed joints from Osteo. Chronic depression is one of the worst things in the world. I try to beat it the best I can by " doing " . I do volunteer work for an internet safety and teaching organization....that makes me feels I can still contribute to someone's problem solving and doing the shirt shops. All keep my mind in another place. My back problem is getting worse and it scares me that more may have to be done. Nothing scares me like having something mess with my back..surgery or anything like it but L3 and L4 are compressing the nerves so much lately. My paresthesia on the top of my left thigh is getting way out of hand. Feels like the skin is splitting wide open in a hundred places at once. Took me an hour to get my leg out of bed yesterday....the progression is getting so that I'm not as easily maintained in pain management. crap!! Mix a little fear/depression/pain together and man o man.
