Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I am sorry life is so hard for you. I definitely know what you are talking about. The fears associated with my future with this disease are challenging me daily. I think I am just thinking too much and it is stressing me out. I am in a lot of pain and very fatigued. I think I am fighting to stay out of a hospital. If you ever want to talk let me know. It can be so hard sometimes, but I will pray that it gets easier for you. God Bless and good luck!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Marty, I think the same thing about my teens where did I put the manual on how to raise a teen and of course how to cope with their many moods,and wants all the time. I have 4 teen girls in my house, so needless to say " I WANT TO RUN AWAY " , oops did I say that? I am so looking forward to Vegas and getting away to have fun and not deal with the teenagers in the house. BTW- my eldest asked about the definition of " Attitude " and I told her in one word- Teenagers! Love and Hugs = lots of low and free pain days...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Esther!!!! You sound like my life! My husband is disabled and in constant pain with gout, arthritis and asthma, and is very little help with our 3 kids. I recently found out that (probably due to stress) I have high blood pressure and am borderline diabetic. I have to lose 10-20 lbs. in 3 months or I'll have to take medication to regulate my levels. Losing weight is not the easiest thing in the world, especially when I am taking care of the rest of the family. My husband's ailments make him VERY cranky, so not only do I have to take care of poopoo painting and tantrums and homework and packing lunches and laundry AND providing an interactive healthy learning environment, I have to tiptoe around his mood swings and anger at the world,...... And so now I'm paying the price with my health. Stress, stress, stress. I need a weekend away, alone, anywhere....I'd even go to Disney. I hate Disney. Yours in stress, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 My stress got so bad last Spring that I literally was laying in bed one night feeling like the weight of the world was sitting on my chest. I went to the ER and they said that I had a panic attack and to try to relax more. Too much stress is HARMful to your health. I make sure that I see my best friend once a week which is a big de-stressor and I stay away from alcohol. That can get you into trouble big time. Also, I talk to others like on this list, and in person I meet with a support group once a month. Everybody take a deep breath and RELAX a little!!!!! Jennie in RI McKinless wrote: Esther!!!!
