Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 You are not alone in that . I am going through it myself right at this moment. In fact, I'm on my way to talk to my pastor to try and get some of it off my chest so hopefully I'll be able to cope a little better. I'm so tired and in so much pain right now that I'm ready to break down. And when you add the other stressors in my life it makes it even worse. So yes, others go through emotional fragility. I think for me when my pain and fatigue levels are extremely high that my emotional state becomes even more fragile. Bel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Re: " Do some of you with CFS/ME/FBS find yourselves emotionally fragile from time to time. Do you find yourself just worn down and not having the energy to cope with difficult people or situations that you'd under normal circumstances would not have trouble handling? Do you feel frail and vulnerable? Just need to know that I'm not alone. -- " ------------------------- Absolutely. To me CFS is being rundown, permanantly. When anyone has the flu or a bad virus we're crabby and cry easily, or for the stoics, at least very emotional and touchy. No, I can't handle drama, either. And, I know it's time to go to bed when even the commercials are upsetting to me in a noisy way. The pounding feeling of the bombastic voices or music is actually painful, like someone poking me repeatedly. It is someone pounding. But, it's the sound beating on me. I'm sure others will attest to their own inability to handle emotional stuff or noise. Engel " Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty " -Ida B.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 In the past two years I have been under tremendous stress. My husband went for a colonoscopy at that time and DR. perforated his bowel. The next night he was in emergency surgery with peritonitis and his bowels on his tummy, forgive the grossness.) Four days later he had pneumonia and in wee hours of the a.m. had a heart attack. A month later he had open heart surgery, had 5 blocked arteries. A couple of days after Christmas that same year my granddaughter was in a terrible auto accident. Took the jaws of life to get her out of SUV. Her heart stopped twice and when she got to the hospital she had 3 fractures in her skull, a broken neck and back, all ribs on left side broken, broken collar bone, etc. Three weeks later I got a call from my other granddaughter telling me my son was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I didn't mean to bore you with all the details but wanted you to know I KNOW there definitely is emotional fragility with these damed diseases. Since all this began I have been in bed more then out. Before then I was able to get up and out once in a while. The only good it did for me was that my family and friends now understand what happens or what the DD can cause. I love being told I look terrible and about 90 yrs old instead of, " gee, you look great!!!!! " lol. Healing hugs, Allie (To everyone on this board a very Happy Holiday and thank you for being there, don't know what I would do without you thru thess past couple of years.)

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 P.S. My husband is still with me and doing okay. My granddaughter has recovered very well and my son came thru chemo and radiation and is in remission. So my feeling is there is a GOD and some day he will help us!
