Embracing Pain

Who am I kidding..


Why....

Mar 11 2010
I feel so filled with anger and frustration tonight.  I feel like no one in my family really understands my pain.  How could they?  I don't talk about it.  I try not to show itif I can cope somehow.  My small children would not have the ability to understand it, or at least so I think.  Maybe they don't have to understand it to help me cope.  I am frustrated with my partner.  I feel like I am the only one who tries to do a lot of the housework.  She does the dishes.  I do the laundry, try to vacuum when I can, take care of the cats, and I feel like I am the only one pushing for them to take regular baths.  I can see that her job takes a lot out of her, but so does mine.  And, I don't care what the therapist said years ago, a person should have some pride in themselves and their household enough to care about keeping it moderately clean.  I feel like I am going to end up saying something I shouldn't, but right now, I would rather live downstairs with the cats and take care of one space where I feel like I have a chance to de-clutter and gain some peace of mind.  I'm kind of wandering here.  Tomorrow at work, I have to be there by 6:45 am, work all day til 6:30pm with our 2 newest employees who are still in training.  Plus, I have a computer issue that I have to resolve before the boss gets there at 8 am.  And, I forgot to stop and get my medicine again because I was so frazzled on the way home.  Did I mention the swelling in my lower legs that has started happening in the last week.  Yet another thing to have to get checked out.   For now, I have to go to bed.

Hi,
It can seem overwhelming at times...but...never give up. Some days, letting go, is the best we can do. I've learned, chronic pain, and depression, go hand in hand. The brain uses the same nerotransmitters, for both. I know my thining can get very dark, and negative, when I'm in pain, for an extended period. Give yourself a break, and take credit, for all of the positives you are doing....If you say the wrong thing, well so be it...That's what apologies are for...no one's perfect. Comfort yourself as best as you can....The sun always shines again.....Pat
