MDJunction to me

Joy75"MDJunction to me is a second home. I visit daily to support and get supported. Everyone is so great here. The people are what make this site so
perfect. When someone says I helped them, I feel so good about myself. When
I am down, I come here to talk with my lovely friends. This is a great site
and I’ve come to love it and my friends here. Thank you for making such a
wonderful place to call home!

And that is my question! I can't seem to get motivated to do the things I need to do at all -- ever. My house is a total wreck, my desk at work is a total wreck, my body is a total wreck, etc etc etc. And whine on and on and on......

I'm overweight and it is making me crazy! It hurts to exercise and I get exercise-induced flares. I know I need to exercise and start slowly and work up slowly. I just can't seem to get motivated to do it. It has been incredibly hot this summer and I think that has been more draining for me than any cold weather has ever been. I get tired of cold weather and always look forward to spring and then it gets so horribly hot and humid and I start longing for fall.

My lack of motivation at work is becoming more and more of a problem for me. I just have to thank God that I have an understanding boss who finally (I think -- I hope) has figured out there is no cure for fibro and has also figured out that fatigue plays a huge role in fibro.

I guess I just needed to vent a bit. Maybe it is because I recently had a birthday (which is in reality a good thing) but I am just feeling low and so not motivated to do anything!

Oh poor me!

I think we all have difficulty at some point(if not all the time!) With this subject. I can tell you that for the past cpl weeks I have been extremely fatigued & for no apparent reason. Just comes with the territory I guess. Sad
