People don't understand unless there in our situation,then its a very diffrent matter. Doctors seem to be good at saying that Get over it get a life. It makes me so mad. wHAT They forget is we're in mourning for our old self back.

you will do them, if your determend enough anythings possible. People don't want to understand, because they don't have the time or the patience. We accept who we are and what we can't do,so should others.

I think it takes a lot of work to accept the amount of change we must accept. Letting go of all the dreams you had for your life is so hard. I had a long period of time where I could see nothing beyond the day. All of my dreams were gone. The life I thought I would have was gone. Drs and friends and family all looked up fibro and told me "It's not that bad, just decide you can do it and you will" It was really hard for me to not onlyt let go of my dreams but also the people that couldn't understand. But now that I have I have nothing but time for the new dreams, adventures, and people in my life :) I may do them different but I will do them :) Mega hugs :) > >----------------------------------------------------------- > >To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. >http://groups.msn.com/smilingfibros/_emailsettings.msnw > >Need help?

Letters of goodbye? I hope you don't feel you need to do yourself in. If you ever do, please know that things can...no, WILL get better. Whether it is understanding for them, or feeling better for you.

 

And please, if you ever need immediate help, we have a list of hotlines on this site.

 

You are definitely not alone. Even in the best of circumstances, it is hard for people to understand fibro and all the crap involved with it. What is sad is when people don't try to understand. Part of living with fibro and similar problems is having a good support system. You need to find that, even if it can't be your own family.

 

I am sorry if I sound harsh. My friend's mother killed herself--she was dealing with fibro and other things and just couldn't handle it anymore. But her family and friends didn't even know that she was having such a hard time.

 

Someday your family will understand. I truly believe that. I hope it is soon. And I hope you can find some ways to feel better soon too.

 

Please keep looking and hoping!
