In fact, this morning I wrote about feeling guilty about missing out on things with my kids. <br />The description on the relationship that has de-volved... not evolved between myself and my spouse...well I don't need to say any more, you understand. It was so nice to see someone else experiences what has been happening to me. what a reliefChemoHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090107479304270582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-49158372490470089522010-10-18T14:51:34.635-07:002010-10-18T14:51:34.635-07:00what a journey we take to acceptance..... marty ro...what a journey we take to acceptance..... marty rolloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-33072431096735634222010-10-18T13:02:53.673-07:002010-10-18T13:02:53.673-07:00Oh we are SO not all alone and The Fibromyalgia Cr...Oh we are SO not all alone and The Fibromyalgia Crusade is going to propel us forward as "legitimately sick". One day all those that doubted us AND the medical community will be on their knees apologizing because they have finally figured out what is wrong with us.

We had previously been really close. Instead of working out the problem and getting past it, my fibromyalgia made me very angry and depressed so I refused to give in (like I always had). She basically said the fibromyalgia was all in my head. As time went on, I lost more and more of my family as they all drifted to my mother's side. She has them all convinced I am a hypochondriac druggie. NO ONE would validate my illness or my feelings. All I have left now is my husband, one uncle, and one best friend who has always stuck by me. I tell myself I am better off without them but it certainly hurts every birthday and holiday.Shawna718https://www.blogger.com/profile/05318467796224735826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-10764237156594441512010-10-17T21:13:48.420-07:002010-10-17T21:13:48.420-07:00Yep.

I read somewhere that when we are at our worst is when we should treat ourselves like we would treat a good friend.FibroCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335906643284399908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-71059328032454282672010-10-17T16:08:16.022-07:002010-10-17T16:08:16.022-07:00I understand totally i find myself lately apologis...I understand totally i find myself lately apologising for saying i feel ill again to a few around me im able to talk too, i think also i hid alot before but now i cant hide it anymore so im moaning (if thats the right word!) more about how ill i feel even tho somedays i wanna scream arrrrggghhhhhh your so clever Leah and able to voice alot about what i am thinking or trying to explain to people who are interested (2 in total) xxxxtracey helen biggsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-24647208742710938532010-10-17T09:58:06.112-07:002010-10-17T09:58:06.112-07:00Leah, once again your writings have been like read...Leah, once again your writings have been like reading my on words poured from my soul. As I sit here now a full blown Amethyst drowning in guilt that I did not go to my grandmother's (who has less than 6 months to live due to cancer) 90th birthday celebration at her church, my husband and 8 year old son went, but here I sit in pain & guilt searching the internet for something to help me in this state that I am in, & once again it is as God sent me your word to comfort my guilt of disappointing and letting down so many people I care about. Thank You so much for taking the loneliness of the feeling away, it is more comfort than you can imagine.MelissaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781513102352452370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-49273058508280216812010-10-17T08:29:14.810-07:002010-10-17T08:29:14.810-07:00Leah I cannot tell you how much I love the things ...Leah I cannot tell you how much I love the things you are writing it is as if you are taking thoughts out of my own head and putting them on paper. =)lol or in your blog I should say. <br />Your blog is inspiring, keep it up!!!<br />Thanks so much for sharing.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-77914288344228501992010-10-17T02:09:32.409-07:002010-10-17T02:09:32.409-07:00Wow!

But, the biggest hurdle was me......allowing myself to cut back on things people expected of me, allowing myself to relax and restore. I am a pleaser and this is not good. I am still a work in progress even after all of these years but I'm definetly being kinder to myself and don't care what anyone else thinks! But, it has taken YEARS.Marshanoreply@blogger.com
