Hi Everyone -
I havent been posting lately - been pretty "down in the dumps". Just so tired of going from dr. to dr. and especially down because of the damn pills. I HATE them. I know its not good to "isolate", but I've basically havent even gone out of the house, except to drs appts - which seem to be every other day lately. My sister made me go with her to Wal Mart yesterday a.m. and I ended up having to ride around on one of those "electric carts" like an 80 year old woman because I couldnt walk anymore due to the pain. It sucks. This is why I dont want to post, because I hate sounding so darn depressing, but the truth is that I am overwhelmed with depression right now. They are talking about back surgery and that scares the hell out of me.
I just wanted to let you guys know that I have been lurking every now and then and I love you all. Take care of yourselves and try to BE GOOD!!!! :o)
Love,
Marie

Marie,
Hang in there friend. Post away. Writing helps. Write about the pain and the fear. If you do not want to share, than write in a notebook or on your computer. It may help to speak to a counselor. You sound really down, and I want to you know that you have friends pulling for you!
Be strong. This too shall pass.

Hey Marie:
I'm sorry you are feeling down. Maybe your friends in AA/NA can bring a meeting to you. That's what we do when somebody can't get to one. I always feel better after a meeting...

Marie, sorry to hear that you are feeling down.
That is what happens, the pills take all of our happiness away.
Rach had a great idea...
And just know that things will get better...

God Bless you and your family,

Hey Sharon,
Thanks so much for your kind words and your support. I know I can always count on you to be here for me no matter what. I know I need to keep posting my heart out, but I'm usually the type to hold things in, which I know is not a good thing.
I miss chatting too and I cant wait to get this computer fixed!!!!
Love ya,
Marie

Hang in there and know your exteneded family here is waiting patiently for you to return and be back to the good ole Marie, laughing and cheering everyone up!!! My prayers are with you and I can't wait to see you back on a daily basis! Much love and compassion is being sent your way! Love, Kat

Marie,
I know exactly how you feel. I too have isolated myself, can't answer the phone or go anywhere. I have pretty much shut out my family and friends. Everyones advice is always...talk about ir, go for a walk, etc.. Hard to do when you are so bummed but I have to say I did go for a walk the other day and it was amazing. It really helped my attitude and energy level. It's just hard to make yourself do it. Hang in there and if you ever just want to chat I am here for you.
