Rough Day

It's only 1 and I'm exhausted.  All i can think about it taking a pill.  My back hurts my joints hurt.  I just want to lay down and go to sleep.  I've already had tylenol going to take some more.  this is week 2 for me.  Physically i WANT IT.  Part of me WANTS it. But there is some part of me that is fighting.  HARD.  Cause I haven't taken one but boy am I close.  I just took some valarian root hoping this will help. Physcially I'm at about a 5 on the pain scale.  I hate this part I really do and I'm sorry to be a downer but today is a rough day.  I talked to hubbby last night after getting frustrated with kids (legitimate) He told me to pull it together.  There is such a fine line between forgivness and patience.  I'm going back to the laundry.

Now I'm crying maybe this is what I needed.  I feel like **** physically and I'm mad at my husband.  I'm mad at myself.  I don't want to go to the park today. I'm tired and I don't feel good.   I'm not going to call my kids in a cook lunch if they're hungry they can come in and then i'll put something on.  Pull it together. FU.
Just venting.

I'd love to hear it.  I have felt connected to him from the moment we posted.  After speaking with him i understand why.  Now that connection is very weak.  I'm not worried though.  He's made a choice.  Why does he say you should tell me your story.

HUn I am sorry to hear of your bad day. I was this way yesterday and I am ure it will return again today.

All I did was cry, post, cry, post, cry..cry...was awful. My stomach just sank and all I could do was cry. Then I was begging god to please make this stop for me and everyone here.

You have been doing so great! I mean that. YOu have helped me through some VERY tough days/nights my friend. I only hope i can do the same for you.

The ones around us who do not understand is a horrible feeling. I know I am blessed with my best friend. But not all of my friends would be the same way. I chose my best friend and decided NOT to tell any of my other "close" friends. Peoplpe who say just get over it..it isn't that they don't care it's just that they do not understand. Has your hubby read anything here in the forum? I don't remember if that was you I suggested that to or someone else. But either way..I do hope he can get a better understanding of what it is your going through. Not only the addiction but you have LEGITIMATE pain  as well. Thus making the decision to take a pill even harder because we feel guilty, or for fear of falling back into the hole we are trying so hard to come up out of. It isn't an easy thing to do. Not at all. And anyone who says "just Pull it together" needs to be a little more patient and more understanding. I don't mean any offense to you at all. I am sure your husband is great..but like I said it takes someone to understand TOTALLY what we go through in order to be able to support us the 100% all the way that we need. No matter how long that takes. We all are here for you my friend..and will be for a very very long time. Keep posting..do what you have to. We will listen. I know how hard it is to TRY and be that Mother you want to be and ARE to your children..and when we feel this way and don't want to do anything but sleep or withdraw we get the "guilt" feelings as well. But you also need to realize that this is NOT YOU everyday. This is NOT YOU 24/7..if you need a day off..hun you definately deserve it.

HI my friend;
I am saddened by your post. You have helped me also alot through some very tough times. Of course everyone here likes you..what would make you feel that way hun?

I will tell you this:
No matter what it is you are going through....that is YOUR choice to share or not to share. I honestly do not beleive knowing or not knowing your whole story hun makes anyone like you less or more.

You are here with all of us, and in this with all of us. We love you the same as anyone else here hun.

Please do not feel this way! Also know if you ever want to share your story I would gladly listen. It doesn't have to be in forum it could be e-mail, messanger, whichever you would like. I know none of us "know" one another on a personal level..but I do know the time we have spent here we get a pretty good idea of the person we are speaking to. And you my friend I think are a wonderful person, I never got the feeling you were cold at all.

I hope this helps you through your day...and remember I am only a few letters on the keyboard away! If you would like my email it is:
luv_my_labs***@****

Blessings and thinking of you my friend;

Tracy

You are more than welcome. I ask myself the same question everyday. From ones who have gotten through this they do say it does, and are here to prove it. :)  I have to hold on to that or I will fall again.

WHen we have extra stresses in our lives man it makes this whole ride even more of a nightmare. I know that all too well. I am a "dweller" always have been, I also am an "overanylizyer" (sp?)
ALways have been that way to. I am a "worrier" compulsively on all of this.

The pills seemed to help with that, and only in the beginning.  but I know before those I was the same way and did it then. I can do it now w/o my sidekick. But seems so impossible at times I know that. I have had an "issue" for about 5 years now. I have never let it go. It still eats at me everyday. Not as much as it use to but it still does. And when things get bad...I turn and think about that alot. It could be something else and it triggers me back to thinking of this issue I have. Even though it does not "consume" me as much as it use to, it is still there. I have alot of anger in me, alot of sadness, and it all snowballs. I don't know of your situation but maybe you can relate. Just sharing my story in hopes that it may click with you in some way.
I was in counseling for about 3 yrs b/c of it and that helped me tremendously. But our thought process seems to backfire alot, at least mine does. I do deal with it better now a days, but like I said I know it is there and someday I have got to let it go. But right now I can't. Then I have these pills ontop of this and I guess I am trying to tell myself deal with this first...then eventually deal with the other. I just am not sure that will ever go away. I was hurt bad, and it never faded. SOmeday I will share the whole story. But I hope you can relate a little and feel a little better right now.
Huggs my friend
