I am really down today

Hi All, I thought I would check in...I can't seem to stop crying..I took my brother for blood work this morning..Deep cleaned my room, went to a stupid movie, I am just feeling sorry for myself..I know I have so much to be thankful for, and I understand and know that going back to pain meds is not an option..I just feel old and worn out. I will force myself to go to the gym later..I have to work tomorrow and know that my arm will be killing me when I come home, but it is what it is..Oh my gosh, I am so sorry I am so depressing today. I don't want to bring anyone else down...It is just that life has set in and I am the only one that can change that...I will work on my attitude..Hugs

This is the place for exactly that - venting and getting all those negative emotions out... all of us have tried them - some are trying them at this moment :o)

Glad to hear that you pulled through and as Domino says - bad days are bound to happen

Hello there, you are doing great, its normal to have good days and bad, lazy days and energized days, its all part of the process.  Be kind to yourself, if you are not feeling up to going to the gym then snuggle up on the couch with a cup of tea and just relax.  You amaze me with all your strength, please do not forget what your body has been through it does take time to heal.  You are doing fantastic so just keep moving forward......

Oh Girl!! It is OK..I get a bit down too here and there. Sometimes I just can not determine it between age and hormones (none) or still having my Brain bounce back and re-adjust from all my life of using. Life will be Life and we do not always have Great days..I sure hope you get out of your depression. Try to listen to some good ol songs or watch a good ol movie..I love all my Westerns in the eve. This here will pass and you are doing really good..Proud of YOU!!!
Bless
