Update on return to work....

How do I go on this way?! Work/pain. It hurts to worj but what else can I do. And my bf thinks he gets it, I told him today he needs to basically walk in my shoes to understand. Im tired of people thinkin its no big deal, when it is. Im tired of everything. Im wonderin how am I suppose to move forward? Im thinkin hes not the one for me? Im sorry if im wrong but I want someone to be my rock, take care of me for a cjange. Is that wrong of me? For once I am askin for others help and get very little. I guess I need a few wordd of encouragement. Im hit my lowest point. Help

Sorry, but no the rollercoaster doesn't  usually stop.  There is always something we do in life that seems like a rollercoaster ride.  It's only you that can make that decison of getting off the rollercoaster, take a deep breath and take a different ride.  Something that you enjoy. You deserve it.
I'm so sorry to hear how difficult things have been.  As I mentioned before I'm here if you need anything.  Wishing for a better tomorrow for you.
Linda :)

Good luck and am here for you....as far as neuralgia and sight mine hasn't changed but not sure about others...good luck and sending lots of prayers

Pretty much givin the fiance the boot. Not once today did I get a how r u at work. Dinner when we got home either. I forced myself to eat a lil soup. After all ive done for him, I dont get same in return, not even halfway. I think im better off wihout him. He just causes me more stress and ive already got 2 kids. I just wanted someone to help take care of me for once. Is that asking too much?! Or am I selfish. While I was off work I did our laundry everyday and made sure he had dinner when he got home but oh no nothin for me. Its heartbreaking but I think its best.

Hey friend I have been worrying about you! I don't know what to tell you when we are at our lowest point it is hard and we need someone to help hold us up.  Selmas advice was great but also follow your heart because you deserve the best. Chronic pain is so hard because it never stops and I don't think if you have lived it you can begin to understand. Hang in there we are here to support you no matter what!

I believe if he took me seriously he wouldnt be making me work. He would do anything in his power to figure out what he can do. Also 9 hour days on feet at work and still have to keep going when I get home. Lifes just not fair. I want someone to worry about stuff for a change. Its always me worrying. He told me yesterday I think everythings about me. Ha thats funny I told him because im always takin care of everyone else, sick or not. A hole.

  Hi Sweety, there is no way for him to know what u r going thru , unless he was going thru it himself.....and I know u need support and u want that rock to be him....

This is very diff for u and for him, he is going thru quite the ordeal as well....and to cast him off, well I am not sure what has transpired or not, and there is no need to give personal details, but with going back to work and being in pain it is all too much for u....

Take a breather and try and have a talk with him when u r feeling a little more relaxed.

All u can do, is what u can...and just remind him u r doing ur best...and remind him what u can not do.....

Hang in there.
