Thread: Just need to write it all down

Hi mookiem

I suffer from fybromyalgia and myofacial pain which can sometimes bring on IBS and chronic fatigue but you know what? I refuse to allow it to get to me, or beat me and I can honestly say that I do beat it.

I don't have little ones to contend with on top but a baby, my business.

I do have a man in my life and I am lucky, he supports me.

So, this leads me to the question of your husband... Does he understand? Can he give you a little time out for you during the week? You need to do things for yourself and not feel like everything is overwhelming, even a bath for 30 minutes with candles can help you.

What is your eating pattern like? With Chronic Fatigue, yes, it is sleep, but also what you eat and how much water you drink and exercise, even 5 minutes a day, and building that up to 10 over a month will start to set you on a better path.

So, if I can suggest that you start with eating as much leafy greens as possible, vegetables and salads, keep away from meat for a month, or very little of it, preferring white meat to dark and no dairy, tomato based sauces. Start drinking 6 - 8 glasses of water a day, starting from the morning, sipping them not gulping a whole glass at once.

Don't be jealous of people on facebook, remember, it's the internet, they for sure have their own issues, instead let them inspire you.

Your husband needs to support you a little more at the moment there is too much going on for you.

You need to start having a girls night in, even if the kids are there, start making friends with Mums and have a night for you all to watch a movie, and the kids "together"...

You need friends.

Don't think that life is wasted and get yourself into a hole. It's time to get yourself out of the small one your in and be happier.

I don't know why your family are not talking to you, but that brings on depression and that's probably one of the reason for your fatigue. But, maybe you've been down and out for quite sometime and they "choose" not to be in a negative state with you, maybe once you start to mend and get back on your feet things may change.

Why not write them a letter, even if you don't send it, telling them how you feel.

If you don't want to send it then, take it outside, after you've read it, burn it and throw it into the Universe...

We are here to help so please come back and tell us how your feeling, and let us see what else we can suggest to help you.
