Tomorrow will be different

Hello Alicia :boing: (this is me trying to be cheery!)

I'm so sorry you're feeling blue... :hug:

Did you manage to get to your therapy appointment yesterday or did you ask to postpone it ?

I think we should get a choir together (The ME Singers) and our signature tune could be \"Tomorrow, tomorrow,\" :note: :whistle: :note:

All I can say is that you won't feel as bad as this always - it [b:19f99bd2df]will[/b:19f99bd2df] pass and you will be stronger and more empathic because you've been through such a lot. (Hope that doesn't sound too trite and awful but it is true )

I wonder if you've been out in the sunshine (?) today with MD

Take care :cheerup:

I don't like to think of you feeling down Alicia, I wish I could help you in some way. If only we had some warmer weather I think we all would feel better. Have one of our group :hug: and our famous :choc: buttons of course. Take care, cuddle up with your lovely Max.

My song at the moment needs to be 'Someone to Watch Over Me' (Gershwin)

Sunshine ? :shock::roll: It hasn't stopped raining all day. You have been lucky. I wish I was there.

Give my love to my mum if you are passing xxx

Alicia, I know of so many folk at the moment who are feeling really, really blue and they are all people who are not also burdened with having to cope with the wretched ME.

I am convinced that one of the reasons is because we have had such a prolonged dark, miserable and freezing cold winter .... and I am holding on to the fact that when spring finally arrives we will all have a much-needed boost.

Our illness obviously doesn't help our increasing mood fluctuations and the fact that we can't just get up and out and take some form of really energetic exercise (as suggested in all the articles on the winter blues :roll: ) compounds our lethargy and feelings of immense sadness. And of course, at our age mood changes are a bit of a double whammy anyway!

I am up to my eyeballs in so-called 'happy pills' and the darn things may help my fibro pain but are doing nothing to alleviate my feelings of intense sadness, hopelessness and nothingingness, so to be honest I think you are probably better off without medication.

Hang on in there matey ...... we will all begin to feel so much better very soon now (I can feel it in my bones along with all the other aches and pains :roll: ). You've got Sarah's graduation ahead of you to and we all so look forward to sharing your pride and excitement (plus a few photos we hope too) :D

Take care Alicia ..... your forum buddies are always here for you :hug: :cuddle: :hug:

Hello I have only just joined up here ,haven't been diagnosed but can agree with all you've said and can sympathise with you sending hugs

Alicia, so sorry you are feeling so bad but just keep posting and we will help you through it. :cuddle:

We all still want our Mum's when we feel low and it is evident that you really miss yours :cry:

But.....she will be with you and looking down on you wishing she could help. :wink:

Katie have you not perked up either. :?

I am feeling okay in myself but still have terrible pains in my joints, got blood tests last night so will have to wait and see if anything shows up. :roll:

thank you all you lovely people. I can feel your love in the typing. xx

I really appreciate you all, especially as hubby is being particularly useless atm. Not his fault, he always runs off and hides in his little bubble world when things aren't going right. :cry:

Well my hubby is being pretty useless at the moment too :roll:

He wanted to watch a specific TV programme and has slept all the way through it :evil: Having said that every time I discreetly changed channels his eyes flickered and pinged open for a couple of secs :evil:

Think I am going to give up with men ...... but I should imagine this little senario goes on in many a household :lol:

Have to laugh otherwise I would cry :wah:

Teeds, thanks .... I'm fine really ..... just fed up with being ME really ..... and I'm sure we can all relate to that But let's hope your blood tests are all okay ..... that's far more important.

Night, night everyone ...... tomorrow is another day .... cue Daisy and her song :note: :note: :smiley:

What is it with hubbys at the moment :?: :x

Mine has been practicing uselessness too lately :?

Have to admit that I had a real dive in mood yesterday and felt so low and depressed that I wanted to just climb into a cosy cocoon somewhere :cry:

But, it wasn't until after hubby had eaten dinner and made himself comfy in front of the telly ( dozing too Katie) that he thought to ask why I wasn't eating and seemed genuinely shocked when I told him that I was feeling just too darned exhausted :erm: :cry:

Anyway I propose that when we are all feeling well enough we have a hubby bum kicking contest :D

Must keep it a secret from them though girls because the element of surprise makes it even better :cheers:

Take care everyone :cheerup: :cheerup:

What an excellent idea Kristal :D

Well, my hubby is in town today so I have the whole place to myself :magic:

I'm one of those people that needs my space ...... so I have the radio turned up loud, can eat when I want and do exactly what I like :wow:

Having said that I have just had Roxy dog delivered for the day as Anna is having the kitchen fitted ...... but the sun is shining and looks really lovely so will shortly take her out. I know full well I will be tempted to walk her much too far but s*d it, I've got to make the most of the sun :star: It's been in such short supply lately :roll:

aw, i can't really complain about my better half at the moment, but then she does have the bonus of not living in the same house as me! :lol:

Yes, I think that probably does make a slight difference Trees :lol:

Hubby was home by 2.30 :shock:

Roxy and I were both on my bed snoozing :dog: :zzz:

OK Trees, we will exempt your other half from the bum kicking then :wink:

Sorry your peaceful day was cut short Katie but how lovely to have a snooze with Roxy dog :P :dog:

Yes, except when she decides to sprall all over me ....... she is [b:b82d22067f]so[/b:b82d22067f] heavy :shock:

How did your appointment go Kristal, or have you mentioned it on another thread ........ :run: will go and have a look :D

I haven't got any problem with my better half :P probably cos there ain't one :ok: so I get to do what i like. Ally has her attic for her noisy things and programmes i don't like 8)

Alicia, sorry you are down but your post title IS positive, you are looking at tomorrow as if it will be better :lol: You are showing optimism cos you think that tommorow will be different and ONE day it will be :smooch: but you might have to wait... :nahnah:

I think the long, cold dark winter has not helped at all :cry:
