Ok

Everyone will tell you

That’s true.
I just wish someone
would have told me
just how bad
Not OK can feel. #ok #Not ok

Can't seem to get out from under

I try so hard to get out from under the many challenges of depression and other issues.
I'm on disability and am started to work part time. I'm in a private type of subsidized housing. My son who has multiple disabilities and now is blind is trying to become independent and move out. He is really struggling.
I don't know why, but my rent is being raised $50 per month. I'm barely making it financially now. I was badly scammed and had fraud and identity theft be ause I was so stressed out I didn't realize until too late that the people calling and pressuring me were a scam.
I have severe medical issues that require surgeries and I won't get paid for the time because I'm new and part time.
I have lost all my friends due to my depression and other illnesses. I have really failed in life. I'm a single mom and have tried hard but failed my son in many ways. I'm afraid we are going to end up homeless.
I hate the system. I got off it before and I wish I had never gotten back on but I ended up back in the hospital. I am angry at mental illness. I am angry people judge me so harshly. I'm angry at the trap the disability system puts me in.it is so hard to not be angry at myself because I haven't gotten better and succeeded.
I've been doing this for decades and I am old now, and feel worse in my depression, etc. than I ever felt. I honestly can't think clearly enough about how this is going to work out. I will try to talk to the property manager. The rent will probably go up more because I haven't reported I'm working. I feel like there is no way out and no way I'm going to make it, but that is my depression talking.
I'm sorry to be a downer. That is why I have no friends. No one wants to be around a depressed person. I'm supposed to be positive. #Depression #alone #struggling #Finances #single mom #Not making it

Aged Before My Time

My knee popped out to the side over a month ago. Has not healed much at all, despite my taking good care of it. Finally went for x-ray: ugh not even 40 yet and moderate arthritis. Thanks hEDS-you suck! Still fighting for physical therapy too.

Now, off to get a peg leg and parrot to complete the ensemble! Don’t worry, I’m a whiz at sea shanties already!

Especially when it sucks, try & find the humor, aye Mighty Mateys! # ehlers-danlos#Not walking #pirate life coming soon…#scootertheplank

Just need someone to hear me and understand

I am sitting in my chair at the house with my loving loyal dogs with tears streaming down my face. I don’t think I even can explain all the emotions I am feelingrifht now. I am just home from another doctor appointment who was very pleased with themselves when they told me (one of so many) how healthy I am and how fortunate I am because all of their tests and questions lead to finding nothing. I am happy yet also furious. No one wants to help me figure out what’s going on with me. Just tell me to exercise more and things would be oh so much better. I have had the same basic symptoms come and go for 10+ years with the last 2 years getting so bad I have had to give up teaching and wasn’t even able to do it part time or anything else I trieed. Physically and mentally, I guess I just feel broken. The symptoms get worse and new ones add on. And I am so emotionally exhausted from the pain and the fact that I can’t do the things I want to that I am constantly angry at the people around me and feel worthless. I am seeing a therapist but haven’t found one who’s been able to help me cope with this part of my depression. My family loves me and provides the only support they k ow how. But I can’t take another well that’s wonderful they didn’t find anything wrong. I am screaming silently with frustration and pain and the agony of people’s expectations of me because everything’s “ok” me you look great this is the first time I posted and This is probably rambling but I just needed to get some of this out of me. Thanks for listening to my rant.

#Not here to meet men

So yes I'm aware that this a public group, but I've noticed that there are people that simply are looking to meet someone, that's great if they stay in that section. I personally feel that alot of the groups that talk about very personal things should not be public, these are private thoughts, comments by one's that are affected, or have loved ones that have these illness, or are survivors of some form of abuse. I personally have decided that if you do not have a bio up about why you want to be apart of certain groups and yet want to privately message me up ignore it because as stated in not here to meet men. I've been happily married for 32 years, I do not mean to offend anyone, im only going off of my own experience.
