I just need to vent somewhere where others actually understand what I'm going through. I've always been a hard working and over-achiever. I look back and see that there was a time when I was a wonderful mother. We baked together, cooked food from scratch, looked forward to preparing meals for the family and kept my house in order (not always clutter free but it was clean).
It's like a night and day difference now. I can't even carry a load of laundry down to the laundry room because my hands hurt so much. I've made an arrangement with my husband that if he does the laundry and carries the clean baskets up to me, I will fold and put away. Can you believe that folding and putting away laundry takes everything I have. I'm so sick of this!
I rarely cook dinner anymore - I was going to make a ham the other night and my husband had to take over because I just couldn't lift the dish with the ham in it to put it into the oven. He has to do everything for me these days! I plan to bring my kids to a doctor appointment and most of the time he ends up taking them because I'm so exhausted by the end of the day.
My youngest daughter is 8 and recently started complaining about having pain all over her body. She tends to complain about whatever area is bothering me at the time. It's breaking my heart because I think she's feeling like she has to be in pain to get noticed.
So I have pain all over, recently learned from an MRI that I have arthritis and bulging discs in my neck which is adding to the fibro pain. I think the plan there is to do steroid injections which scares the heck out of me.
And I know I'm not really making any sense, I'm just venting anything that comes to mind. I should create a word document and just start listing my issues so I feel like I have a place to vent where no one will get sick of listening to me complain.
And if you made it all the way through this novel of a post - thank you
