While I KNOW that there are *many* survivors out there, I cannot seem to pull myself up out of this funk!
Physical, financial, emotional, marital, parenting problems- you name it. My life just really stinks  Then, I feel like a jerk for complaining. Countless people have it much worse than I! Who am I to complain when others are freaking fighting to live?? I feel so guilty, I don't even go onto the support link anymore. Instead, I just keep living. Forcing myself to stay in the moment, rather than look back on the past - and all that is gone. It is so hard!
I just thought I'd introduce myself here. Maybe some of you have felt the same & have pointers to share. I just don't feel like I fit in anywhere I go.

Hi Shez, try to concentrate on the positive in your life. If you can try to turn your experience into something positive by helping others.
I have found that complaining and talking about symptoms does not make me feel any better, it actually makes me feel worse.
I am glad you are here, things will get better, concentrate on enjoying the life the best you can.
I have not had any depression, I think it is because I am just glad to be able to do a little more each day. I concentrate on the things that I can do instead of the things I cannot do.
Someone was telling me enjoy each moment as nothing lasts forever.
