Hi. I'm boo. I've posted a few times on this site, but I'm still pretty new.

I just wanted to you ask everyone:

Do you ever get so tired of everything (all your medical appointments and health issues), that you just feel like you should be dead already? Like you've been through so much that you can't understand why you are still alive?

I'm not saying I want to die, but at this point I am just surprised what all my body can put up with. This really only came up for me today because I slept all night, turned off my alarm, slept for a few hours until I needed to leave for an appointment (physical therapy), barely participated there, then went home and slept till 4pm. I skipped all of work, even though I love working, and didn't even call in sick. I don't know how much longer my body will last, but if I were to keel over and die tonight, i wouldn't be surprised.

What about you? Do you ever feel like you can feel yourself dying?
Reply back. It'd be nice to know I'm not the only one that feels like this.

I'm sorry you're feeling so blue today, boo.

I remember your first post and I think you had a number of health issues and I can imagine it would all be very difficult to sort out and deal everything especially as it's so complicated. I'm sure the members on many different forums here feel the way you describe from time to time.

I hope you're on the road to better health very soon.

Let me think here...lol.....yes I get tired of everything.....trying to keep up with dr's appointments, meds (one day last week I took my night time meds that morning....didn't know it until that night...think that was the addition of lyrica talking to me) and I totally get the sleeping.....one Sat I slept until 5 pm and then got up because the kids were coming......slept this past Sat until 2:50 pm.....jumped up, got ready as best I could and was out the door at 3:15....I would never have left the house except it was my 17 year old granddaughter's prom night and she would have been devastated if I didn't go and see her and have pics made with her. That totally wiped me out.

The only time I've felt like I was dying was when the pain is so bad and I can't get it under control with pain meds. Yep.....laying on the couch moaning and groaning feels like I'm near death even though I know for sure I'll live through it.

Chin Up .... Stay Strong ..... we're all in this together so thanks for posting what you feel.....we're here to hold you up and support you.

Hello and I hope that you are better today. Yes, most of us with chronic conditions, have times when we are fed up, tired, sick of doctors, sick of appointments, sick of tests, sick of being sick. It can make you tired, depressed, and angry!!! It had been 14 years since I had a vacation, and wouldn't you know it, I got sick on vacation too. Yep pretty dog gone mad
I think what helps, is coming here and talking about it. My PCP wouldn't have time to listen to all the complaints I have, and I sure don't want to burden my son any more than I do. When it all gets overwhelming, and I take that slide down, I run to this site for companionship, prayers, and compassion.
When I do feel good, or better.... I try to give back to those in the same situation I am in. The body is very complex, and we are not just our bodies, but our spirits too. If we can boost the spirit, that in turn helps our body. Being here on NT, is a blessing for the spirit. Keep coming back Boo, and talk to us as much as you can. It really does help. I will listen and so will others on this site. Be at peace today as much as you can, and know that others care for you. ginnie
