The Round Peg -Square hole
 
Hi Girls is Mr Bitter---I am OK---No Gig emergency---No One to talk MS with tho----But I guess that's pay Back for being A guy with MS--------Its like Rachel Ray--The View and OH DARN The Convict form Connecticut all wrapped in one tight MS Package----

No One to talk to about the new life--To BitC----H To....No one to be Pete with-------



Man that is a bummer its a double life sentence...............

My friend kid was dx'd with essential tremor? wow that hurts---he lost his DAD early--now this----MAN------that's A shot at ones faith----Hopefully ali12 will give me some words for his MOM my friend and his MOM-------And him-----how tough----what a bummmmmer

Uh, Sal, I am a AMN with MS! How easily they forget!

Hang in there, Pete, every day has some good and some not-so-good in it. One of the many pluses here at NT is that there is more good here than out there in the rest of the world. :)

Ok I'm gonna be the one to say it...as everyone knows I am sometimes the queen of tough love.

How many more posts of people ignoring you...no one talking to you....being a bother to everyone...this is thread number what? In every single one everyone tries to encourage you...several offer to PM back and forth with you....I personally texted, called, and emailed with you. * edit*

Hopefully someone can encourage you enough *edit* this life is only what you make it out to be. Not trying to be a b-word here but speak from some experience. *edit* JMHO

I'm so sorry to read that you're still feeling down.

It sounds like you've been in a tough place where people don't understand you, and I certainly understand when you have no-one to talk to about how you feel, and about how MS is affecting you.

I too have been there. In fact, I only have my husband, my DD and my friends here on NT now that I can talk to. No-one else wants to listen, and MS has completely alienated me from my sister now. I suppose that wasn't quite true as my sister has always been full of herself, and her own problems have always been more important than anyone else's. 'My' MS has always been something between us. It's as if she's jealous that I have a diagnosable illness, and she doesn't!

It's not easy when all you want to do is talk, or vent or whatever word you want to use, but it sure is nice when some-one takes the time to listen, and that's what we do best here. We listen.

Keep talking to us, and hopefully soon we may be able to help you towards a more positive outlook. Just wanted you to know that I for one, care. :hug:

Kitty 02-06-2009 06:19 AM

Hi Pete. I'm sorry you're feeling all alone.....there are lots of us here who care. We've all posted and I'm sure some have even PM'ed you. I know I did.

It's easy to feel defeated....especially when those we're in contact with everyday seem to be wrapped up in their own world and their own issues.

I come here to NT because there are people who truly understand and "get it". Most of my immediate family is gone (as in passed away). I have my two boys and one sister left. Twenty-something young men have busy lives of their own....not to say they don't care but you remember how it was when you were 21 or even 25. Busy, busy and lots of friends to keep up with. My only living sister is in VA so it's not like she's right here with me. So.....don't think you're the only one who feels alone sometimes. But, NT makes up for alot of that for me....lots of very caring and supportive people here.

One thing I've found that helps me when I'm feeling low is to try and find someone to help. Even if it's just an encouraging post or maybe an unexpected card in the mail....just something to let them know I'm thinking of them. Makes me feel better, too, so it's got a double bonus! :)

There are lots of us who care, Pete. Hope today's a better day for you. :hug:

I believe that the above post should have been sent in a PM....but since it wasn't I will comment on it here on this forum.

IMHO......this site is about support.......helping each other along the way. Some of us need more help and support than others. We're all at different stages.......I remember when some of us needed lots of support while going through difficult life changes. And everyone was and is there for whoever needs it.

We never know what's going on at the particular moment someone is posting. We cannot see beyond the forums and the posts into the individual heart of the poster.

If someone reaches out (no matter how many times they have before) for help there's a reason for it. And I don't believe any of us should sit in judgment as to whether or not that person is justified in asking for help.....or simply venting about the unfairness (real or perceived) of their life at that particular moment.

soxmom 02-06-2009 09:21 AM

Sorry its so rough for you pete.:(:hug: I am here if you need to talk.
Yup...this ms sucks...some days more than others. We dont mind if
you only come here on your sucky days....we just hope when you
are not here...things are better.:) :hug:

kicker 02-06-2009 10:52 AM

MS does suck. Maybe a band-aid approach doesn't cut it sometimes, we all have MS in different ways. Think we all feel like square pegs in round holes but here I see I'm not a square peg in a round hole, these holes are more squared off. We have MS here and that's the norm.

PJAMES 02-06-2009 11:37 AM

hollym 02-06-2009 12:29 PM

I am so sorry you are having such a rough time right now. You certainly have quite a lot of negative stuff happening in your life. I see why you would be getting bitter about it.

I can't offer you solutions, just a prayer. There is only one who can help you and I pray that He intervenes in your life with the peace that only He can offer.

soxmom 02-06-2009 12:38 PM

Desinie 02-06-2009 05:01 PM

I'm really sorry, Pete, to hear all that you're going through. I think anyone would feel the way you do if they had all that on their plate at the same time. Hang in there. You're in my prayers.

Jappy 02-06-2009 07:58 PM

PETE you really have a heavy
load to carry.

MS alone is heavy enough. It's no wonder why you feel the
way you feel.
I am glad that you found NT. Lash out, get the anger out.
We can listen, maybe give you some advise. (us crazy ladies) :D

We can't promise you the MOON only our friendship and
support.

Post anytime, even if you just want to say

"hello"---it's Pete

I FEEL GOOD

I FEEL TERRIBLE and you don't have to say
anything else if you don't want to.

Jappy :):)

soxmom 02-17-2009 09:48 AM

Hiya Pete...
OK is good. I'm pretty sure (though I know I can't speak for everyone, I do anyway :o) we all experience plenty of not OK days, so I'm happy for you! Maybe a change in locale will be a blessing in disguise. :hug:
