Depression Understood Forums

My body is not cooperating; I have a disease that wears me down. My physical abilities are like someone twice my age, or worse, and on bad days every movement is costly. Work is difficult, and I spend a lot of my time off resting so that I can manage to work the next time. Even rest can be tedious or even painful because I'm usually exhausted from the previous day. I've tried to make money from home but haven't made enough and now I've had to cut back on those efforts, almost to a standstill. I plan to apply for disability, but it's going to be a hard road even waiting to see if I'm approved. I have things I would like to share with the world in my lifetime, but I'm too tired to write it all down, neat things I could make but I usually don't have the energy to do them. Instead, I just try to direct my efforts to make it through each day.

I need a miracle, a lottery, something.... These days I actually like to laugh about my problems but sometimes they do get me down, thus I logged in tonight. I always give people some spur-of-the-moment advice, turn about is fair play, what do you suggest?

hi there. im deeply sorry to hear about the pain you go though. i will admitt i envy your strength to work. disability is a long process but its worth it in the end i bet for you. i wish i had a suggestion for you hun but im still thinking if ine. what if you tried to share the things you want with us?? that might help if you'd like to... *hugs*
