Something’s not right

Feeling Lost

Feeling Lost

i feel really lost in life. i dont know what i want to do in life or i do but it doesnt seem overly acheiveable. im so indecisive all the time. i dont know what to do.

im finding myself getting so jealous of other people who are doing well and succeeding in life. i normally love whe those around me succeed but sometimes i wish their experiences were mine. so many things have changed in my life or have been placed upon me that its hard to see the next day sometimes.

Re: Feeling Lost

i know who you are @Owlunar

its actually complex regional pain syndrome. this one is related to the nerves and a dysfunction they have. its quite interesting to read and learn about but not as fun to live with.

i have travelled to another state for specialised treatment and have just undergone a week of intensive IV in patient medical treatment to try and reset the nerves but it hasnt improved it as much as id hoped.

i have already been the team leader. after 7 months i decided to drop down from the role as it was to much to manage with family as well. i really should learn to put my job and myself first before family.

Re: Feeling Lost

I'm sorry hon @outlander fell asleep quite quickly last night.

I hope today brings a little bit of joy into your world.

Since I first met you, you have had to deal with so much responsibility, much more than anyone else your age.

Sometimes we have to try and put ourselves first, for our own mental health. I know it is hard to do at times, but please try and look after yourself.

Sending lots of love your way 💕💕

Yes @outlander

Complex regional pain disorder - of course - I know that's difficult condition to treat and can only be managed. I might be repeating myself because I wrote a long message last night - lying in bed with my laptop on my tummy and somehow deleted the whole message - darn it.

I read that your Pop's daughter moved in uninvited - now that's a real spanner in the works unless she's there to help with your Pop - uh ha - I guess not as you didn't call her your aunt. I won't write what I really think about that except you have enough on your plate.

I read right through this thread last night - yeah - I really understand. You have an idea about making the future better for yourself and you are actually achieving. Education does improve lives - it was my saving when I went through my dark years. Actually every - just about - told me that going to university was too much - actually it was my troubled son and sad marriage - my studies were the easy part though I had to defer sometimes.

It seems to me that people are too much of you and you are a good hearted - a kindhearted person- you are still caring for at least one of your sisters as well. That's a lot - and you would like to get a place on your own. That's a brilliant aim. I hope you can achieve that - it would make some much difference - I have lived alone for about 34 years now and I get along with my own company - we never disagree or argue - we like the same food and TV programmes.

Other people - yeah - perhaps if we could swap lives with the people who seem to have it easier - they might learn how bitter some pills are - and chronic pain is definitely unpleasant. My pain specialist told me there would be very few people lining up to have what I have - that's my irreparable shoulder injury - and I cope with it much better than most people. It agrees it's not easy and I know your life is not easy and for the years I have known you - you have battled. And you are a battler - not that my saying this makes it any easier for you. Maybe knowing there is one person who does might. And I do.

I remember you were hurt by a horse a long time ago - someone else's horse you were wrangling. I forget what happened. And you had trouble with your teeth as well.

That's a bunch of really tough issues. I really care Outlander. You never did anything to deserve all of this - this is what you have and it's really tough.

Sending my best thoughts
