@teresa, Volunteer Mentor, chronic debilitating pain loves to smack us in the face with blows to our self-esteem. Three o'clock and the dishes still sit in the sink? And we call ourselves productive?
Hey, I'm with the rest of you. I am just thankful I have gotten done the few things I have been able to accomplish today. My newest meds are helping me tremendously with the anxiety and depression. All my hormone levels are functional at this pount, and what a difference it makes in my life.
Thank you all for being here and sharing your experience, strength, and hope.
Love and light to you all.

I’m not depressed but if you’ve ever read my posts you’d know how abhorrent I think the kitchen is. I even hate walking through it to go into the garage or take out the garbage and often go out the front door.
But I only let a few dishes accumulate. I fixed a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch which is equivalent to making a Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinner all at once. I’m not sure who’s nuts, y’all for liking to cook or me for not. I have to wash that pan before bedtime. I like a clean kitchen in the morning. Well truth be told, I’d prefer no kitchen at all. Now my office unfortunately is another matter.

Abused as a teen. A family member abandoned us 10 years ago.Lyme disease then fibro. Just found out three cardiac arteries are severly calcified. Talk about depression? Yep. If it wasn't for God and my hubby I would give up.
@mamacita It's so good to see you posting. Each day is a new day. Those lists we make in our mind or on paper are not set in stone, or at least they shouldn't be. Do what we can, what we feel ready to do, feel gratitude for accomplishing that. And know we will add to that list tomorrow and continue to whittle away at it. And that is okay.

So nice to have you back in our midst, @mamacita! I'm glad that your new meds are helping. Stay well, we all missed you, but we were glad that you were taking care of yourself and your family.
