@lacy2 Oh, I’m sorry to hear that your positive attitude is fake. Have you given any thought to getting help to work on your negative attitude? Counselors/therapists can be so good! I had one when I first got sick. I felt useless and like my life was over. The therapist helped me adjust to a ‘new normal’.
You say that you downplay your symptoms and also, that your family is tired of hearing your complaints. So, what can you do? You can complain to a good therapist who will then help you help yourself! Ask your doctor, or friends, or the hospital, or local agency on aging for names. Or Google. Look for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
I’m so glad that I agreed to see a therapist! Best present I gave myself!
What do you think? Might a therapist be helpful! Will you think about it and let me know? Becky

@becky that is very nice of you to care about me, and its been on and off for a long time..... what i find now is, like many, so many physical problems kick start the mental.... and I would encourage anyone who is down in the dumps so to speak to get help... mine is a long story and I have this weird sense of humour and can often put in a funny few words at the worst of times; bless you for being so nice and whereas your advise is totally correct, am sort of "been there done that" and now at 77 its a bit much, especially with no family dr and I am going around to clinics and emerge etc. and its just not the same as one home base.... I have a low pain tolerance and also many med reactions so its an uphill battle, thats why I am in awe of those who post on here and still make it through the darkest of times and still be positive.
