I had felt extremely suicidal over the weekend but you guys on here helped me negotiate around those feelings (not that I would carry it through as I couldnt do that to my family).
My gynae pain has finally gone so thats one less thing to worry about
Can I ask does anyone else find themselves feeling very self conscious and vulnerable with RA. I seem to feel very vulnerable and overwhelmed in silly situations like my kids arguing or confrontations outside. Maybe its just me. I never used to be like that in fact i used to enjoy a good showdown whne people were rude I had no problem in standing up fir myself now I quiver in a corner and cry. :oops:
Anyway all that aside just a big thanks toeveryone who has left me a message.
Love

Hi Teresa,
Vulnerable is my middle name. I feel quite fragile at times.But also life is too short to get involved in trouble so I am more laid back than I used to be. Things dont ruffle my feathers so much.
So no you are not alone,
Best wishes

HI all Im feeling a bit better again today, managed to get out today my husband and I took the dog for a short walk this morning. It was very painful and I am resting for a bit now but it was so good tog et some fresh air.
Today looks to be a good sunny day so I plan to sit in the garden for a few hours and hopefully tomorrow too. (lobster pink here I come ).
THankyou all for your support I do have close friends but I dont think they really understand what Im going through although they do try. I dont think anyone could imagine the difficulties unless they have faced them themselves. Its also a bit embarrassing to be ill all the time I always worry they'lll get sick of me being sick so avoid burdening them with all my rubbish.
My daughters made dinner last night which was lovely.
LOve

Ah Theresa!!
Your family obvioulsy treasure you
Just be a little selfish for a while and keep talking.
I hope you continue the upward slope - hard work, but you are doing well.
Love and best wishes

Hello Theresa,
Hope you're feeling better this morning.
I've just received this, and I thought about you, and thought I'd share it.
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there..
I think instead of 'I' and 'me' it should read 'us' and 'we', cos I think the whole site is batting for you.
