Friend Request ๐งก
Hi all ๐
Bit of a pathetic post, I'm sorry, but I need this.
Would anyone be willing to be a friend? Since my symptoms really started getting bad around 18m ago, my mood has just been getting worse and worse and now I just don't know what to do.
I have a husband, I have my daughter. They are wonderful but they don't understand (which I get, why would they?) I really need to talk to someone who gets me.
Why I cannot bear to be touched anymore because my skin physically hurts enough already.
Why the washing up wasn't done last night because it took too much energy just to lift my arms up.
Why I am so desperately low.
I am happy to talk over messenger, but as I'm sure you all get, it can take me 5-7 business days to respond to each message ๐
Bonus if you're anywhere near Eastbourne, East Sussex and can bear to meet me for a coffee. I promise I'm not all doom and gloom, just in a place I never thought I'd be in. ๐งก

I'm also new here and learning how to explain it to my partner who has also been dealing with her own nerve pain for years now. So she at least has a semblance of understanding. I started the MSAA podcast which has been helpful. But if you ever need another ear that's an ocean away I got you ๐
Also it's not a pathetic post! I have grapple with serious depression issues and the one thing I should've done is what you just did. Reaching out and being vulnerable is the most courageous thing you could do, you should be proud of yourself for it ๐
