Subject: Re: Does It Ever Go Away???????? [ NT ] !!!Discouraged!!!!

Honestly, does this thing ever go away. The inability to think clearly, or feel like one has enough energy to make the little things in life easier?

On this day of national prayer I will be praying for all of you and wishing that all are as well as can be expected.
I suppose that I am just fatigued beyond my limit at this point in time. See my therapist today and even that seems like a waste of time.

So tired of feeling like crap all the time, and wondering if it is all worth it. Even the slightest bit of stress is sometimes more than I am able to bear. My mind is never in the same place at the same time. Thinking about five different things at once and not being able to accomplish even one.

Well enough of my whine, as the DR. strictly forbids drinking especially from the cup of self pity. LOL. Hopes that all are well and prospering.

God bless you brothers and sisters in life.
AGAPE.

William

I'm not sure if it ever goes away. Perhaps with therapy and time and lots of hard work it will. I think for most of us, we have good times and bad times. The chatter in my brain is often worse when I'm stressed. The energy also comes and goes...mostly goes. For me, I've come to accept the fact that I'll never have as much energy or feel as well as my non HCV friends who are my age. It sucks, but it's life. It could be a lot worse and I try never to forget that.

Thank you for the kind comments, I need to keep my expectatinons to a realistic level, and work on myself. Yes, I do walk and as a matter of fact have again started to meditate as well as do breathing exercises.

Several years before treatment and diagnosis, I was heavily into the martial [or is that marital]lol; arts. Though I now smoke too much, I have worked myself up to the point of breathing only three times [inhalation, and exhalation]per minute. Not an easy feat, though I assume that once I quit smoking it will be even fewer.

I now strive for progress in life as opposed to perfection. Much easier for me as well as everybody else in my inner circle. I also spend much time in reading inspirational literature which consists mostly of scripture. Early on in life I thought that it was all silliness, though I have since come to realize that the human condition, as well as the human animal has not [nor will not] since recorded history. The only thing that has changed is technology. Smarter, though not wiser.
Thank you again for responding to the post and the kindness, and caring that has been conveyed.

May God Bless you and yours in this upcoming month, and future.

AGAPE.

William I dont know if you remember me from web MD , but you were there for me when I first started tx. Therapy is work , sometimes hard work , I get home from therapy and my mind is very very tired , but its worth is great , the good days will be better , Learn to rest your mind and let thoughts flow into you instead of forcing yourself to think about anything. Try to only expect of yourself the acomplishment of only one or two tasks a day if even that because you are worthy of a day here and there when nothing gets done . your prayers also can be for yourself THATS OK!!! OK!!!! the works of therapy arnt always aparent until later so dont give up , your lucky to have it available to you , hang in there and nurture yourself this week , perhaps a nature walk somewhere with lots of benches to sit on , or feeding the ducks somewhere . Get yourself a kitten ??? much hope and affection sugarB

It's true our live has changed forever but its what we do with what we have been given. I felt the same way last night, I was sick, had a hard day at work came home to bill paying, a crabby husband (remember bill day ;-))and 2 grown kids sniping at each other. I thought maybe I should just go off somewhere by myself and be miserable alone.....but no here I am back at work....when I get through treatment I want to do something to help other people. Susie, Juno, Toosh, and Rocky from webmd, Hep Rick all are sick but give of their time and hearts. People like this are my heros. I too will never be healthy again, never run a marathon but I hope I can do something to help others before I depart this earth. Please cheer up and be good to yourself ........
Luv, Faith Hope,

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Take our hugs every 30 minutes, and 3 scoops of Vanilla or Chocolate once a night, while in bed watching the Food Network.
It will get better, has to, because lots of us are there, William.

Sending you best thoughts.
