[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 213887, member: 2005"] I don't know how you do it. I have a mini Winter and so I know how draining that is, but I don't have the serious health problems as well(I probably have fibromyalgia, high blood pressure). What I do have is the same overwhelmed, depressed, crappy feeling where it doesn't seem anything is working and why bother. I have started taking St John's Wort, eating alot of chocolate and cuting down on trying to please everyone. I've given myself permission to withdrawl a bit and just focus on the neccesary stuff. I've got to deal with Major and my difficult child L, I've got to keep the house from getting shut down by the health dept, I've got to give husband a little attention every now and then. I don't have it in me right now to be able to help my sister with her mental health issues, I am taking some time from "being there" for my mom. I know I need to get back to dealing with these things but I CANT right now. Lightening my load and the SJW has been helping. Just the other day, my airhead 16 year old didn't shut the shower curtain right and I had water pouring out of my ceiling and I didn't even cry. It must be working! I am the glue that holds this family together, you are the glue in yours. You HAVE to do whatever it takes to keep yourself going. Maybe you need to give yourself permission to get royally pi$$ed off at the unfairness of your health for a little while, maybe you need an anti depressant, maybe you need to let a few more things slide for awhile, I hope and pray you can find what it is that will make it easier to carry the load you do.
