I hurt, period.  And my husband keeps getting mad at me because I forget things.  He still thinks fibro is a "phantom disease" and that fibro fog is an excuse I use to explain why I am not paying enough attention to certain things.  And I do seem to get "lost in the fog".  But I don't want to.  I sit in group (I'm in an intensive day program to

I second this. I didn't mean to be blunt when you are already facing a lot of problems. But just so you know, we are all trying to support you, not push you into something you don't want. Again, I wasn't trying to insist you leave your husband- as previously mentioned by another poster, I don't know the intricacies of your marriage and can't tell you how to manage it. If its not what you want, and you're not ready, thats perfectly fine. I'm not going to look down on you for that, you have my full support. I'm sorry that I was judgemental of your situation, I don't know enough about it.

Since you have been having such a difficult time focusing and being aware in group, do you think it would be helpful to try taking the lead some more? I know that a lot of times, these things can be very overwhelming and it feels like a blanket of distress- re-living emotions you wanted to just put behind you, and then seeing other people re-live them too. Carpe diem, though, and I'm not just talking about today. Sieze the day, and yesterday, and the day before that, and then maybe you can seize the future.

::hugs:: I know that your therapy sessions must be incredibly hard and often we walk away from them exhausted. good luck.

I was taking the lead a lot at the beginning. A couple of the women seemed to think I was monopolizing the group, so I started being quieter. I'm not real good at finding the middle ground yet. It's either too much or not enough.

It always takes a long time finding a comfortable interaction. You'll get the hang of it soon :)
