i was diagnosed with fibromylagia/cfs and i hate telling people because i always thought it's just a term for hypochondriacs or people who are lazy or exaggerating. sometimes i still think it is and that i'm just being a baby.

karma, baby, karma

I know how you feel, believe me. I was diagnosed with it and while I believe it's real, I think it's overdiagnosed and so I still seek to find other answers and treatments for what may be causing my pain. At the very least my constant fighting for other answers is keeping me as optimistic as possible about it.

it just bothers me that they have no lab test for it or something, you know? i feel like they are just humoring me and that they must think i am actually just imagining it but they know from experience that you can't say that to a patient, so they made up this fancy name for it.

We were just hanging out on the balcony and there's a mom and kid outside and the kid is screeching/wailing at the top of its lungs and the mom just keeps saying noooo nooooo TAKE YOUR FUCKING KID INSIDE INSTEAD OF STANDING THERE MAKING US SUFFER.

Oh, this is a bad characteristic because I just RAGE at these annoying fuckers. I am way too irritable and hate people.

I am really morbid and always think the worst things have happened to my loved ones if I don't hear back from them for a while or I'm unable to reach them for a period of time.

Oh God, me too. My mom is horrible about answering her damn phone so I'm always picturing her in a flaming wreck on the side of the highway.

My depression is probably my worst problem lately because it effects everything. I'm not energetic at all so I end up being lazy more often than I should, I don't react very emotionally to things when I probably should, and I'm just unmotivated in general. I think for the most part my depression just makes me "meh" rather than sad but I do have those moments too.

And I feel bad for it but I will frequently go into phases where I'm annoyed with certain people, particularly friends and family. I love them but for a few days or weeks they just annoy the ever-loving fuck out of me. I usually never tell them this because it's me, not them. They're not doing anything wrong, I'm just annoyed and I don't know why. It's a frustrating feeling but during those times it's just best for me to back off for a while and not see them as much.

I can be pretty cynical.

I dunno.

I'm also so far physically fucked up that I don't think I'm ever going to get better and I hate myself for not appreciating my body when I had it in perfect condition.

that first bit basically describes how i've felt this year.

[shinga]

It's a bitch :(

[reginald]

yeah. at the same time though it's just sorta..eh. I don't know. I hope things get easier for you in some way, bb.

i am such a terrible listener.

[sweet_light]

What?

I make really obvious and lame jokes...and laugh at them.

[shinga]

Gah I have moments where I am too. People aren't uninteresting it's just that my thoughts go on a random rampage and I get distracted by them and a minute or two later I realize, oh crap, I have no idea what they've been saying this whole time. D:

[foxlets]

it's my worst trait by a long way. i find it very difficult to listen to anything no matter how interesting but that shouldn't be an excuse, it makes conversation hard and it makes people think i'm much more thoughtless/dumb than i am. i can't even listen to people in shops trying to serve me.
