Thanks so much guys!! I just saw this because of a kind friend

I'm mentally better today. I really appreciate all your kind words and good thoughts ....

[wheeliebear75]

I'm just really REALLY tired of the constant sensation that "FIRE ants" are gnawing my toes off for their main course & having my ASS 4 DESSERT!!!

I'm sick of having to fight "the gag reflex" every time I have to eat without any pot/marijuana.

And it just blows chunks TO NO END, that I can't just simply be "pain-FREE"! I can spend $ we don't have much of to buy marijuana, I can use Rx(s) which make me a ROLLING ZOMBIE, or there's yacking my brains out til I see stars....but simply being "pain-FREE" never seems to be one of the available options.

OK...I think I'm done whining.

AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!

Can't bloody sleep. Someone cut my flaming ( literally) legs off, the pain and spasms are doing my nut in!

I hate how life welcomes you with open arms and a smile you are a child then turns her back on you when times get hard just leave you and walks away to deal with the pain and struggles which weigh heavily on your brain so many thoughts run wild through my mind trying to maintain every single day but it's hard when your closest friends disappear like you were never here sometimes I think is life worth living to see the sun but remember always cherish the ones who you love and are therefore you they will give you the love to be pain free and encourage you with words to let your mind be at ease to keep your head up and feel the breeze and to give you that hug to set your soul free

I write articles for a magazine, they publish my name as Claire.
I Volunteer in a fire museum, they also are apparently calling me Clare on the paperwork.

DAMN IT I'm going to start calling myself George it's the only way they're going to call me by my real name! I know this is a small insignificant thing. But it's starting to really wind me up.

Sorry. Tough night for you.

Please make it GERMAN, Derek! Susanne! Annette was nice, though ...

No, it is Marianne-Elisabeth (TODAY) ...

<I sometimes have pupils who get my name wrong - mix me up with a colleague - how can that happen? They rarely get the joke when I give them a wrong name in return. All my humour lost ....>

Am I off topic again? So sorry, Calvin!

I should like to be called Agent Chaos as I am in another (oh crap pain sucks group) band of lovely people. I've recently been shortened to Cha Cha I think no one can spell chaos when the pain kicks in

That said...I'm steamed because I can't sleep...My hair finally looks decent but Now I have to brush it!!! I'm sure I'm supposed to wash it too.

I was going to say something important here...or maybe not

Oh yeah....Darn husband called ME flighty while I was working on taxes, yelling at our son, trying to get him to make a choice and asking him why he bollocksed up the banking by stepping in to pay things that were not yet due and therefore wrecking my banking schedule...now I have to figure all this mess out...have PMS...(where the heck is the darn chocolate??? all i can find is chocolax) and celebrate my first year all by sunday! Did I mention I have insomnia??

Agent Chaos

Fear not Agent Chaos! I have helped, in my own little way, by sleeping pretty much non stop since 17:30 yesterday when I decided to "have a quick nap before dinner" - all your sleeping has been done for you! This must be the reason I feel so tired still.

[Tetracyclone]

Agent Cha Cha-

Chew up the Chocolax as much as you like. it will give you a clean attitude on life as well as something else to occupy your sleepless night. Cleaning!

I hate that I can't get into my parents house or anyone in my family's. Get into my sister's place maybe once a year with help and that's it.
I hate that I can't get into any friends houses or most places with out it being a big ordeal.
I hate being invited to parties all the time that are not accessible.
I hate that my husband now thinks I'm fat. Gained quit a bit since being in a chair and that darn para belly.
I hate that we don't have sex as often as we did before being in a chair and it's not the same.
I hate the rain when I can't walk my dog.
I hate not being able to walk, pee or poop like before my accident. Hate, hate, hate!
I hate people asking such stupid questions about how or why I'm in a chair. I don't even know these people. None of their business.
I hate being stared at.
I hate being in pain off and on during the day, everyday.
I hate that I don't have the confidence in myself that I had before being in this chair.
I hate being told to get over being in a chair. They'll never know!

And the list goes on and on and on...........kinda felt good to vent....(O:

But other than that I try to be happy and make the best of it!

Bethann I know EXACTLY how you feel if that makes any difference!

[Stillhope46]

I hate everything about being a SCI person, I hate that I can't play with my grandson like I want to, and he ask me can I walk? and I tell him Naw cause NaNa legs are broken
I hate that I can't go places with my husband like grocery store and such cause it takes too long to get dressed, and I'm too much trouble. I just hate everything about being this way, and I can't think of anything that's great about it, so everything everyone has mentioned I hate also, and more.
