Sometimes you guys don't exist - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Okay, so, this is driving me absolutely nuts. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it here and I love talking to you guys and being able to vent when I need to and get advice if I need to and all that jazz. Well, I don't know if any of you have noticed but I'm here for awhile and then I am gone for awhile and back and forth and back and forth. Well, it's like all of a sudden, I don't even remember this site or all of you exist. I can sit there on my computer and feel like there is some website I want to go to but can't think of what. I can be suffering and in a horrible mental state and think I have no one I can turn to who understands. I completely forget about you all for like a month at a time. Then, when I eventually remember again, it's like finding something beautiful in the midst of everything horrible. But, I don't want to just come here in spurts, it drives me nuts because I can't keep up with everything like that!

It's really quite odd to me how all of a sudden I forget about healthboards COMPLETELY like it does not and never did exist. It's WEIRD. And it upsets me because I don't want to forget. Help!

Just keep coming back and help others when you can and reach out when you can. Most of all, don't be so hard on yourself. There are times when many of us are gone for awhile. Usually when we are feeling better. I don't want to forget what it was like and I want to be remember to be grateful for the recovery I have had. And there are times when I really need you guys. It is a great site; a great group of people.

So your not alone.

morning godsgirl,
take a long deep breath. we all forget things. funny and odd as it is, fibro causes forgetfulness. i used to forget the things i had to do to find my way out of a flare. sometimes i think fibro knows exactly what it is doing in our minds. doing its best to keep us away from those acts that ensure our recovery both emotionally and physically.
for you perhaps it is this site that helps you stay grounded, so fibro wants you to forget us. fibro will not win. you are stronger than fibro is. never forget that.
put a sticky note on your computer or your bathroom mirror reminding you to come visit. i would be lost without sticky notes and my bathroom mirror.
most important of all, simply remember that we are, as far as we know, going to be here a long time. that means when you do come "home" your room will be ready and open arms will greet you.
you are loved, understood, and cared for by all of us no matter where you are.
peace,
bluelakelady
