Replies to '10/02 Stressed Out to the Max'

You have no time for work yet, so we should pay you????? Please, why do the weak get a pitty party, there are many out there that work and go to school, My hubby was one of them, working full time 6 days a week and still held a 3.8 to a 4.0, if you have someone living in your home that we the people help you pay for is wrong, why are we paying for him to live with you????? is he the father of this child??? if so why isn't he taking care of this child??????? if he is not the father where is the father??? why isn't he taking care of his child????

Seems to me like you and your boyfriend benifit more then the child does from the childs SSI/SSD

I too have back issues and let me tell ya, which you probably already know, the pain is not only just physical. The fact that there is so dang much that I want to do but cant is really painful emotionaly.

I was in a serious car accident when i was a young woman, I flew 40 feet in the air and when i landed i was in the fetal position, needless to say the paramedics thought i was dead. Man did they ever get a shock when i regained concience long enough to ask if the drive was ok, I dont recall if i heard their answer or not, but the fact that i was even able to do that speaks of a very strong willed person.

A day for me is sweep the floor, and do the dishes, feed my animals, and go into the house and take my pain pills, because i over did it. If i really get ambitious and try to clean my whole house like vacum do laundry, sweep and mop the floor, and feed my animals im going to pay for it for three or four days, with extreem pain.

I put my self through school, you know what sitting in a set for more than a couple hours does to me? When I get up I can hardly walk, probably the only reason I do walk is cause I want to, and like I said I am extreemly strong willed lol. However after a few years i was not able to continue working in that setting, and there is very little else i can do. So that is why i got into looking after animals to try and generate extra income to help my hubby with the bills.

My doc said my pain thresh hold is unbelivable, since I do not like pills, I only take them if I can't handle the pain, and i need some sleep.

I have  arthritis in my feet and knees, since i was in little, and it was never treated since my mom said suck it up and deal with it, so I guess I learned over the years to endure pain.

Any way, my point is, not every one is going to be able to do what i did, or handle things the way I have, but i certainly can empathize with their pain, both emotionaly and physicaly. I have to be honest there are days when the pain is so bad, I say to my self I can not live like this, and really mean it. Thankfully, i have my hubby and strong will to keep me going, and most of all my faith that God wont give me more than i can handle, just wish sometimes he didnt think I can handle so much =(.

For the woman that is dealing with all these stress's, know that you are not alone and their are many many people dealing with issues very similar to yours. As for working part time, if at all possible please continue to do that! Outside contact is so very important! I don't grt much outside contact any more since a couple hour drive is going to hurt me, so when i do make it to a freinds or relatives house, they are totally happy lol, since they know what it cost me to get there.

Any way feeling twinges so gonna sign off now Good luck and God bless you!
