Thank you all for your advice, caring and well wishes...big hugs to all of you!

My fibromyalgia is acting up and with it comes a vulnerability in the depression department, but I fight it with everything I've got. And as you all know, my everything is my father God, amen.

Times like these, other symptoms crop up, but I am on it, taking a med to counteract or at least alleviate the aches and pains that comes with that and drink a lot of water and try to keep active although that is sometimes very difficult. It comes and goes, so it could last a few days, weeks or months...the last bout was 6 months ago. That lasted a few weeks. I am hoping though that now that I recognize the signs I can head this off at the pass, so to speak...

When it rains it pours huh?

After I wrote that last post of mine, I was able to let it go, you know, the grip it tried to have on me, the feelings I had and was going thru with the ex...it's insane really, and yet, it is and was a reality for me at one point in my life. It was the only longterm relationship I'd ever had, and it was so dysfunctional. I am very blessed to be rid of that. We have children together, but I try not to allow her to involve me, although I am not always successful. She has no control over me anymore like in the past, but sometimes there are triggers yet today, seeing it in print like that was a great eye opener(not to mention release) for me.

Thank you Apocalipstic for this thread. I can soooo appreciate it today as everyday. Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you? I do. As do many others...you are indeed very special and I am very happy to count you as a friend.

God bless you all--love and blessings to you all!
