there have been many times (when mike has been gone, of course), that i just stand and start yelling "why am i not getting better, i can't do this, is anybody even caring....and on and on"
then i end up crying my eyes out....
i know, i know, but i feel somewhat better, sort of getting the frustrations out.
have you ever done this? is it mental or just lyme? or both?

It does seem to help me too. On face book the dinosaur flair button kind of says it all for me That's why I go to support group. My cousin also has Lyme so we have gripe sessions to one another and that has really helped!!

After Katrina, I was so overwhelmed.
No house, small children, my mother here, no help from the husband....
The constant loud noise of the generator running just about did me in.
However, it disguised my screams of frustration when I'd lose it.
I would walk behind what was left of my house.
I would ask God "What am I going to do?"
Then I'd ask Him to not add any more to me at that time on that day.
I would tell Him that tomorrow I could do more, but at that moment....
I needed some peace.
I am not sure if my outbursts were Lyme related,
Though I am sure that had something to do with it.
I think the hopelessness did me in.
Until I began to hope again.
I did about 1 month after the hurricane.
It was a really long month.
Sending you prayers of hope and understanding.
Sometimes it is all we can do just to endure.
Hugs,
Geneal

I am having a difficult time right now myself. I really don't think that you have anything to be concerned about.....or that it really matters whether it is Lyme. When I say concerned, I mean you are not going nuts.
This is just one ugly disease. I was just crying my eyes out moments ago and I actually said:"Oh God take me already, I can't take this any longer".
But you know what? We are tough. We don't want to leave this Earth, we want to live. That is the reason for all of our tears.
And so much frustration! One symptom clears and another equally difficult symptom appears, maybe even worse than the one that just left.
But I do know this much, your tears are normal a natural response. We can only endure so much before it has to be released....it is theraputic.
You are a beautiful person with a loving spirit...and you always make me laugh. Hang in there friend, the day will come when all we recognize is the strong women that we are....lot's of battle wounds, but we'll come out of it all ok.
Big Hugs, Feelfit

Remember. My Mom always told me this:
"The more you cry, the less you have to pee."
It is good for you on many levels.
You need to grieve and vent so you can go on.

I haven't tried screaming yet, but maybe I will; but yes, when my hubby is at work I sometimes just sit here and cry until I get it all out. Then I pick myself back up, and start fighting again.
We are suffering with a horrible chronic illness and crying or screaming or whatever you need to do to release some of the stress and tension is a good thing.
