Life as a Buddhist Cripple

Meh

Unfortunately there are some situations there aren't ways out of.

The only good way out of this mess is if I won the lottery, or got a new job that somehow paid me a ton very, very quickly. AND if they came up with a cure to FMS, or at least a way to help the pain. AND if they came up with a way to wipe the mind of specific memories.

Unfortunately, none of the above things are going to happen.

But, don't worry.
I can't cope with the pain enough to do myself any serious damage.

Yes, if only a lot of this stuff was possible. it would make life easier for a lot of people.

I'm gonna ask a daft question here but, i can't resist asking. What does "meh" mean? I've seen this word too many times on the net now.

Nicola, when the potential pain is what is stopping you from taking your own life, I think it's time to go and get some help. Don't leave it to get any worse (I am told it can be a lot worse.) Would you consider talking to a counseller? Or find someone who you can talk to at length, who will listen to you and not pass judgement or get emotionally entangled themselves.

I don't really think talking to anyone is going to help.
Talking to someone isn't going to help the fact that I can't pay my rent and I haven't paid my bills for months.

It might help with some of the other stuff, but I'm not good with counselling, thanks to a destructive psychiatrist I saw when I was young.

Hi BC, I know what you mean about the therapist. I've had the worst luck, which has only reinforced a lack of trust with counselors, although I know lots of people whom this has really helped.
Perhaps though you have someone else that you can talk to? Maybe your regular doctor that you see on a fairly regular basis? I agree with jfsouthpaw that if it's really to this point you really need a good support network. For some people it can be family or friends, for others there are good community groups. I'm not sure what's available near you, but the internet can be a great way to find out what your community has to offer.
I hope your feeling better. I know living with chronic pain is hard (hey, it sucks!) but life doesn't have to focus on the pain. Ah, this isn't coming out right at all, poop.

I guess what I meant to say was that there are alot of us out there who understand what you're going through and if you ever want to talk to us, just let us know.

Please post soon, BC - we miss you.

Justin: "Meh" is just an expression of apathy or resignation, sort of like a heavy sigh.
