Life feels like an avalanche right now. Things are getting worse, and they're getting worse fast. I feel helpless. I feel frustrated and angry and sad. But there's really nothing I can do but wait

What you describe is exactly why I started pain meds in the first place. Taking care of Enoch through the week had me in so much pain by the weekend I couldn't do anything anymore. Even if no one around you understands, know that I do, because you're describing my life. *hugs*
*hugs* There are, like, a very tiny number of people out there who "get it" and what this is like. And there are way, way more people who think they get it, but don't... This isn't the same as "I work 10-hour days, six days a week and I'm sore and tired all the time." I mean, that sucks and all. I've been there. And I've been through remission, and healthy. And I've been at the absolute effing bottom. All of this is... just... impossible to imagine if you haven't experienced it. I know I'm preaching to the choir. It's nice to vent, to someone who understands. I love Alex to death, and I couldn't ask for anybody better, but I know he can't even begin to comprehend what it's like. Do you ever feel like that with Eric?
I don't know how you manage to do it, with two kids and pets and all that. I feel like I'm in over my head with just school, one baby, and a dog, heh.
Oh, I absolutely feel like that with Eric. Mostly he's very understanding, but occasionally he gives me crap. There was a time when at my mom's someone wanted something from the basement and I asked him to get it and he was fairly nasty about it, not understanding at all that I was in massive pain and going up and down two flights of stairs was just not in the cards at that moment. Now, those occasions are rare, but the fact that it's happened at all shows he doesn't really get it, even when he scolds me for wearing myself out for doing too much. I mean, if I flat out refuse to do something, there's a reason for it
