    coping is hard
    i have trouble not thinking of this every day because i still have pain in anus. still can not drive for long times due to pressure and it tears the tissue. yes, i hate it. so i know that i am depressed but EVERYONE always says ::: be happy that you are alive. be grateful for how far you have come. sometimes i want to yell at them but i do not. i need compassion and understanding and rarely do i get it. my attitude needs help. hugs to all of us. this c. is truly one that keeps on giving . sephie

    Hi Sephie,
    My pain issues
    Hi Sephie,
    My pain issues come and go and when they come, I feel despair. When they go I feel Euphoric. The push pull of these emotions is hard on me and those who know me. My husband says he has "compassion fatigue." He said that before I was diagnosed and continues to say it. He misses the person I was used to be. But we are both in our 60's now and no one is who they used to be when they were twenty years younger! I think I am getting "compassion fatigue!" lol.

    I am so glad I have you people!

    All the best,
    Sandy
