Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 2321878" data-attributes="member: 85785">That is a start.I can feel the anger, frustration, stress and the obvious questions about how, why and if? The bit I hate is wanting to do things that I found easy only a year ago, and now it's an impossibility, the motivation to just do mundane things takes a lot out of you.It's a viscous circle of your brain, head, heart, legs and your spirit to get up and do something you should be doing, they argue with each other and usually your lethargic part of your brain wins.So, if and when you do achieve something, your body says ok, ill teach you for doing that. The aches and pains are there to remind you, you have to pay a price, if you are not use to doing work.So, until you keep working, the arguments will persist. The mind, heart and soul knows this but your brain and body keeps saying no!!So get off your backside and keep doing it! (But only if you feel like it on a good day!)I keep hearing every time I have a conversation that things will change and it will get better, but it will take time. This is just ********!My way forward with my circumstances, does not encourage me to think that my future will be all sweetness and light, it won't.So, what I have to do is face the future with trying to make the best of things, to be there, to keep my health while my head heals, to be constructive about my finances and do the best I can do. And don't give a **** about my past. But treasure the memories. And see if you can move forward. The things you enjoy doing, should be foremost in your plans, the things you hate and every one has them, just forget to do them!My last thoughts are, just because your surgery is not very good, doesn't mean all your options are null, you can use the internet for finding others just like this forum, who have had the same experience of long covid, find local people who are asking questions on the likes of facebook, Twitter. I have found out that Age uk are really good at all this stuff and help is on the end of the phone.I might not have helped all that much, but I understand, I get where you are! I get it!It's hard, it's horrible and it does hurt. Doesn't mean that you don't take care of you!My daughter told me when I first told her I had a breakdown. It's your turn to be looked after, if you need to talk, I'm there for you, my family did push me, my friends and my ex colleagues, have been so thoughtful and understanding. Talking is good, having friends and family help you is humbling, but you would do it for them, wouldn't you?You! You look after number one. Simples! (Okay, but it sounds good!)I need to stop doing long posts!C'mon the gooners!</blockquote>
