Members Adriennelc Posted April 2 Members Report Share Posted April 2 What I have noticed that 6 months on from losing my Mr Wonderful I am completely shattered, wiped out and yuck. Putting one foot in front of the other is hard work. Has anyone else experienced this? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shawnt Posted April 2 Members Report Share Posted April 2 Yes, I think the emotional turmoil tires me out. Plus I do not sleep as well as I used to, often have to take pills to get the job done. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think pills were a temporary solution to a permanent situation, took me years to accept the help, now I'm unapologetic and grateful for it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting one foot in front of the other is hard work. Has anyone else experienced this? Absolutely yes and still going on 14 months. I've done myself no favors either being as sedentary as I've been. But I honestly have no motivation. No interests in anything I once had and no places I care to go just to get out of the house. I have no life on my own since I lost Vickie and all the suggestions of things I should do to step forward just role off me. I'm doing what I can to get through each day and no more. Some might say well if you're not willing to help yourself... Yada.. yada.. yet it's the big hole in my life not theirs. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crawled in and out of bed where I felt safe. I am going out and doing things but my physical fitness is at an all time low and we all know what it's like trying to motivate to improve that............you know you should and ultimately you'll feel brighter (hopefully) It's a mind F*** 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to do more walking, heavy lifting, and chores that require more strength like shoveling snow. Stress, however, can be detrimental to your body. Maybe being forced to move around more, that's actually helping counter balance the harm that grief and stress is doing to my body?... Just rambling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this odd thing where I went from completely wiped out to totally keyed up, back and forth. tbh I don't know how I made it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
