Dear Peggy, I am so sorry you are feeling so blue and in pain! I know how you feel, I am there so often. Today, for example, I stayed in bed until 1 pm! It was such a beautiful day I really wanted to take advantage of it by taking in a long walk, but I just could not. Instead I worked in the yard and pulled some weeds.I have learned not to beat myself up for not being able to do what most people get to do each day. I just take advantage of my good days and get as much done as I can. I have learned to be grateful to God for everything. Yes, including my pain. If I did not have all this endo trouble I would not be able to stay at home and be a housewife. It is not glamourous, but I do get to spend a lot of time with my pets and take care of things around the house. I am so blessed to have such an understanding husband who goes grocery shopping for us and does all the hard stuff around the house. He works very hard to support us and I know he still loves me despite how aweful I have been to him because of all the pain and the mood swings. I read somewhere that one's suffering is an opportunity for someone to be of service to you. To minister to you. I used to feel bad for everything my family and my husband had to do for me, but now I see it like that. I hope you have understanding people in your life who minister to you. As for this forum, I am so grateful for all of you. I do feel much stronger inside because I know I am not alone. I wish we were not suffering, but this is our opportunity to minister to each other. Take care, Ale -----Original Message----- From: Peggy <anonymous@obgyn.net> To: Multiple recipients of list ENDO <anonymous@obgyn.net> Date: Thursday, September 28, 2000 2:53 PM Subject: Feeling really depressed
