I managed to make one phone call. The person I called is out on leave.

Making that one useless phone call seems to be all i can do today.

i need help.

I don't honestly know if there's anything you can do. Making phone calls isn't something I can do with an audience, and at the moment I'm not sure who to call.

between panic and denial

perhaps you both could go to a relaxing place to brainstorm a list... and then Daisy could step outside for 15 minutes while a call is made and come back in for emotional support?

a friend was having similar motivation troubles once and i told her to make a list of three things she could do the next day and keep it on her person all night and the next day and do something nice (and simple) for herself at the end of the day. she did 1 or 2 of the things on her list and it was an important improvement. :)

i don't think it's useless

I think it's great that you did anything. It's agonizing to overcome the inertia. Anything you do to resist those feelings of helplessness matters in and of itself, and matters a great deal.

take it one day at a time . . .

give yourself credit for having made that call . . .

if you need to,

have one your real world friends take you to the ER,

maybe sometime in a hospital would help now . . .

i want you to be okay . . .

keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending flocks of angels . . .

Take care,

Bear

Frankly, all the ER would do is take my money. There is nothing a hospital can do for fibromyalgia, and they certainly aren't going to give me the money I need to keep from being evicted, or sign the paper I need signed to get food stamps.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

If there is anything we can do...

Thanks for the thought. I just don't know what anyone can do right now.

Come to think of it...

You could send chocolate! Mmm... dark chocolate. Or winning lottery tickets. I'd suggest cute cabana boys as well, but I'm pretty sure the landlord would kick us all out then. Rats.

We got the cabana boy!!! It was no easy feat, but it was a piece of cake compared to trying to fit him into the envelope...

Oh, the poor cabana boy! Now the landlord will kick me out for sure. D'you suppose the boy could help keep me warm on these cold nights?

Gah. It's so frustrating, the state government won't give me money unless I find somebody *else* to give me money, and if I knew other people who would give me that much money why would I be applying for this stuff in the first place? Maybe I'd be better off if I *were* evicted--then they'd give me money and the cabana boy could keep me company.
