Hi, I'm new, just posted a brief run down of my situation in the intro thread.
I am having a really rough time at the moment. My very first flare since getting my arthritis under control has made everything worse than it has ever been before.
I can't get my head around the fact that this might keep happening to me. I think I'm in a bit of a "why me?" phase and it just feels like it's all a bit much.
I'm sure that everyone with arthritis goes through this to some extent, feeling overwhelmed by it all. I watch people all around me moving around and doing things that I know will hurt me so much and I just feel so sad. I don't know anyone else who is going through this and I think it is hard for others to understand just how hopeless you can feel.
For those of you with a long standing diagnosis, what has helped you come to terms with the disease (even if you've only come to terms with it on the good days!)?
I hate to wallow in this but I'm just..... sad.
