I'm so sorry you're feeling so down, Kitty

Pain does wear you down. Please remember to be kind to yourself and let yourself rest. Are there no organisations that can help you with groceries and things? Or family/friends you could stay with or could stay with you until you're feeling back to yourself- just thinking the company might help. I hope you feel better soon, and that the pain eases.

There a grocery app that I use, they have different grocery stores.

I haven’t ordered groceries for over a week, I wasn’t doing too much, I was WAAAAY BEHIND on buying stuff online, doing my trash, doing my laundry, other stuff too. I wasn’t myself, I had very little energy. I finally ordered groceries yesterday, I didn’t clean them yet, I took the frozen meals out of the boxes & put them in the freezer, I will clean them later. After that I had a meltdown, I wanted to die. I can’t die, my cat needs me.

Big, cozy dragon hugs for you, Kitty. I’m not dealing with pain really, but exhaustion. But I can completely sympathize on the lack of ability to actually really do anything because of an ailment, on top of the restrictions due to COVID-19, and feeling cooped up because of it. I actually look forward to doctor appointments where I’m literally poked and prodded for most of the time and that usually involve some sort of blood draw or injection, because I actually get to get out of the house.

If there was anything I could do to ease your pain or at least make things less hard on you in some way, I’d do it. You really deserve a break (at least) from your pain, I wish there was something I could do about it. All I can do is offer an abundance of virtual hugs and well-wishes, which I do.

Tony Attwood made the point that most of our problems are caused by other people.
I agreed with him, even before I came across his comment.

Kitty, I am so sorry you are feeling down. I broke my ankle 18 months ago and still have pains and weird sensations in my foot and leg. There is tingling and also the foot gets numb and feels cold when nothing else is cold. I don't tell you this to be "poor me" but to let you know it takes a long time for some things to heal. The bone heals easily but other things, tendons, connective tissue, nerves, etc. take much longer.

I have periods when I get "depressed" or down. This is my take on it, when the "depression" is due to a concrete thing, like not being able to walk without pain, or having to stay indoors and alone for months at a time; I think these feelings are the normal result of a concrete problem that is bothering me. What works for me is to rest, rest, rest and not beat myself up for the resting part.

None of this may be particularly helpful for you. I offer it in case you can find comfort in it. If not, let it go.

(((Kitty)))

I am holding you in the Light.

When I broke my ankle, I was in the hospital then went to healthcare center, I was away from my cat for 6 weeks, I was learning to walk on my other leg, I damaged it, I also have Cerebral Pasly.

I’m glad you at least have your cat to keep you going. Pets are so good for us. If I recall correctly, it’s been proven that simply petting an animal reduces heart rate and stress levels. So there’s an excuse to pet your cat more

(unless she (or he, if I’m not remembering correctly) isn’t really into petting and would rather have some playtime, like my cat, I’m sure some playtime would also be de-stressing for both of you)

I'm so sorry you're going through this pain, Kitty. Giving you a virtual hug and please give your cat a hug from us her on WP.

Your cat is fortunate to have such a wonderful human! :heart:

Is the pain constant, or do you get some relief?
I imagine the pain is worse at night?

i find it important to get out in fresh air, so on the days when i am gimping, i just tightly wrap an ace bandage around my ankles or knees and make myself get out there even if it is just for a block.

My pain comes & go, I get more pain at night, I have bad arthritis in my shoulder & the side of my hand, my back can hurt too.
