Her troubles are mine too...

The love of my life Lynn, suffers from Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression and Fibromyalgia. If all that wasn't enough she also has a nightmare job. Not ever wanting to sound selfish or self absorbed but at times our relationship can be trying at the very least. If only she could be healthy, whole and well, for this I would give ANYTHING!

When it gets to be too much I throw myself into researching on the internet and shut the world out. I can at times act very cold towards her, but in my heart of heart I want nothing but the best for her as well. I can only advise those in a similar situation to see and feel things from someone elses perspective before making rash and irrational decisions, keeping in mind there is a light at the end of the tunnel, there has to be!

For those who don't fully understand what Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression and Fibromyalgia feel like. Try going to sleep but don't actually sleep and do this for thirteen years. When you do get up in the morning strap fifty pound weights to your legs then set yourself on fire from head to toe. Doesn't sound the least bit pleasant now does it? How anyone could do this for as long as she has without drinking, doing drugs or committing suicide it beyond me. I know I couldn't even begin to imagine what she goes through on a daily basis and yet at times it really makes me angry. I know that sounds horrible but even the best of us would surely let it get to them at some point. I love her with all my heart and have no intention of leaving her side. She is my Baby and that will remain true until we both part this earth...
