Give me reason to wake up tomorrow?

Question

I have a rare eye disease, I'm going blind. I have 2 bars, 2 hooks and 2 feet of wire holding my back together which has practically disabled me, and my husband left me.

Answer 1

Unfortunatly i can only offer you words... I hope they in some small way are a comfort. I hope I can demonstrate to you that you have an ability to impact someone's life. Your story, I'm sure, is so very difficult. Many of us have been through quite a lot in life, some of us more than once have really believed that life at a time or another really isn't worth living. Me? I just go a day at a time, looking at a picture thats too big only seems to increase depression when it is there.

The reason to keep going? I think you have quite a lot to contribute. People benefit from learning from you. Your words through your question have an effect on me. I haven't ever met you, but you are in my mind. I understand suffering. I understand heart pain. I understand genuine hurt. All of these things, in my own way. I'm very sure that with your versions, the causes are different, but when we as human beings experience the deepest hurts, it is in itself incredibly debilitating to say the least.

The reasons to keep going? People care for you. People who you do not even know, lives you have touched. Lives you will continue to touch, even while you hurt.

I wish I could be of help to you. Frankly, I'm tired of the suffering of this life. I have positive things here to strive for, reasons to push forward. I hope you recognize that you do too. I know my words are worthless, and that they are only typed words from someone who you do not know, and who knows very very little about you... but they are given to you to let you know that you are important, you matter. Your happiness, and your suffering matters to those with a heart, and those with compassion. You can touch lives, and that to me is something very valuable. No matter what, you touch people. I hope you can feel that people care for you, and that knowlege helps, at least a little bit. Your friend in spirit.

Wow...just remember we need you. Not many people have these specific issues..and they r going to need your support in the future. Just keep active on Yahoo answers....keeps you sharp giving others advice like me!
Life has it's ups and downs...like a roller coaster ride.
I get most scared that slow climb UP the hill. Some get scared at the tippy top! Others fall apart as the coaster barrells down the slope w/o brakes! Some can handle those sharp twisty turns etc...But after it's all over....don't u want to get back on??!! So, decide where your seats at on this bumpy ride. Buckle up. Close your eyes if u have to ...ride the front , back, or the middle....but just ride.
Note: give yourself time to grieve for the life you used to have. Then start your new life! Make new dreams! Next stop is the Ferris Wheel !

Answer 3

The reason you should wake up tomorrow is to prevent yourself from never knowing how great things could have been. You never know when the man of your dreams (which was obviously not your husband if he was a jerk enough to leave you), winning the lottery or something else life-changing is just around the corner. I think never knowing would be the worst pain of all. I am sorry that you're going through such hard times right now, but on the bright side, things are pretty much guaranteed to only get better from here. I'll pray for you and wish you much happiness.

Answer 4

The best reason I can give you about why you should wake up tomorrow is because you can meaning you still have fight in you so keep fighting and never give up and if anything I would say just to show your ex husband that your better then that and nothing can beat you not even what your going trough now and don't you want to be able to look him in the face and say look at me now. it's the best revenge it taste sooooo sweet. it's also been know to make a person survive in the face of all sort of odds just to stick there tongue out at the next human being and say na na na na ( smile ) it will get better

Answer 5

Because being depressed for 4 months now I have noticed I feel better when I get up earlier at a set time everyday. Hope this helps, it may take a week to get used to waking up and getting going but its all worth it, set your alarm alittle bit early and rest in bed for awhile then get up. I slept 12 hrs a day with mono and i felt real bad, headache and stuff, its a bad habit to sleep to much or at the wrong times. Just think there are better days to come.

Answer 6

During my depression, I didn't have any reasons.

I just wanted to survive each day. And I would say that line from Reservoir Dogs, "You've been brave enough for one day."

And then I would sleep.

You are in a difficult situation and you do have real reasons for depression. I would say go to a safe place with family and try to heal a little each day. Progress can be very slow... be patient with yourself. Let yourself grieve.

Losing your husband is a hurtful loss....

But in time... days... months... things can change. Maybe not anytime soon... but give yourself the gift of time. You can grow in emotional strength and wisdom through your suffering. You very much so.

Answer 7

Every day is a struggle, it is how we overcome these struggles that makes us who we are. Having the strength to carry on, when everything else is saying "go ahead, quit its okay" is what builds character. Having the strength to push beyond what we think we are able to handle is what gives others the courage to try. Life may not always be easy, but we all have a purpose in life, however none of us were meant to be quitters.

Or as my favorite saying goes: To you it's a six pack, to me it's a support group!

Relax, Even the darkest of nights gives way to the dawn.

Answer 8

Im sure you still have a family that loves you and wants to keep you as long as they can.

You still have a good brain and there should be some way to contribute something here on the internet. Share things you know with someone that needs support or encouragement.

Join a group or start a group. The groups are wonderful.

Answer 9

Things can only go up from where you are right now.
Each day is a gift, not to be taken for granted.
They come up with new cures for disabilities every day.
There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Life is beautiful.

Answer 10

well for starters i'm sure you have family that loves you and want to see you I have a friend who is in a wheel chair and he gets up every morning but sometimes its hard on him. and get up simply to prove to your husband that you are better than that because you are. maybe you should also look into some therapy injurys and illnesses are hard to get through sometimes but you always can. If you ever just need a new friend to talk to email me at [e-mail] we can always find some other stuff to help.
