Tales From the Dark Side

Have I Given Up?

I feel like I have reached the end of my tolerance.  I can't handle the pain anymore.  All I want to do is curl up in my bedroom with the curtains closed and hide in the dark... and cry. 
I've had enough.
I don't wnat o do this anymore.
I don't want to feel like my head is in a vice.  
I hate the stabbing needle shooting pain through my skull.  
It keeps happening, all the time... literally for years now, and I am done.
Despondent, and beaten down.

No.  I am not suicidal.  I am not going to do anything stupid, permanent or unforgiveable.
I know because I want to have my life back.
I want to go to work, and go to lunches with friends.  I want to go visit family and stay for more than 3 hours without needing to hide from the pain.  I want to get int he car and drive to see my dad, or my neices and nephews... because I haven't actually spent time with them in years... my nephew doesn't know who I am.  

I want MY LIFE BACK!
the pain has beaten me to a pulp this week...

I am terrified that the botox  won't work, that May 7th will just be a waste of time and money.  and I won't get to be me ever again.

i don't know how to fight the pain anymore. My brain won't cognate the pain.

resentful and bitter... not a good combination

Have I ever mentioned that I am tired of saying the same thing over and over.  that the whole point of being able to say something is to institute change - either by your own actions or with the help of someone else?  I don't actually know if this is true, but I would like it to be.  

I would like the person to whom I am "married" to answer a text, or even a direct question.  I would like him to acknowledge my day and my mood.  I would like him to open up about his fears, worries and concerns... also his dreams and desires.
I would like him to stop ignoring me.
I would also like him to start parenting his children.

I don't want to live in a house with lazy teenagers.  I don't want to be the maid.  I am supposed to be looking after my self and taking all the steps I medically need to in order to get rid of this fucking migraine.  I am supposed to be exercising and losing weight.  I can do that on my own, but I am not on my own, and I am the only one who cares about me.  
I am PMSing like crazy - the mood swing for the week before my period is frightening.  The anger is predominant in my dreams, I awake and the feelings remain.  My frustration is apparent in my day to day life and attitude.  I want to be left to my own devices, not have to look after ungrateful asshats.

I am becoming resentful.
I am so angry and bitter.

I can't buy groceries but B can "refuse" to participate in therapy, and get brand new ADIDAS, and parts for his fucking dirt bike in the same week.
I need a haircut, and can't get one because i don't have any money... I had to borrow some so my mortgage doesn't bounce this month.  This stress is driving me crazy.

My frustration cuts so deep I want to leave.  his children are his priority, and they should be, but I don't want to be a bystander in the same house. I don't want to count down the  months/days until I can kick him out.  I don't want to live that way.  There are so many things that seem wrong with this scenario and I am tired.
Of everything.

I can't fight my own demons,  and be expected to look after other people.  
When does it get easier? When will I get better?
