I wasn't sure which thread to post this in, but I suppose the PAIN would be what leaves us feeling most helpless!
I was reading a really good friend's blog this morning and here's what she wrote, I'm pretty sure she was referring to ME, since I've had a rough few months with the pain and doctors:
I have learned that people often create their own drama. They create their own victim-hood and thrive on being a victim.
I read this, and it made me cry. Do I really come off as an attention needy *victim*? Is THIS how my friends SEE me? It really hurts that they do.
Is it THAT hard for people that live lives without chronic pain to understand those of us that wake up every morning to it?
My question to you all is, DO you feel like a *victim* to the pain? If so, why? And do you loved ones feel your PAIN causes drama??
I really don't know how to take this, part of me is hurt, but I don't want to seem like a helpless victim to everyone. But then again, its HARD when my fate and well being often is totally controlled by DOCTORS.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated,
Love,
Kara
