The next time I suggest going on a 13km hike, someone smack me... My knees were kiling me by the time I got back to my truck... today it's my calves... I could barely walk down the hallway when I got up.

8 miles in a touch over 3hrs (due to breaks), with a 20lbs pack... great with a partial acl tear....

Overall though, considering how friday went, saturday and sunday both went in my chart as level.

@ladylazarus1971

Until I get back into a gym again, have to do something more than work for exercise... I only cover about 5km most days, and even though today's first trip was a 100lbs spool of hose I don't get those all day.

No point in taking it easy on my body, right? :p

@Phoenix84 Speaking (writing?) as someone who blew just about every joint while old school bartending, I say "take it easy!" on those joints as you age. They don't bounce back after childhood!

@ladylazarus1971

Spent the last 20yrs breaking my body...

Bone chips in both shoulders, seperated right shoulder (AC, class 2), 5 cracked ribs, destroyed both knees (partial acl on right, left is a wrestling injury from '00), TFCC tear on left wrist, carpal on right, rolled both ankles too many times to count in track, no idea how many concussions, and I have the usual IT neck issues....

Still all original parts other than lens replacements in '10.

I feel 80 some days when I get up, it's a question of what doesn't hurt that day. But if I didn't do something because of pain, I'd never do anything.

@PigfaceMcGee513 Sometimes the hardest thing we face is taking those first steps out of bed in the morning. I have been having trouble with that myself. I am glad today seems to be shaping up as a positive one for you. Hope it stays good!

@june27th The kind of bored where, no matter what you do, you can't find anything of interest although you wish you could focus on something to entertain or occupy you? Or a different kind of bored?

@ladylazarus1971 in that time yes, now is a felling of nothing, empty, you know? Maybe it's the new meds. I do yoga or meditate to fight it

I feel lost. Today I feel numb mostly and unable to find my inner strength to move forward with my life. I feel like I really hate myself because of my situation. I hate that I have to make a very difficult decision that could disrupt my son's view on life and our family. I hate that I have to break someone's heart to move forward and I dont know which path to take.

I have been with my husband 6 years. 3 married. We have a 4 year old son. I am not happily married as my husband is controlling, manipulative and tends to abuse me mentally. Though he would do anything for me. On the other hand I am in love with a guy I work with whom is madly in love with me. I dont know what to do and I hate that this is so difficult for me.

Honestly, very broken. I'm falling apart. My life has turned around and has been terrible.

- Helpless to my own mood swings and the actions that coincide with them

- Hopeless that there is anything anyone can do for me

- Tired of this crazy world

- Relief that there are methods for a peaceful end

How is everyone feeling today? We haven't been checking in as much. I think maybe we keep ourselves and our moods accountable when we talk about how we are doing "out loud."

I am feeling tired, but moodwise, mostly okay. Neither great nor bad.
