Have you ever felt soo helpless,

I had surgery yesterday, so I felt pretty helpless this morning too. I couldn't stand up because I had surgery on my knee. It hurt to move. Just going to the bathroom is very difficult. I think that everyone has felt helpless before in their life; probably multiple time. You just have to remember that it could always be worse and you just got to keep believing in yourself and never give up. Only when you give up are you truly helpless.

Hope you'll be okay in a few hours. I guess I'm lucky to not have experienced that kind of helplessness. I have been helpless a couple of times, but nothing close to yours. It's more about petty things like grades in math and other technical "computing" subjects. Good for you that your hubby's there for you. Why do you have to wait until tomorrow to visit the doctor?

Yes, I have felt helpless many times. You were blessed to have had your hubby's support, that makes such a hugh difference. My most helpless feeling moments are linked to my children too--like where their next meal was coming from--ugh! I had a tough time raising them on my own and experienced so of the most helpless feeling moments of my life when they were dependent on me for everything. The good thing about those moments is that they too did pass. Chin up and grab the bengay!

that was really nice of your husband,i have'nt felt that way for a while now,thankfully,but the other morning i was in pain everytime i moved,so i laid in bed for half hour or so until the pain subsided a bit

Sorry to be so ignorant but what is the pain you are suffering from? I do feel for you, whatever your pain may have been. It is great that you have an understanding, caring husband who is definitely needed in times like these. I hope you feel better soon.

That is a provisional situation .You will better .

I admire your will power to get up from bed and attend to the needs of your family.You are blessed to have a loving husband. I remember how my husband took care of me when I got sick.

Your husband sounds like a very sweet, concerned man and you're lucky to have such a one. I've occasionally had back pain so bad that I had to crawl rather than walk. It's a horrible feeling and kind of panicy because I knew I could rely on no one but myself and I had to take care of my babies. I managed but it was awful. My husband had already left for work. I hope you don't have many days like that, it's an awful feeling.

Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I hope you feel better soon. I have felt helpless like that before. I get migraines and that will put me out of commission until I can get rid of it. There is nothing I can do when I have a bad migraine. I can't stand, I can't make meals, I can't clean the house. I can barely even get up to go to the bathroom because, when it is that bad, not only does the slightest movement hurt my head but I also feel nauseous when I do anything but lay down. Even laying down hurts because it moves my blood to my head faster and easier. Sounds and light bother me when I have a migraine so everything has to be quiet and dark. My husband tries to do whatever he can to help me but there really isn't anything he can do for me. He will offer me food and something to drink but, I am never hungry or thirsty when I have a migraine. Migraines definitely make me feel totally and completely helpless.

Bless your heart, what was wrong? I'm glad your husband was there to help you out. I hope your feeling better today...take care.

hi jj, were you in pain because of the surgery or is reynauds causing those pains for you? i have initially read the meaning of the disease but not its symptoms. guess u can explain it better because u are experiencing it. i only know it is something that has to do with the arteries. ann

When my daughter was two years old, I was involved in an accident at work that badly messed up my back. As a result of this I was placed on restrictions that meant I wasn't even able to pick her up for several months because I couldn't lift more than ten pounds. This was extremely difficult for me because of the fact that she needed me for things that I wasn't able to do for her. I've never been so happy in my entire life as when my back started to heal.

Hi jugs. Hope you're feeling a bit better by now. Not totally helpless as far as I can remember. But 2 winters ago I slipped on the driveway and hit my head. I've already taken out the car and ran back in to get something from the house. As I ran back to the car, I slipped and hit my head pretty hard. I didn't go to the hospital or anything because I was on my way to drive the kids to some party. Anyway, after the fall, I felt really loopy. And I decided I couldn't drive safely. For about half a day after that I felt really helpless. And guilty for not being able to drive the kids to the party.

HUGS TO YOU, JUGSJUGS! I know the feeling. My back doesn't let me stay upright for very long, either. How old are your children? Maybe they could do more on their own or even help you? Sometimes we just have to let others do for us and let them enjoy the blessings of service. I rely a lot on my daughter and some have criticized me for it but I believe that she is stronger and even more mature and a better person for it. I suffer from arthritis complicated by fibromyalgia and am in pain on a daily basis. I know the frustration because I want to be able to do more around the house and not rely so much on others. The doctors have offered me no hope and tell me I just need to learn to "manage" my pain. I feel for you, my friend, and pray for you. HUGS!

Sweet hubby ya got ther. and it is a battle to get going when you are in pain hope everything is getting better for you now!

I hae had days like that, thank goodness they were over before my children had to go to school. I found a good Doctor who helped me get my body better. For many years I was very careful but since I do Yoga now three times a week I am much stronger.

Hello jugsjugs, You have a good hubby and took care of the things that you were supposed to do. since you are sick i believe it's better to take a break and rest for that day. as for the meantime am sure you're hubby will take care of you today. it's natural to feel helpless when you are indeed tired or sick. sometimes people even feel helpless even if when they're not sick, probably a lot worse

Yes many time i felt helpless. Once when i first join my medical college. It was new place because i stay not different country. No body was with me. The food was totally different. Once i felt so hungry but couldn't eat the food as it was new that time i felt so helpless and remember my family.

Man is created in this way that it is a bit hard to be able to cope with everything.That is why I sometimes feel helpless even several times a day.But what is your problem?Why do you feel like that?What is that pain and what causes it?Today I felt horrible because my stomach is not ok .

I feel very helpless last year when i underwent abortion....it was really depressing but my husband told me that it was according to the wish of God and he knows what is better for us. may be the child was not viable so be positive but above all consolations I felt depressed and helpless...
