Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Depression

I fully understand. Im in the middle of moving and it is taking so much longer because im exhausted and in pain. I havent been diagnosed with depression i feel depressed though.

This is not the life I saw myself having at 49.. ❤️ Try not to feel to down or beat yourself up. Do what you can when you can and allow your body to tell you what it needs. Don't let no body make you feel any type away about your illnesses. ❤️

I sleep late every morning. About 11:30am. I go to bed late. I also don't sleep well because of pain. I am not good the next day after running errands the day before. I also live on a third floor of a 6 apt bldg. Without a dishwasher. It doesn't help my symptoms.

i feel that!! during the college year i wanna go out and ace all my classes while also being able to go to clubs/party/etc but sometimes it just seems like so much
