To feel sorry for myself

Dh had a big birthday last week. Today he’s gone out with all our friends to celebrate. I can’t go as I have chronic pain . I’ve been in severe pain for 4 months and have had pain for more than two years. I’m on strong opiates, off sick from work and struggle to be out of bed for more than a few hours. My life has got very small. I know it will get better and it takes time and that’s there’s people a lot worse off then me but today I just want to be able to go out and have fun. I feel like I’m 80 years old.

I’m so sorry. It must really hit home on days like these.

try to do something nice for yourself, I know it’s not the same but maybe it will help

I'm so sorry you're in pain and feeling down, I can see how hard that must be for you given the timing of your husband's birthday and day out.
Treat yourself with kindness OP, you've really been going through it💐

I try to stay positive because it’s better for your body but today it’s got me down. One of dh pressies was tickets to our favourite band I can’t see me being able to go as it’s on a couple months
