Is it a bad thing to laugh?

So, is it so terrible to laugh when you are sick? I don't think so. I am involved in another website and one of the posters (name with-held) told me I was too perky blah blah blah. Shall I roll over and just die? NO. If the mood strikes me, I laugh. I want to laugh more. I do not want to always be in pain and down in the dumps. I do not want to feel sorry for myself..

If the truth be told, I feel like crap most of the time. My stomach is a mess these days. I deal with a lot of anxiety. I am tired so much. Never knowing if it is my sleep apnea, chronic fatigue, diabetes, hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia that is causing the fatigue. This is frustrating - VERY FRUSTRATING. I wish people understood where I am coming from.

My legs feel like I have 50-75 lb weights attached to them. Dragging me down - I still pick myself up and go somehow. I have NO idea where I get the energy or drive. I just know I do not want to GIVE IN to this junk. I try so hard to stay afloat.

I wish my life were different. I am starting to look older and it drives me crazy. I want to look nice for my husband. I care how I look. I prided myself on my looks in the past. I always looked pretty good. I found a wonderful man in 1985 and married him. He is 8 yrs younger than me. Again, I am looking pretty tattered these days but I do not have that stamina, I just don't. I cry, BUT I still find time to laugh in the midst of my crazy life today.
