What’s a gift you’d appreciate receiving if your illness often keeps you at home or in bed?

Whether it’s for a holiday, birthday, special occasion, or just because, a thoughtful gift can go a long way in lifting your mood—especially when health conditions keep you home or in bed. Sometimes, loved ones want to show they care but aren’t sure what would be most helpful or meaningful, and may need a little guidance or inspiration.

What’s a gift you’d truly appreciate?

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is badbackbed. I'm here because I've suffered with chronic back pain since 1993, have had 4 discectomies and 2 spinal fusions and endless cortisone injections and epidurals injections. Just interested to see if there are others in here who also suffer with back pain.

Tip Tuesday - Learning to Stop Letting Your Thoughts Control You

This is a very hard lesson, I know. But so often, our thoughts rule us and make our mental health worse. Learning how to let go negative emotions is SO hard but SO worth it.

One simply way to start would be to "catch" or write down all of your negative thoughts for 24 hours. See where the patterns are, and which thoughts cause the most emotional pain.

Than you can try to stop them when you're thinking them and re frame it.

Let us know if you're willing to try this- or if it's something you've been working on!

Tip Tuesday- The Truth Behind Venting

Oftentimes, we vent because we think it'll make us feel better. But have you ever stopped to notice how you actually feel after the vent session is over?
Now, this does not mean you shouldn't vent or share problems with a trusted person who can help you problem solve or listen. I just wanted to share a helpful tip I learned in therapy. Since I stopped "venting" as much, my emotional reactions are better and I'm not as upset as often. I hope it helps you today. 🙂

Constant pain when nothing helps

Hi, my name is Mattp77. I'm here because I've spent the last few years living with chronic back pain after an injury, and I know how isolating it can feel when nothing seems to help.

I went through the full cycle — prescription pills, countless creams, cortisone injections. Some things helped briefly. Nothing lasted. The hardest part wasn't even the pain itself, it was losing faith that anything real existed.

I eventually started researching natural compounds and found something that genuinely changed things for me. Now I want to connect with others who understand this journey — because nobody should have to figure it out alone.

Looking forward to being part of this community. 🙏
