Just because someone is smiling doesn't mean they're FINE .Just because someone you see that is unwell or has been dealing with any physical or mental health issues is smiling doesn't meant they're BETTER .It doesn't mean they're OK now or that they're not in pain .Usually alot of the time it's because they are used to dealing with their struggles and pain and are just trying to put on a smile and get on with it .You never know how much someone is really struggling so don't judge them .Don't just assume or make comments to them about their health being better or because they don't look sick if they're smiling or have managed to get dressed or go out .You've no idea how much it's taken them to even do that ....
And you never know just how much someone need syour kindness today ♥️

BE KIND ♡
YOU MATTER ♡
LOVE YOURSELF ♡

😂😂😂 this is definitely the reality when suffering with chronic pain , anxiety ,depression ,fatigue ,physical pain or just mentally struggling.
When you feel like you need a rest after just taking a shower because your so drained .....

It's the little things that seem so simple to others that can really take so much working upto actually doing & then struggling so much after doing it .

So tomorrow is the little ones last day at school before the 7/8 weeks summer break.
I had been hoping g that I'd have had some sort of surgery or treatment by now before this instead doff just being left like this for nearly 4 months now.I am feeling so anxious about trying to be mummy everyday over the break ,making it fun for them ,keeping them occupied and busy and making memories while mostly being housebound.If it's nice we can spend time in the garden and do things ther ebut even that I know I will struggle with ,so on the rubbish weather days when we're estuck at home while I'm in constant pain I am stressing about how I can make it fun for them ,be mummy , not ruin their break because I am in agony and supposed to be on bed rest !! I feel frustrated that I have been left like this and still waiting on appointments regarding teats and if can get the surgery etc. I go in next Wednesday for biopsies ,two for cysts they found on my thyroids so I'll have stitches and stuff too and probably not be feeling the greatest. So my anxiety is just so bad ,feeling so guilty that compare dto last year I can't do the things I always did with them plan trips,days away, swimming,fun activities etc as even doing simple things at home are such a struggle pain wise and then totally drain me ......
Really trying to think of lots of little ideas to do with them to make memories and make it as fun as I can for them but I am really stressing over it .
While also trying to make sure i have little moments of self care for myself to help with my anxiety & to try take those moments to do things for me to just recharge myself so i dont end up completely burntout.Having chronic pain ontop of other health issues while trying to be the old me and best mummy I can now is definitely challenging 😭😭😭

I have so many health issues and symptoms going on at the moment I don't know whether I'm coming or going !!! I have had Meds increased and also on new medication and trying to take some vitamins on top too to try help with some symptoms and issues .

I feel like I am a million different versions of myself daily as if it's not one symptom playing up it's another and at this point I feel like I've lost all control & awareness of it all some days .......

I am really struggling with getting used to the NEW me ! The reality if chronic pain & illness & struggling with the fact I am no longer rthe person I was before. I am no longer able to make plans in advance as I really do not know which way I will be when I wake up.Between the constant pain ,the fatigue,anxiety,restlessness,feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and trying to just get through a day it's just impossible. I no longer put pressure on myself for being unable to do this or feel guilty as I have enough going on without constantly putting myself down over things I CANT control.I am struggling at times though feeling frustrated that when I do things even someday just walking around the house or garden a little more I make my pain so much worse and with having this infection now over 3 months someday walking is just unbearable!!

I am struggling but I will keep trying and trying to be kind to myself and proud of myself if all I did was make it through another day 👌😊

So 12 weeks of having long term catheter, 11 weeks of having an infection which is now kidney infection, being in pain every single day and even walking is so sore and ends up making more issues with the Catheter either causing it to block,retain ,bleeding ,and just absolutely so painful!! Being told to just take morphene every 2 hours daily on top of 8 other medications, while being in pain everyday ,struggling even with walking all daily tasks ,its crazy to have to need this medication to just try and get through a day .I am so mentally & physically drained with it all my urgent app to discuss about catheter isn't until mid June so have to deal with this for like another 3/4 weeks 😭🙈

I feel like all I do is complain and I'm totally loosing all positivity and strength I had !!

A year ago I was away with friends and ended up going out into the water even though didn't exactly have the swimwear !!too and shorts done it , I loved being able to do things like this and that's really what I miss justnow being able to go away for days go big walks ,go running , just getting away and enjoying the peace and surroundings ! Hopefully once all the catheter issues are sorted I'll be able to do things like this again!

Well today I play the computer with little ones ,played some games,made cakes, watched a movie then I managed to move all my living room about which I've been wanting to do for ages.im suffering now for it pain wise as I still have this infection (11weeks now) and it did take alot our of me but I feel so much better getting all that done ,and spending time having fun with the little ones especially as I really struggle most days to do anything.
So the pain now was definitely worth it seeing their little faces instead of them popping and out to see me while im stuck in bed !

So here's hoping this week is a better week ♥️😊
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and is OK 😊

Regardless of all those simple minded comments we hear .... oh but you don't look sick , aww get over it , you're still sick ?? You always cancel , what's wrong now ? , it's in your head ,it could be worse , think yourself lucky compared to others , another migraine ??

I'm sure we hear these and plenty more numerous times !! But just remember it's NOT in your head , Your feeling ARE valid , ITS OK to say no or cancel if you can't do it .ITS OK to put you first , ITS OK to not be OK.

You don't have to explain yourself &your struggles.If you are struggling &having a bad day remember that's OK too & you are not alone ❤️
YOU MATTER
YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID
ITS OK TO PUT YOU FIRST
