Hello friends. I have a challenge. I am always so tired and lack the strength/motivation to get things done. If at all you have gone through the same, what have you done to better the situation?
Today, hasn’t been an easy day. I woke up feeling extremely fatigued, bloated, and had joint aches. I lost my vision upon standing up and continued to lose it throughout the day. It was cloudy and rainy and my heart hurt because I was once again facing the sadness of being sick. After shaming my body for several hours about the way it looked and deals with pain, I stopped and looked in the mirror. I wasted an entire day being ashamed of my body. Not only did I tell myself negative messages but I let myself believe that somehow it was my fault I was in the position I was in. That’s ridiculous. I want to smile, I want to lift up my head high and say guess what world I’m still standing and you can’t knock me down. That’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m proud of my body for shouldering the pain and struggles of my Dysautonomia. I’m proud of my body for surviving on lack of sleep, new medications, and adapting to constant change. I have worked so hard to tell the world I’m not sick that I have put the anxiety and pressure of being “normal” on an overburdened body. That ends now. My body is strong, my body is beautiful, and my body can handle anything life has to throw at it. #Dysautonomia #ChronicIllness #strength #fightingfatigue #newday
I try so hard to get the eight hours of suggested sleep but it doesn't matter what I do no matter what I wake up even more exhausted. My trauma just brings night terrors and it's like my brain never gets rested. All I want is one day of feeling like I actually slept and not carrying the exhaustion from the past few weeks. #CheckInWithMe #fightingfatigue #PTSDSupportAndRecovery
