Grattitude

Had a bunch of fun today went to cat shelter to volunteer, went for a super long walk like 1 h or 1h 30 mins kind of. Hung out with a friend at the cat shelter 🐱 and then went to get some yummy Korean type of food at Krunch Chiken or something it’s called. Then went kayaking with my mom and dad even though they fight a lot lol. It was fun and really peaceful with the beautiful nature, I’m usually not this active at all but then suddenly one bad thought 💭 or one little thing kinda snaps you from all of that, I guess cuz im a little stressed out about all the to do things I need to do these few weeks and trying to get on top of it and not procrastinate etc.

But im trying I guess maybe I feel scared like oh im too happy and not anxious or depressed lately and something bad will happen and take it all away, or it’s too good to be true and soon I’ll be worse again. Idk I guess it’s hard you can’t always be happy or calm and it’s ok to accept sad emotions too it’s a balance of it all.

While sitting in a #Rheumatologist ’s office and being told you are one of the 2% of the population who has #Fibromyalgia isn’t always what you want to hear, I am so incredibly #grateful . I am grateful because #ChronicPain can be a debilitating condition that can take years to be diagnosed yet I was fortunate enough to get answers in less than 3 months.

Not sure how it happened but I was blessed that majority of the health professionals I met recognised and acknowledged the pain I was feeling.

In fact, one of the first things the doctor said to me was that, “Even though there’s no damage to the muscles and joints that we can see, the pain you feel is still real.”

And I know this isn’t always the case for some suffers and receiving a diagnosis can be a very frustrating, repetitive and invalidating process. So, if you do suffer from chronic pain whether you’ve been diagnosed or not, please remember your experience and feelings are real and valid. Don’t loose hope.
