    Having people that listen and respect us is so helpful and encouraging, so much better than having people who judge, or try to fix us!

    I am blessed to have people in my life that are there for me, sometimes just listening and asking what they can do for me, telling me that I’m not alone, letting me know they’ll be there for me, and they love me … but what can really help us feel better about ourselves is when they just say they’re proud of us. Wonderful people in our lives can regularly remind us about everything we’re going through and how amazingly well we are handling ourselves. They can acknowledge us for what we ARE doing even when we can only see and judge ourselves for the things we’re NOT doing. Sometimes they can be there just to listen to us, sometimes they can help us get our minds off all we’re going through by lightening up the conversation and not allow us to get caught in a loop of feeling sorry for ourselves.

    But we definitely can’t do this alone, things can appear insurmountable or overwhelming but if we’re lucky we have people who believe in us and are there for us when we just need them to listen and let us get our fears out in the open and talk about our pain. People can help us if they just say they feel for us and wish they could make us feel better. What I don’t think they realize is that by simply being there to walk by our side they ARE making us feel better!

    You can expand your network of support by getting up the courage and then tell people that are close to you (that don’t already know) what you are dealing with, sharing what is really happening and what you are going through and then tell them how they can help. I have found most people want to help and if they decline I try not to take it personally. It’s worth the risk to get crucial support

    What are you grateful for? What can you be thankful for to keep you holding on during tough times?

    Please let's all share our blessings in life that we are thankful for. In
    dark and trying times (like right now), I try to always remember the things I am grateful for and remind myself that without any/all of them my life could be much less manageable

    I am grateful for:

    -Being alive!
    -Being able to walk, even if I need mobility devices
    -Having a roof over my head
    -Having food on the table
    -Having great doctors, nurses, my therapist, my shrink, numerous specialists and my clinic - and having the insurance to pay for them - as well as insurance to pay for my many medications!
    -Having a strong network of family and friends and always being able to know that I am loved and supported ...and
    -Having my relative health - things could always be worse!

    What are you thankful for?

    Maybe thank someone who you are grateful for and let them know how helpful they are and how much it means to you to have their support. Sometimes people don’t know how much they impact other’s lives!

    Todays pain.

    #CRPS ...I actually had a great morning. Sun was out, arm felt pretty good, pain was low (for me that is!), and hubby is home! Around 2:30...it all went to hell. Not unexpected because I'm dealing with 2 newish things. 1. Occipital headaches on left side. Doing PT and scheduled to try trigger point injections. Very hopeful. 2. Mr crps wrist,right of course, will no liner lay flat when i put hand flat. Feels like its twisting. Ortho won't see me...great. pain doc and I communicated and referred me to my primary with a scan on it to be done. I have primary appointment in a week. I'm thinking its time for rhuematologist???? The fear of losing total use of wrist is overwhelming. Yes, i am aware it could happen. I have been working hard on keeping the arm lose and flexible. I know I am losing that battle. Then I picked up something kitty knocked over..not smart as it was heavier than I can handle. Now the pain is over top, headache kicked with pain. I'm curled up in my cocoon of blankets trying to be warm. Nightly ritual. I'm overwhelmed, hurting and tired. Too much to think about. Know tomorrow will be better...here's hoping. Thanks for listening/reading. Needed a safe place to spill this out. God love ya all!

    There’s just so many things wrong with this damn planet. My mind decides to go through all the bullshit and how I think about it/respond to it nearly every morning and nearly every afternoon, and it’s driving me crazy.

    Most folk drive me crazy. I believe that most folk are terrible, ignorant, gatekeepers, hyprocrites when they say that they support others, hypocrites when they say that others can be themselves, and find anything they don’t see in their eye “normal” a stigma, weird, a disorder, or “cringe” (I despise that word especially), and no one can convince me otherwise because I can’t trust most folk because of what I’ve witnessed… I’m sorry.

    It’s causing me a headache now which I didn’t fucking ask for. Oh well.

    Intro

    Skipped doing an intro the other day. 'Bout 7 years ago I got sick like the flu or pneumonia. I had this cough that wouldn't go away. I was working in a temple and the incense made me cough incessantly. Have a hard time beathing enough to do anything. Get really bad headaches all of a sudden. Intestines feel inflamed all the time.

    Lost my job. Wife threw me out. Doctors I've been to can't help. One said said get a job and lose weight coz being immobile and in pain for a year caused some weight gain.

    Got an appointment with a neuro-psych next month

    Getting checked out for adhd and depression and traumatic brain injury.

    Kind of wonder if anyone with a tbi experienced food allergies after. Mine are so bad I can't even go out to eat anymore or even buy most things from the store.

    Meal planning is overwhelming with depression and what i think is adhd and chronic pain. Sometimes I don't eat for weeks because I don't have the energy to cook.

    I'm afraid to go out of the house much in case I get a headache or incase I encounter a smell that triggers my cough and breathing problems. I've got incontinence problems too. I've had leakage from the backside happen at the store suddenly and I have problems with urinary urgency and frequency I think were caused by a car wreck I was in. I think absorbent underwear would help me get but it's kind of embarrassing.

    I feel really tired and in pain all the time. It's been like this for years and I don't know how to make it better and people just assume i'm faking it and everything is okay and I'm just lazy and need to try harder.

    I really hope this diagnosis comes through next month and I can start feeling better. I'm living with my parents now but they're aging and I don't want to end up in a nursing home in my 40's.

    Anyway, don't know what else to say. Nice to meet you all.
