#Highpain

Today is a #highpaindays type of day.
The “regular” chronic pain, anxiety & depression are there. But the pain from the badly/complexly torn hip labrum and herniated lower disks is truly immense.
#Nomorespoons do I have for anyone or anything... Can’t even use my “espresso spoon” to play #TheSims4 !! Sigh.
Even the shirt I got for Christmas “Soon to Be Mrs.” in its vibrant colour isn’t enough to make me feel better.
So to all of you out there feeling like this: I am with you and #itwillgetbetter

Sometimes it be like that...

After a week of high pain, including a trip to the ER for some relief, my depression and anxiety are at an all time high. The household chores are always the first thing to get scrapped. I don’t have the energy to vacuum. My back hurts too much to stand at the sink or reach to the top cabinets to put dishes away. So it sits, and piles up, until it overflows like tonight. Sometimes it be like that, and that’s okay. #EndTheStigma #Depression #highpaindays #Anxiety #ChronicPain

CHRONIC ILLNESS AND FLARE UPS

My IBS is the worst thing in my life right now, I'm having a really really bad flare up & this week my doctors have taken me off my IBS meds for a few weeks to test me for something else 😖my bowels in extreme pain right now & I feel so sick and can't sleep till 7am every morning. Living with chronic illness is so fucking hard and I wish people could understand the pain we go through everyday and especially on flare up days. Its not our fault we are sick, chronic illness chose us not us choosing it. If your a chronic illness warrior stay strong♥️. This is the most excruciating pain I've had with my IBS in months! I'm in so much pain I broke down in tears today. I always take my meds for granted because without them my IBS has such bad flare ups & I'm stuck in bed unable to move or eat anything with a belly the size of a 🎈. #IrritableBowelSyndromeIBS #ChronicIllness #FlareUps #highpaindays

Stuck on making business cards when I should be sleeping... #Whyamilikethis #highpaindays #creativetherapy

I’m so much more creative at night.. it’s when I feel like I do my best thinking or at least feel good thinking.. I just wish i could figure out a way to let myself express myself the same way during the day that’d be great

Exasperated and so hurt #Migraine #highpaindays #Needahelpinghand #Returnfavors #Bekind

Why is it that when anyone needs anything I’ve always been the first one there? I’ve sacrificed and done without to give to others. But when I need help? When I ask for a favor? Not a sole can be there, especially the ones I’ve helped the most. It makes me want to not help people anymore. And I know we aren’t supposed to help others to get back, but it sure would be nice to get back just once in awhile. I need a ride to get a migraine pain shot and am not comfortable taking Uber because I’ll be incapacitated. I tried Friday to get someone to take me, no takers. Well, my neighbor said she would but she flaked. I’m trying to go tomorrow but so far nobody. I even tried to go to the ER over the weekend to no avail. Rant over, sorry for complaining. I’m just feeling sorry for myself. 😭
