We all have these times in our lives. Many are no doubt in this same place right now too.

I was there for almost 2 decades. Not including the 13 years I suffered in pain, alone before. I found peace in my religion as I purposely put one foot in front of the other, often not literally as my body quit on me in ways no doctor understood.

Finally a two months ago I got a rheumatologist who understood and was intelligent and not just guessing. And he wasn't going to give up like the rest of them. And then I finally got a pain doctor who wasn't terrified of medicine and at long last I got the REAL dose I needed. It has been such a long time coming!

So trust that life has things in store that others say will never happen. Trust! Have faith! Dare to dream and hope!
Become the exception, someone who doesn't settle and fight on for that happiness!

When I first found this forum I posted about how I was in so much pain I wanted to die. And in a response from a friend, one who I looked up to and still do, he said: what if tomorrow they come up with a treatment or cure for your condition?? Wouldn't you wish you held on until then?

Life is better when we hope. We live better when we hope!
Don't settle dear Mighty friends. Things will improve, you just have to give time, time.

In the scriptures there is a story of a man who suffers unable to walk for 38years. And then Christ heals him.
I can't help but think how very hard it would be so long ago to exist like that. Nowadays we have running water, toilets, walk-in showers and baths with hot water. We have refrigerators and food that we can buy pre-sliced. We have cars and various Taxi options. We have online shopping and dollar stores! And snack foods that stay good for a long while.

Even in bad health and struggles, we are very blessed. Think of your ancestors who no doubt had problems that you have but no name to put to it, perhaps like yourself. The world is more understanding even if they don't truly understand it all.

You, dear Mighty friend, have good things that pass your way. Open your eyes to them! Allow them to carry you on your way as time passes and even better things at last find you as you so very much deserve ✨️
Hold on! ❤️ each day brings you ever closer ❤️

Years ago I came across this powerful phrase: Don't let the world make you bitter, be better ✨️

At that point in time I was bitter at how much I had lost. My teenage years were wasted in a hospital post surgeries and I was in a wheelchair and in so much pain, a LOT more than I had ever experienced. I was 15 and after school when my friends got to have fun, I had to go to physical therapy. I did love exercising so that wasn't what I was disenchanted with.
I saw these adults struggling and wincing in pain. They are weak! I thought in anger.

And then I saw this old lady who couldn't walk she hurt so bad she sobbed and they brought out a wheelchair for her since it was too painful. In that moment I saw myself. I had been there too. My mom had said "suck it up Tierra" "sometimes you just got to fake it til you make it"
Those phrases cost me so much. When she finally had bad pain, I told her the exact same thing, suddenly her attitude changed and she was much more charitable when it came to my pain. But that is a story for another day.

After watching that old lady hurt so bad, it hit me how awful I had been -even if it was only in my head. Later that day I came across that quote: Don't let the world make you bitter, be better!
I felt like it changed my DNA it was so perfectly timed! God helping change me for good ❤️

Don't let the world teach you to be cruel, because YOU are better than that. Dare to be optimistic and positive and spreading kindness around!

Have The Audacity To Hope 💕✨️✨️💖

I don't totally agree with this one as I have found joy in other people and happiness in helping others

Though I understand the point that it is good to make that happiness when you know you need it.
When my depression gets dark and deep I make an effort to PLAN fun things so that I look forward to the future again plus having fun things often no matter how small (like a mini art session or reorganizing a small drawer(I LOVE organizing, always have, I find so much peace and reassurance in it) or going to get ice cream or try a bunch of new snacks with the fam(I love that salted caramel Twix ♥️ 💖 😋😋😋))

You know best what your real limits are, plan those things you love to add joy in your life-with and on purpose!

Affirmation cards: a Year of positive thinking. My latest affirmation addition to my collection. I got this off of Amazon.

Card explanation:
In this cardset, you will find 365 affirmations, quotes, and short narratives that provide a full year of positive thinking practices.

Here is the most empowering thing you should know: You can PHYSICALLY CHANGE your brain by consciously changing your thoughts through neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout our lives. By using repetitive mental activities like positive thinking, we can retrain our brains to become more inclined towards positive feelings. And when you change how you think, you change how you act and who you are in the world.

These cards were created so that you can experience the power of positive thinking and positive psychology for yourself, in quick and easy ways. Each card highlights one affirmation, quote, or practice empowered by positivity. The cards are numbered from day 1 to 365 and help you build a positive thinking habit over a complete year.

By reading just one card each day, you can steadily shift your mindset from one that clings to every negative experience, to one that embraces hope, encouragement, bravery, resilience, and possibility. As you move through the cards and your year, may you become more empowered to show up in your life with positivity, grace, and courage in this wild, crazy world.

Fibro & my severe muscle spasms # # #Fibromyalgia #musclespasms #alldaypain #aloneinpain

I’ve been battling fibromyalgia since I was 16 it’s been 16 years now and one thing that has forever been debilitating for me is these severe muscle spasms that won’t break. I’ve tried everything or it least I feel like I have. I’m exhausted I can’t sleep my body isn’t resting and the spasms are just getting worse now that I’m getting older for me to handle. What has everyone else tried that may have helped them?
