It has been a good year, I am feeling good, I was able to spend time with my friends and family and enjoy life, so much more than I did, the year previously. Being ill with a chronic situation, is so stressful, and even harder when you doctors tell you, "there is nothing wrong, all the tests are normal". That is when it can be easy to become depressed and feel it is all in your head.
I am so thankful with the support of my friends and my family, they helped me with finding different things to try to help myself. I finally found relief with acupuncture, diet change, learning to listen to my body and not try to do things I wasn't physically capable of doing at the time. That is a very important thing. I know life throws things at us that need to be done, but sometimes it is okay to say "No I can't do that right now." As a mother, a woman, we often feel we need to always be doing things for others, but if we get to the point it is harming us physically, we need to step back and take time for ourselves.
I ran on fumes for three years, and felt more and more tired, and I was getting sick all the time, until finally my body shut down, and I couldn't do anything. Try not to let yourself get to that point, look after yourself and your body, your family, your friends will thank you. If people don't understand you having to take time and not do something or go somewhere, that is their problem not yours.
Your truest friends will help you, not hurt you.
I am so blessed for what I have, and thankful to all that have helped me.
Thank you for stopping by, email or message me if you want to chat!
