Saturday- time for rest right! That makes perfect sense till you are a person that deals with chronic illness. I got up this morning early and went to have 2 MRIs. Well anyone who has chronic pain can tell you that laying still without moving on a hard table for what seems like hours is awful.
It can be uncomfortable but it can also still have you hurting hours later. So I have spent all day trying to figure out how to get comfortable. My neck hurts, my back hurts, ugh! I have had trouble finding a way to sit or lay. So then being uncomfortable makes you think about all the mental things that come alone with chronic illness. “Am I good enough?””why?”””what can I still do?”. It starts your mind on a spiral
This week has been a hard medical week which means that things don’t always make sense. I have been undergoing treatment for my impingement and for the nerve issues that I have. Yes, I get on my own nerves ! But what no one talks about and why I’m starting this blog again is all of the emotions that come along with having a chronic illness, going through treatments and everything else
Most of the time I start telling people and they instantly start- do this… have you done this… or that is like my ….
All of things instantly negates what I’m going through Instantly says I’m not doing enough or plan out I’m not good enough In some relationships both parties can compare notes and it not feel this way but on average this isn’t true. We need to be allowed To say that our feelings and emotions are valid
Chronic pain and chronic illness are hard They are tough and honestly no one truly wants to go through it we need support, we need love, we need to be reminded that we matter
