I’m resilient in the face of pain
--
I face an indescribable amount of pain every day
I wake up every day in an indescribable amount of pain. No matter what, this is what I face as soon as I come to consciousness. Depending on the day, depends on how much pain I wake up in. Somedays I wake up in agony, screaming in pain. Somedays I wake up and I can get up, have a shower and make a day of it!
No matter what kind of day I wake up in, I get through the day. I am so proud of myself for waking up and facing such a terrible condition like Fibromyalgia. I can combat multiple symptoms every day such as chronic pain, migraines, allodynia and more!
I am so proud of myself for waking up and facing such a terrible condition like Fibromyalgia.
Some days I can write Medium posts, some days I spread awareness on my market stall, some days I simply take a rest day. I watch documentaries and learn BSL (British Sign Language).
As hard as Fibromyalgia is to deal with on a daily basis. I am proud that I manage it every day because it makes me the person I am. It has made me grow over the years. It has given me such a different and unique perspective in life that I cherish.
It makes me a resilient person. It reminds me every day that I can keep going, that I can face the next challenge. It reminds me to keep going in life. It reminds me to pick myself back up and try again, no matter how much I feel like giving up.
