Can I just vent for a minute?
For three weeks straight I have been in pain. Sometimes days are worse than others, but it is always there – always under the surface…..and I’m quite tired of it. I’m sure there many of you out there who can relate.
I can’t get out of bed in the mornings. I honestly need at least a good 8-10 hours to feel somewhat normal (and I’ve had considerably less lately). I have goals I want to accomplish for the day, but most days I end up just trying to survive (and not yell at my kids too much).
I’m usually good at not showing my pain to others, but this past week was exceptionally bad, as I got sick on top of it all.
Why do I hide it?
Because I don’t really see a point to telling people. It’s not like they can fix it. Some people understand, but most only think they do (it’s not their fault, they just don’t know what it’s like to live in pain). So, really it would just be complaining, which never really solves anything.
But here is what I do know:
The healthier I eat, the better I feel.
I feel better on days that I exercise, compared to days that I don’t.
Sleep is my friend, and I’d like her to come visit more.
As much as I hate taking my medications, I am sure I would feel worse than if I didn’t.
I appreciate that my body always has enough energy reserves to help me get done what I absolutely need to for the day (and then it usually crashes afterward).
Positivity and negativity are both strong powers. I feel better when I harness my power of positivity.
So, I sit here this morning (well, at least I just woke up), drinking my superfoods, psyching myself up to do a workout (the nice thing today is that it’s entirely on the floor!), because I can’t even imagine how much MORE pain I would be in if I were sedentary and ate like garbage.
Thanks for reading….
