Dear Stranger,
Dear Stranger,
This week was especially hard with my fibromyalgia symptoms, but I'm determined to make the best of it. I'm taking things slow, getting plenty of rest and doing little things to break up the monotony. I'm also trying to stay positive and focus on my goals for the week. By taking it one step at a time, I know I can get through this week and stay on top of my health. With all the uncertainty and change in the world, it can be hard to stay positive. I'm grateful for the support of my family and friends, but sometimes it's nice to talk to someone that's a bit more removed from the situation.
I'm keeping up with my doctor's orders to try and reduce the pain. I'm taking my medication every day and making sure to stay hydrated. I'm also paying attention to my body's signals, so I can tell when I'm getting tired and need to take a break. It can be hard to stay motivated when I'm in pain, but reminding myself of my long-term goals keeps me going.
I'm also trying to make the most of my time by doing things that bring me joy. I'm reading books, trying out new recipes, and spending time with my family. These activities help me to stay connected to the world and distract me from my pain. I'm also making sure to get in some light exercise, like a short walk, to help with my flexibility and overall health.
Even though this week has been difficult, I'm proud of myself for taking the time to focus on my health. I'm learning to be kind to myself and take the time I need to rest and recover. By taking it one step at a time and focusing on the little things, I know I can make it through this week and come out stronger on the other side.
It is no secret that life can be difficult at times. Despite our best efforts, sometimes it can feel like the world is working against us. We are bombarded with negative news, images, and experiences that can make it hard to stay positive and not get depressed. Though these times can be daunting, there are steps I try to take to stay positive and beat depression.
The first step is to focus on the present moment. Doing this can help us stay in control of our reactions and responses to what is happening in our lives. We can choose to focus on the positive aspects of the current moment, instead of the negative. This could include appreciating the beauty of nature, or simply finding a moment of peace in the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The second step is to stay connected with friends and family. Having people around us that we can talk to and open up to can help us stay positive and not get depressed. Talking to people who are going through similar situations can help us feel less isolated and more understood. Social support can also help us gain perspective and realize that our struggles will eventually pass.
The third step is to practice self-care. Taking the time to do something that nourishes our mind, body, and soul can help us stay positive and not get depressed. Whether it’s exercising, meditating, or simply taking a long bath, it is important to make time for ourselves and do something that makes us feel good.
The fourth step is to seek professional help. If we feel like our negative thoughts and feelings are getting out of control, it is important to seek help from a qualified mental health professional. Talking to a therapist can help us tackle our depression head-on and find the best ways to manage our mental health.
In conclusion, staying positive and not getting depressed can be a challenge in today’s world. By focusing on the present moment, staying connected with friends and family, practicing self-care, and seeking professional help, we can help ourselves stay positive and beat depression. Alhamdulillah, Allah is truly merciful. He has given us the tools we need to battle anything that comes our way. As long as you have faith and trust in Him, He will make a way.

If you are going through a similar situation I hope this letter to you has been beneficial. It’s not easy coming to terms with a debilitating sickness when people are doubting you’re even in pain. It’s called the invisible disease because there are no apparent physical signs of an ailment. I hate when people say it’ll get better, there’s nothing wrong with you. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there. Until you walk in my shoes either be understanding or mind your business. I’m sorry not sorry if that is rude.
