My Family Is My Rock
Today was a trying day. I get so frustrated at times especially when I have to go to the doctor. The wait time is crazy long, it’s ridiculous. I know my frustration may stem from something else but I just can’t help feeling angry. I’m not great at hiding my feelings. My feelings can be seen on my face even if I don’t verbalize them.
Living with fibromyalgia has been a difficult journey for me. It’s as if I entered another world. I feel like I can't do anything and my mood has plummeted. I have lost my appetite and my energy. I am struggling to keep up with my day-to-day activities. Unfortunately, the way you look at everyday changes. The sad part is I wasn’t only diagnosed with fibromyalgia. After developing fibro I was diagnosed with other illnesses that go along with it, hand in hand. I became depressed, developed IBS, migraines, and more. After hearing all that bad news your spirit sinks like a rock in the ocean. You may also feel like this, but although it doesn’t sound normal, it’s normal for someone with fibro. You really have to visualize yourself feeling better so you don’t feel like a sick person. One of the things about having a fibromyalgia diagnosis is that you have to stay on top of going to your doctor and your overall health. Any type of health prognosis should be taken seriously.
Although, my life has changed I can’t complain. I used to be upbeat and a great person to hang out with but after fibromyalgia everything changed. I became so overwhelmed and my moods would dip and stay low. I would feel like I was in pain all the time and it was difficult to get out and enjoy life. I was even having trouble sleeping. You always have to stay focused and rely on the fact that there is a whole community of people out there just like you. My family has been very supportive and understanding. Sadly, I rely on them for everything. They don’t complain, I know it’s a lot for them. I love my family dearly. I’m very thankful for them and all they do to help me. I may not say it enough but I know without them I would be lost. I depend on them for everything, and I mean everything. My family is my rock, they keep me strong and focused. I put my trust in God so I know everything will be alright. Remember no matter how alone you may feel you have your family and the whole Fibro Friends community.
