Self-Love, Guilt, and Letting Go

In this vlog I read from my journal and talk more in depth about self-love, feelings of guilt, and how to let go.

On Sunday I participated in the 5K at the Glass City Marathon! I did not run the 5K, but I did walk to whole route! I am very excited and proud to have been able to participate in the event. Just two years ago I didn’t have energy to be able to hold a job, go to classes, or even get groceries! This was a major moment to celebrate and I was very emotional when I walked across the finish line! My goal for next year is to be able to run the 5K - hopefully it is a goal I can accomplish!

Living with fibromyalgia is always difficult. We never know exactly how we are going to feel, and we don’t know if we are ever going to get ‘better’. But never give up! The future really is a blank slate - open to any and ALL possibilities!

"But You Don’t Look Sick" or "You’re too Young to be Sick" are two statements I have heard over and over living with fibromyalgia. Hearing this from friends, family, or doctors can be incredible frustrating! But with love and kindness, we can open a discussion about what it is like living with an invisible illness and how to be compassionate towards others.
