You Know You Have Fibromyalgia When...

This is me trying my damnedest to live with a chronic illness. Forever Fighting.

Calling all Fibro ppl !

Has anyone ever gotten sick (upset stomachs/diarrhea) when they started to exercise?

Everyone has their own pace.

I'm using every last spoon today. It seems like it's been this way for a while actually.

Let’s just lay around and make love and take walks and talk a little.

Having to consciously remind my body to relax is exhausting. Every few minutes I can feel my body start tensing up again.

[foreverfightingfibro]

Seriously. Fuck my life. Am I doing this to myself?! How come every time I almost catch my breath I get shit on again. I'm so over this shit.

I am beginning to understand that recovery isn’t a one-time deal; it may be a lifetime of learning new things about myself.

I'm not doing so well today. Yesterday was a nasty pain/migraine day. A lot of things are going on w babe this week. I'm not sure where we stand. This anxiety has go to break sometime right?

one of the worst chronic illness feelings: when you know you’ve overdone it but all you can do it wait for it to hit you and agonizingly wonder just how bad it’s going to be this time

I'm having such a hard time right now. Dealing with my own situation and issues is a lot for anyone. I feel really frustrated and kind of alone. My friends and boyfriend have their own lives, I get it but still I just feel like I ant talk to anyone. I'm working when they're free and I'm free when they're busy. I have so much alone downtime I don't know what to do with myself.

Today, I showered. I wanna make sure everyone knows that this is probably the equivalent to lifting a house. So that's why I'm back in bed even after my 5 hour nap before the shower.

i want a house overflowing with plants. i want a big dog who thinks he’s small enough to fit in my lap. i want huge windows that flood the floorboards with light. a porch with a swing that we’re constantly sweeping ash off of. i want ivy growing all around. a bathtub big enough for the both of us.

[foreverfightingfibro]

Anxiety is sky high with the living situation. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents and sister but I need my own space. I'm so stressed being surrounded by things that have no purpose or meaning to anyone. All these extra things are adding to my anxiety and definitely not helping with my healing process.

Home alone. Bored as hell. And things inside my head are going downhill real quick.
