Zwischen Freiheit und Angst

Welcome to my live of Depression, Anxiety and Pain. I hate reality so I am living in my own mind, you are welcome to join me.

you’ve been moving around a lot? FATIGUE!

you’ve not been moving around? FATIGUE!

you’ve been standing? FATIGUE!

you’ve been sitting? FATIGUE!

you are simply conscious? FATIGUE!

you’re sad? FATIGUE!

you’re apathetic? FATIGUE!

you’re happy? Headache…AND THEN FATIGUE!

learning to live with chronic illness and pain is so strange

do that but not too much. exercise but not too much. sleep but not too much. rest but not too much. eat that maybe? DONT EAT THAT… maybe?? stay active but not too much. don’t isolate yourself but oops too much. ow should i stop? ok i take a break. all better! ow should i stop? no injury, okay i’ll keep going OWWW OKAY ALRIGHT NOTED

and the ONLY way to figure out what to do is to try and fail over and over again until you find the perfect balance

you can’t choose to stop being in pain, but you can choose not to beat yourself up for it. you can choose to be kind to yourself, and not curse your body for being sick. it is doing the best it can, and so are you. it’s not your fault. you were unlucky, and the situation you’re in truly fucking sucks. but it’s not your fault and you don’t need to blame yourself. rest. have a cup of water. take your pain meds. pet your arm and say it’s okay, if that helps.

you don’t deserve to feel that guilt and shame on top of your pain. it’s not your fault. give yourself some grace and speak kindly of yourself, you’re doing the best you can
