#fibromyalgia problems

[chronicallyrobbed]

being sick with no cure is a really really weird feeling, especially when you aren't gonna die from it like... oh okay so i'm just like this 4ever?

[im-here4]

Pinned, wings spread wide, exposed

each thin metal prick a testament to the weight on my back

pushing down sharp to cork board

hang me on the wall stare at me through the glass

am I beautiful from the outside, do you see my twitches of movement?

my tiny insignificant signs of life?

a desperate struggle to fly

flutter wings unbound through the open blue

pollinate the smallest daisies you unthinkingly step on

am I beautiful to you

babes my experience is not universal and blah blah blah but when i bring up how much pain i’m in by using positivity and humour, that is not the time to respond with sympathy and sads. like if i’m joking about it i’m either not ready to be upset about it or i’ve already done being upset about it, you being upset about it for me is just pushing me into that space unnecessarily and kinda makes me feel like i’m not allowed to like? talk? about my day? unless i’m catering to your emotions in the first place.

also, like, just match my energy, the conversation is gonna be way funnier if we’re both joking about it cuz let’s be real bodies are already engineered terribly and there’s something hilarious about mine not even meeting that subpar standard

Is this just me or does anyone else with fibromyalgia have it get to the point where all of a sudden nothing can touch your skin except maybe one type of fabric (for me its flannel blankets) or else it hurts so much?

Like my skin hurts everywhere and i was in pain just watching the live action how to train your dragon (not at my normal theater tho)

I just want to be wrapped like a burrito in my flannel blankets to make the pain stop.

Pretty much sums up my life and it seems to be getting worse each year .

Too much pain to sleep, and too seized up to get out of bed and do something productive 🤷‍♀️

Love a 3am meltdown

don’t mind me, I’ll just be casually popping every joint so I can get through this conversation...
