Working with fibro, feeling low and wondering what to do....

[fibrogirl41]

Hi i have had fibro for a while obviously, and i have had alot of things with it, stress anxiety which i had councilling for and regular meetings with work but they tempoarily let me go and i tried to concentrate on trying to feel better with chronic pain, fatigue etc.

I have improved alot although i still get fatigue and feel rubbish sometimes, i try to walk everyday but sometimes dont feel like doing things if i feel tired. I am worried about working as i dont know if i will be okay doing housekeeping although i like to move about, my parents are pressuring me about the future, work etc and i want to do things but i worry and cry about it alot and want to go to college too next year but feel like a failure sometimes for not having alot of motivation. Sorry for the rant i just get a bit upset x thank you if you have any advicex

Hi Fibrogirl41So tough when we feel overwhelmed. When the plans just not happening because of health and things out of our control.

You says things are better so you have found something that helps.

1 day at a time Try to find something that makes you smile everyday however small. Birdsong in a garden, a pet,a friend.

You are still.you.

We often view life by what we do not who we are. Who we are is precious.

Look after yourself as well as you can.

Take care

Gigi

Understand your frustrations and your thoughts however look to focus on You and not the symptoms which sounds simple but in facts it's very hard. Take on each challenge as you feel you can. It's overwhelming thinking about what you should be doing and can't always do.

Stay strong in the person you have been over the years before this illness arrived . Be you and take life with simple steps don't beat yourself up . Write things down it sometimes helps to say how your feeling

About your day or your symptoms. Do some research to help you to understand how to help yourself with pain levels and your tiredness. The more you know about helping your self will help you stay in control. Every one is worth more than this illness 🤒 listen to your body and relax with what makes you feel better because you will achieve. Ask your GP for more support. Big hug and stay strong.
