A place for acceptance

[Rwby_Rose]

Hi all,

I'm just writing as a way of accepting.

I am slowly accepting who I am and what I can and can't do.

I am slowly accepting that my days are never the same,

my days consists of ups and downs, goods and bad.

Pain can be managable and sometimes it can't.

Use of a walking stick is needed and sometimes it's not.

Having lazy days are needed, but frustrating at the same time.

My body is struggling and sometimes its managable.

My head is full of questions, thoughts or just blank.

My head is my worse enemy or it can just be there.

The need to do stuff is a drive, yet it is a hurdle.

Able to do simple stuff is an achievement, slowly accepting days when they aren't.

I am slowly understanding the fibro will not beat me, though I this is a very slow process.

For this feels like a huge suffocating issue that has no relief most of the times,

Thanks all for letting me process here.

Process away Rwby_Rose,

We're all here for the same reasons, This forum I think are the kindest and most supportive lot, So process away and make sure you take time for yourself even if it's just going in your garden (if you have one)

If you haven't grieved yet, I would recommend it,

For years I just ignored it, Of course I didn't take advice and thought I could go it alone, 😢😢 😭 Silly me,I knew nothing and needed more info and wondered what my life would be like if I had a healthy life and where would I be?

That me has almost gone now, I have to push through and tell myself, I have none of the old me so trying to find the new one can be a mission but we have to try,

Take care

Wonderful Words Rwby_Rose - hope you don't mind I've stolen them as a base to write my own affirmations from as I was struggling to form words that really meant something until I read this.

Blessings to you sister and strength to you in your daily battles xxx

hello. Im new here and been reading alot of posts regarding FM but this post really hit home. As it was like reading my own words.

i also noticed a comment from someone called onceabiker. Yet again that hit home as i used to cycle alot and ride a motorbike now i cant do either.

Anyways back to your post. Writing it down apparently helps. So i hope it helped you.

There so much to take in regarding everything that comes with having FM, it isnt easy to accept and it does change you as a person. Stay strong and keep doing what YOU feel is right.

All the best

Hello; we all have Fibro here, so we understand where you are coming from. It can be daunting to star on a new place, but we are all sufferers.

I grieve the loss of my ability to ride horses, and driving as my sight is now poor. Also dance; I was a dancer for most of my life, until my balance failed.

Cheers, Midori
