Hi all. What do you do to cope so that you can do the things you want or need to do? I came to the conclusion a long time ago, that I would not let my pain control my life. I still take pain meds, they don't always help, and I choose carefully what I do so that I can achieve my goals. Meaning I am not climbing mountains, my basement stairs are enough. Anyway, how do you talk yourself through your pain, or do you? I have a friend that sits on her couch day in and day out, and before anyone jumps in and says I don't know her pain, I can tell you she isn't in pain. She is afraid she will be in pain. (We have had this discussion.) This is such a debilitating illness, partly because it causes us to live in fear of what could be if...if I go for a walk, my ankles,knees and everything else will hurt.... I'm just talking here........ Course, I don't know what my point was. If you find it let me know. |
"When I was diagnosed I was scared didn't know what to do or where to go..I started reserching bipolar and somehow ended up here at MD....Again scared but needing to know what was in store I asked a question..WOW the people who care..I know I would be lost now if I did not join..made many friends and they have helped me through thick and thin. and never judged...........XX Thank you MD and all.Love all of you.......Laurie Pachin" (puppylover)
