Life is so complicated at times. This has been the first week in a very long time, that my body has felt overly tired. I would normally push my body to go workout, but you become aware of your limits after you been at this game for over half your life.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!I honestly feel like I’m riding a wave. I have my fun, joyous moments, but at times I feel like I’m barely hanging on. I’m sure when your sick with any autoimmune disease, you feel the same. It’s like going to war, but not with your normal weapons. What you eat, could affect your mood or body, the activities that you can do… you have limits. You don’t make plans, because you don’t know if you’ll be up for it later.
This has caused problems with past friendships. I just learned if they don’t understand my situation, then I cut them off completely. It’s one thing to already feel bad about my situation, but to have someone to ignore what you say… to keep stressing on being a better friend. I’m sorry, but my autoimmune has given me limits. It’s bad enough when I’m fighting depression over this new way of life. Much less, have someone telling me they are disappointed in me because it doesn’t look as though I’m trying.
Do not let anyone make you feel bad about your health. Cut them off and keep fighting. I’m down to a handful of friends, my tribe who consist of coworkers from the insurance office and the gym, to my nail tech and hairdresser. Life is simple without the pleasing of others. If you feel like your shambles… take time to look at whose around you. Are they bringing positive energy your way? Do they make you feel good about yourself?
It’s crazy… but those things DO matter to us! Don’t ever stop fighting for you! Our voices matter!
