Whoever you are, I fear you will never learn the injustices people living with a chronic illness endure all because they are facing the unknown and the unseen as their body is destroying itself from the inside out.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, need a confidence boost, or simply want to give yourself a pep talk, positive affirmations are a powerful tool for rewiring your thoughts and shifting the chaos in your day.
You are finding yourself overwhelmed and challenged in every area of life, and you feel the weight of simply getting through today to be daunting.
Don’t beat yourself up because things aren’t going as hoped for, but be thankful for another day to work on it. And know this… you’re not lazy when you have to breathe and rest.
You can get through anything life throws at you. When everything crumbles down it give you a chance to build something spectacular out of my ashes.
Multiple sclerosis has a higher rate of depression than known. It’s believed to be caused by changes in the brain’s functionality along with emotional stresses of unexpected progression, loss of mobility, pain, social isolation, and financial struggles.
Anyone who says people living with MS don’t experience pain, is full of it. Oh, how I would love to give that person a glimpse into just how painful it can be.
Don’t lose hope. There is still a lot of good to come from your life. You are very much needed. You are not a mess. Because of you, someone’s day will be brighter. They will see you making it even though you’re in the middle of an impossibility and be encouraged by your strength. It’s time to square your shoulders back and hold your head up high. Don’t underestimate your value. Make the best of life when it throws lemons at you and show the world just how amazing you really are.
People use phrases about MS that once were amazing but not so much anymore. Personally I’m not comforted with statements like: I have MS but MS doesn’t have me. That’s so overused that I don’t even listen to the person sharing it. The reality is sometimes MS does have me.
I woke up this morning to my pillow on the floor in the middle of the room. I’m not sure how that happened. I would have loved to have seen that pillow fight. It must have been a doozy…”take that – WHACK – and that – POW.”
