I'm crying... it's been an especially hard month for me. My chronic illnesses are all in flares for the last 3 weeks, perimenopause is driving me bonkers while facing my birthday later this month. I pray and I'm blessed with a patient loving husband. But still it's so hard. It is nice to know that I'm not the only one going through this. Your words are like a mirror to me, I needed to see this video today. God bless you. 💜
Oh, my heart truly goes out to you because I really know what this feels like. Chronic illness is such a relentless, draining fight, and when flares hit like this, especially with perimenopause in the mix, it’s all just too much. I’m so glad the video resonated with you because you are absolutely not alone in this. I know how isolating it can feel when you’re going through it, like no one really understands. But I do. I’ve felt the weight of those hard days, and I want you to know it’s okay to feel all of it. Frustration, sadness, even exhaustion from just trying to keep going. And can I just say, you are so strong? I know you might not feel that way, but pushing through, even with all the pain and challenges, takes so much courage. I love that you’re holding onto gratitude for your husband’s love, that’s so beautiful. But also, don’t forget how much you are a blessing too. Even on the hardest days, you are enough. Thank you for sharing this, it means so much to me, and I hope you know I’m cheering you on. Sending you love, understanding, and so much hope for brighter days ahead. 💜 You’re not alone in this.
It's like you are speaking all my inner thoughts. I miss the woman i was, but this pain-filled woman is so demanding that I truly have to pay so much more attention to her needs - and my ability to push through is all but gone. That is new this year and i think i am in mourning and still trying to navigate all of the emotions 😢 Your words are a blessing in a dark time ❤️
I completely understand that sense of mourning for the person you used to be, I feel it too. Chronic pain has a way of forcing us to redefine ourselves in ways we never asked for, and it’s exhausting. You’re so right, this new version of ourselves demands so much care and attention, and it’s okay to feel the loss of the old “you” while still learning to care for who you are now. I wish I could take away some of the heaviness for you, but I hope it helps to know you’re not alone in this. Mourning is such an important part of navigating these emotions. It’s valid, and it’s brave. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this, it reminds me of how important it is to keep having these conversations. Sending you so much love and strength, my friend. ❤️
I don’t recognize myself. My mother was always in pain and now when I catch my reflection she stares back. My mother was a major cause I have a nervous break and which lead to fibromyalgia. She is gone now yet still lives in me. I wish she would just go away.
Deborah, your words carry so much weight and pain, and I want to thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. That feeling of seeing your mother’s reflection in yourself, especially when it’s tied to pain and difficult memories, must be so hard to process. It sounds like you’ve been carrying the weight of her struggles alongside your own, and that’s an enormous burden for anyone to bear. I just want to say, it’s okay to want her influence to "go away." That’s not wrong, it’s a sign of your need to reclaim yourself. You’re allowed to exist without that shadow over you. You’re not her, you’re you. Your story is your own, and you have the strength to keep rewriting it, even in the smallest ways. Sending you so much love and compassion as you navigate this. You’re not alone, Deborah, and I hope you’ll find moments of peace and clarity soon. ❤️
