We all know that fibro is capable of producing many differant crummy symptoms, mainly pain and fatigue...because of this it can do a number on us emotionally. It is difficult living with a chronic pain condition, but we have no other alternative but learn to do what we can to live with it. Not letting fibro take over is a challenge.
The way we look at ourselves has a big impact on how we deal with it.
If we look at our lives as ruined, we have already given up. For me making positive changes... mainly my attitude was a giant step in the right direction...I feel it helps give me some power back.
A positive attitude does not get rid of pain...it does help you deal with it better. We do have the power to create wonderful lives...it all begins with believing it is possible and steering our positive thoughts into positive actions.
Life isn't easy...or fair...bad things happen to good people. My dreams to live a "normal" life outweigh the idea of having some crummy condition manipulate me for the rest of my life...that motivates me to make positive changes not excuses.
What has helped you?
