Feeling my inner sunshine πβ€οΈ I’ve been getting asked on how I’m doing & I can say I’m starting to have more good days with my health. I still have a lot of hard/painful/ill days as well where I have to remind myself that I’m still healing.
2022 was a huge setback with my health. I never thought I would be that sick & in pain. There are times I feel a hopelessness & my PTSD starts to rise in me. I’m thankful that I have friends, family & a therapist I trust who all remind me how far I’ve come. I haven’t taken a hydrocodone or oxy in a month which significantly shows how I’m in far less pain. I no longer have to take the medication for my pudendal neuralgia 3x a day, in fact I’m completely off that med. The strong muscle relaxer I was taking I now only have to take 1 at night vs the 3x a day. I’m making huge strides in my physical therapy where it no longer feels like a chore but something I look forward to doing. I’ve started exercising, slowly just as everyone keeps telling me, which I’m glad for I need the reminder π
I’ve been able to start creating art which is such a great pleasure & passion. Yesterday I began working with an acupuncturist again, which I’m very excited to be back on a holistic approach.
I’m itching for my next adventure. To travel. To hike. To embrace & feed my adrenaline junky π I’m so hungry for it but reminding myself that at this time my body needs stability, rest, & for me not to over exert myself… it’s very challenging on my good days when I want to take on the world. I know those days where I can be all that I am will be here soon enough. Until then I’m honing in on my inner sunshine. I’m putting in the work to strengthen & recover my mind-body-soul. I’m reconnecting with my true higher Self. Building back up my Self confidence & love after it had been greatly diminished.
Healing is not an easy process. It’s especially hard when you have chronic ailments that the medical world is trying to understand but are still mysteries. It takes a lot of patience, reassurance, & the willingness to never give up. It’s exhausting. But when you taste those good days, those great days, you know it’s fucking worth it π₯ xxx
