How adorable is this!? A penguin for Fibromyalgia Awareness- it's perfect for me :) I have been trying to manage my symptoms the best I can. This last month has been especially difficult with added stress. I lost my job the beginning of July. My doctor made some recommendations for certain accommodations and Walmart did not approve them so I am on an unpaid leave of absence. I have been to biofeedback to learn how to quiet my mind and am now working on trying to quiet and relax my muscles (they are so tight and in knots all the time). I feel so angry at times because I have this pain and have to live with limitations/restrictions etc. but then I just pray that someday they will find a cure and all of us that struggle and fight with this illness will be free from enduring all of the pain and other crazy, unpredictable symptoms we face each day! My depression and anxiety have been escalated over the past 3 months or so as well so I am also working on skills I have learned in the past to do the best I can each day. I am learning more and more with each therapy appointment I go to and one of the most important things is positive self talk which is why I want to share this next picture.
Isn't it a great reminder to treat ourselves with love and kindness?!
Love and Hugs to all my family and friends that follow my blog- sorry it's been so long sense my last post.
