Not alone...

I've been asked why a blog about chronic pain...well...there are many reasons why.

I don't share this because I think it will change your mind and I don't share it because I think I know everything about a life with pain...I don't...I'm just doing the best I can with the pained life I have...just like you.

So if I'm not trying to change your mind then what am I doing? 

I am sharing this site with you, and my journey too, because I know what it feels like to be alone thinking there was no way to survive this pain.

I know I'm not the only one who has struggled trying to accept a life with pain, having to deal with the emotional and mental pain along with the physical pain inside my body...I know what it feels like. I know what it feels like to wake up every morning and to take stock of my body and how I'm feeling and to still have to face my day when I would rather hide. To live with and experience some amount of pain every day...for the rest of my life...I know what it feels like.

I share this site too because I know what it feels like to want something different in your life but not sure how to go about seeing it through. To have wants, needs, dreams and to have them covered by fear and pain...I know what that feels like and you're not alone.

You're not alone...I think that is the main reason why I started this blog...to let people know they aren't alone...the struggles you face are those faced by many living a pained life. When we know we aren't alone we can gather the strength from those around us and we can face our fears....YOU ARE NOT ALONE! you're not going crazy...you can handle this and you are strong enough. Your pain may be a part of who you are now..but you are so much more than your pain. Yes you may have struggled accepting pain as a part of you...but you can gain control over your pain and you can live your life for you.

No, I am not trying to change your mind...your choices are yours to make...but please know...you're not alone.

take good care of you...please?
