โI was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. Back then it was doctors saying the scans look normal. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. xโ
โHello friend. It feels like nobody believes what you're going through. You'll probably say you're fine some days because it's less trouble than explaining. That's alright. Try to find one person who'll listen, even if that takes a while. The stairs don't go anywhere, but you don't have to climb them by yourself. I'm still working this out too, but I'm around.โ
โWhen doctors say the scans are normal and you still hurt, it's easy to doubt yourself. Don't. Pain is real even when it doesn't show up on a screen. Find one person who believes you, and hold onto the good weeks. I still have bad ones, but I've learned to plan around them. You will too. And if you can, get a buddy. Someone who gets it without you having to explain.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are nearly four years ago. It was the side effects of the nerve tablets and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.โ
