Belongs to: Therapist reacts to Ronald By Falling In Reverse
I’ve been in physical pain since 2003 when I had back surgery. After, I was doing ok until 2013 when my back finally said, “No sorry you can’t stand or sit too long anymore!” I was 35 when I had my surgery I am no 56 and pretty much bed ridden. I’ve been on pain meds since 2003 and unfortunately it is the only way I can get out of bed and move. My body gave up on me and I’ve just given up on everything else. Luckily I have my husband and son oh and my 3 cats😊 I can’t keep my house clean because its hard for me to do dishes, or vacuum, so my house is a mess and it stresses me out! My husband and son aren’t the best at cleaning either so its up to me, but I can’t really do much. I want to be productive but my body doesn’t want to cooperate and my mind just says “screw it” if I had the money to see a therapist I would, but with our system of insurance I cannot. Anyway thanks for listening😊
Yes i agree, dealing with back surgery issues does not sound fun and im sorry that it became harder for you to move around like you used too. But again, at least you have them to be there for you and the pets. May not be great on the cleaning end but with practice i sure they will get better at it. Don’t let the little things stress you out it about progress. Even it may be harder to do the chores and everything else you are still trying get it done which is amazing. Even if it very little. Don’t be so hard on yourself if it too much your doing all you pretty much can and i honestly can’t agree more. You’re likely not the only one that been through something like this but also don’t beat yourself up for not being able you are definitely trying you’re best keep pressing forward.
First of all, it doesn’t sound like you’ve given up at all. Time and time again you’ve shown up for yourself and your loved ones just by caring for yourself through surgery and recovery. But it’s an uphill battle that might feel endless but there are plateaus, and there is hope at the top. I pray that you might receive physical relief in every way you need it but I also hope for spiritual relief, that the blessings in your life give you strength to keep going, that you find and nurture the incredible strength you yourself possess, and that you have the community (or therapist!) that lifts you up and helps you do what needs to be done (even if they aren’t perfect at it). I am proud of you for how you’ve made it through and hopeful for all life still has in store for you. Be well, be blessed, be loved!
