That’s me been in physical pain since I was 15years old ,I’m 63 now and I am broken 
physically and mentally
Hey there,
I am so sorry to hear of your pain and how long you have been fighting it. Almost 50 years, I can’t even imagine what a long, hard and winding road this battle has been for you. I must say though, your strength is truly awe inspiring!! After battling this for so long, you’re still standing today to share your story!! Your battle reminds me a lot of my mother, for nearly 30 years she dealt with extreme physical pain and mental anguish because of it. But a few years ago, advancements in technology made it possible for her to receive a life changing surgery and she is finally winning the battle!! Never throw in the towel friend, you have GOT this!
Thank you for being open enough to share your story on here, it’s truly moved me. I will be praying for you!!
Hey there, thank you for sharing and being open. Often when we look back at life, it can seem like years have simply been defined by pain and suffering. After enough decades of enduring all of life’s hardships, we reach a point where it starts to feel hopeless; maybe I’m just destined to suffer like this forever. Those thoughts are so loud sometimes because they’re logical, right? If I’ve felt tremendous pain year after year, what is gonna change it? Where’s the hope?
I don’t have all the answers, and I can’t take away the physical and mental brokenness you feel. However, I want to offer you an encouragement that I believe does have the power to change how you feel. Recently I was struggling with a LOT of mental brokenness, and the joys of life I was supposed to feel just felt so distant, like I could never repair what life had bruised in me. The temptation to give up was clear to me, and it seemed logical at points. But in the midst of this pain, I learned that my life is NOT defined by my circumstances or my feelings. My feelings were not foolish, but they also do NOT have the power to define my purpose or my hope. My hope rests in something greater than anything life can throw at me, and that assurance led me out of my deepest despair.
You are not alone in your brokenness. The mere fact that you are still here, getting up and living each day is something to be grateful for, and your existence is something I am grateful for in this moment. So if your life is valuable, then this present hopelessness does not have the power to control you anymore. Sometimes I think that some of us were made to endure more than others because their example of courage will shine so much brighter than anyone else’s. You’ve gone through a lot, but none of it was purposeless, even if you can’t see the purpose in it now. I truly believe that, my friend.
So wherever you are when you read this, I hope you can see the purpose in your suffering as I can see it right now. If not, believe that it is there, and that you are valuable exactly as you are. I believe that your example is shining brighter than you can see right now, and I am here thinking of you and praying for you today.
