I don’t like my new normal
I now have to spend my days off resting
Just so I can continue the endless cycle
Of pain and fatigue 24 hours a day
…
I long for what my life used to be
When the pain wasn’t constant
When the fatigue was manageable
When I could achieve everything I wanted in a day
…
Despite my best efforts I am only worsening
I struggle through the day
With a smile on my face
Hiding my symptoms from the world
…
I’m nearly 25 but I feel 80
I barely have a social life
And when I do I suffer the consequences
I can be housebound for days
…
I try not to give in
Always carry on despite it
Attempt to ignore it all
But it’s impossible when my symptoms are constant
…
Trying to reduce what I do
Attempting to hold back my symptoms
It just doesnt seem to be working
I’m feeling worse and worse
…
I’m learning to be more thankful
For the things I can do
I now appreciate every achievement
No matter how small
…
But yes it is tough
Chronic illness is no walk in the park
It’s not going to go away
But I’m doing my best to stay positive
Oh this made my heart ache – I could have written it myself, though nowhere near as eloquently. Very well said 🌷

Hello! I ust wanted to ask if youu ever have any issues with
hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
losing many months of hard work due to no back up. Do
you have any methods to protect against hackers?
