I am a 25 year old who lives the life of an invalid. Two years ago, when my condition become progressive (still getting worse day by day) I remember even when I first started struggling, I was still able to do things normal people can do. Just limited, then it came to a point where I couldn’t control my symptoms, the fatigue became worse and I had to quit my job that I loved dearly, give up my car because I’m a hazard, especially at night and get winded so easily if I push myself to far with workouts. The energy just to make it hour by hour is ROUGH and until I know the confirmed diagnosis, I’ll forever be in limbo. But, until then, I have to learn to embrace this season God has me in, embrace that I do have to be more careful with my time than the average person that I can’t go to all the events I want to or concerts I desire or travel because I don’t even know what tomorrow is going to look like, let alone months in advance or days in advance. As I grieve my past life, I still have to keep moving forward with my life and not stay in self pity and watch the moments I do have and can make the most of go by. God bless that I can still go to church, I don’t know where I would be without that in my life. Jesus, I don’t know how to thank you for all you’ve gotten me through, I give it all to you.
This is your sign to not let your illness or obstacles stop you for making the most out of what you can even if it’s finding hobbies you can do at home! Pick up art, read a good book, start a YouTube channel and more and more because just because you’re sick doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fun❤️
-With love, Caraline
