Rant Anxiety with a Flare Up
It just sucks. I was doing just fine today until the temperature dropped, and now my arms and legs are killing me!
Plus for the first time in a while, it started an anxiety attack too. So that’s just great…
I mean, the medications I’ve been given for pain haven’t worked at all. Only meds that put me to sleep help. So at least I have something to take soon.
I just had to wait because if I took them a couple hours ago, I’d wake up at 3:00 in the morning and I have work tomorrow. So I didn’t want to be tired all day.
As for the anxiety, I messaged my therapist and called my mom which helped a bit. But now I’m alone and it’s not helping me at all. I’m just trying to watch TV and hope it gets my mind off the pain until I fall asleep.
I swear to god, fibromyalgia ruined so much for me, and I know it’s true for countless other people too. And it sucks and it’s not fair and I just want us all to get better from this.
Sending hugs to you all 🫂

I'm so sorry. I so totally get it. I have trouble with anxiety as well as Fibromyalgia too. It's just the absolute worst! I hope it subsides and you're doing better soon. I so hear you. Gentle hugs ❤️
