Sometimes You Just Need Words

I cannot tell you the number of times I have visited the landing page for this blog over the past 4 years. I have several drafts of posts I have written and left sit unpublished. I have an urge to write, but I feel like I am lacking the mental energy to follow through with a post or write something that resembles more than a convoluted rant. 

Today I have decided that short is ok. That something is better than nothing. That I need a little word therapy. I have made several attempts to write about my fibromyalgia, but I have to admit it is not easily put into words. There is also a lot to it that I tend to get lost in my thoughts and am left unsatisfied with what I have written so it dies in my drafts. Sometimes you just need something simple to start so I am going with this:

F-Frustrating beyond belief

I-Itching than cannot be scratched

B-Burning rib pain that comes out of nowhere

R-Refusing to stop living my life

O-Overexerting on good days

M-My clothes are too heavy

Y-Yearning for relief

A-Always cold or sweating hot

L-Learning to be kind to myself

G-Giving myself grace when the pain is too much

I-Impatient with myself when everything is hurting

A-Acting fine because it is easier than explaining
