Pain - don't let it get you down!

Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain,pain, pain. That is all I feel on a daily basis. It wouldn't be so bad if the super strong painkillers I am given actually worked. Still you have to stay strong and have a smile on your face and not let it all beat you. Easier said then done hey, however it is possible. Sure I have days when I want to scream because the pain is so bad and feel very frustrated with it all. Although I have managed to adopt a more positive lifestyle. With chronic pain you learn to adapt to what life throws at you. I always try and take the good from the bad and remain positive. 

I am always trying to improve myself as a human being and have a need for distractions. Easier said then done at times. So I read a lot, I am currently about to read about mindfulness, which is supposed to help the mind and body. Trying to go to several courses (anything has to be free, due to extreme lack of money), like the happiness course. A business course and in the late autumn I have a self help pain management course (this is supposed to help have a better quality of life). Continuing with my art work and creating some lovely pieces. These are just a few things that I like to do. Although most of the time I do tend to sleep, well over 12 hours a day, most times much more then that, or watching cheesey tv such as, Real Housewives, Millionaire Matchmaker and This Morning as many other programes I can just stare at when my mind and body refuse to work.

I know that this blog probably seems a bit higgeldy piggeldy, however for me it is a much needed outlet for things that are happening in my life. I will always try and remain positive as I have mentioned above, however due to the nature of this condition and it affecting my thinking at times, sometimes I can be quite passionate and irritated (like most people) about things. I won't name names or anything, like I said this is just an outlet.

Having said all that, I want to post another example of the art work that I create from time to time;
