Sally, thank you for telling it like it is. I knew in my gut that lying to myself was not the way out of this maze.

[@sallyriggs465]

More than welcome!! Learning to go with our gut is such an important part of this journey and definitely takes time 🤗

This is so true. I have experience with me/cfs relapses for the past 30 years and one of the things at the end of one such relapse were to be grateful and enjoy the things that are, like the sunshine, the rain, pretty clouds etc. Long covid caused a relapse of the cfs plus a lot of new symptoms. When I am in a crash or experiencing PEM I can not really feel the gratitude. on a normal, but still bad day, it is a little easier.

The past four years (so far) have brought me closer to God ,but other than that im just in chronic torture/pain/suffering and wondering how long i have to pretend to be a living being.

Thanls Sally for the REALITY of all this situation were all going thru,it not just a positive get on with it mentality which just shts oeople down but have some understanding as you've given us hope of recover albeit whatever works for you @ the time & unfortunately it comes back to slap you down when you least expect it but @ least knowing whats happening is a relief so thanks for your learning& understanding in this,truly grateful for that& yes this world is @ fault completely and sooner people recognize the signs we see are showing the nearness of mans ruining rule which is beyond doubt but gives us hope for a better future under the creators rule,the LANDLORD OF THIS PLANET& THE ONE WHO WILL EVICT ALL THE BAD TENANTS ON IT FOREVER,so thats a hope we can all wait to see very close as even science says were not able to reverse what weve done,food for thought& hope for those wanting to know!!?? Then we'll know & feel REAL gratitute for all wecmve endured!!🤔🙏🤯😳🙄🌏😷🙏👍🏼😇✌😉🌊🏄‍♂️😊😎

It's nonsense to me. The only thing I realised is that my time is so precious to me because much of my functional time has been taken from me. God has nothing to do with it as if you believe God is all, then you would see that he has given you this curse of long covid. Gratitude? Not sure how you can be grateful for being dealt a chronic condition. My life has got much harder. My finances are a mess. My life is a day to day struggle to balance working to pay bills against recovering enough to continue the cycle. I accept my situation as I can't change it. I have improved my function through self management and effective supplementation. Despite this I have no real quality of life and cannot enjoy the things I love to do. If I could afford not to work than yes I may have a life but at this point iam just existing.

Forgive me I don’t think I mentioned God or religion…

[@Wonderman62]
