I'm glad I can get to the gym each day even though it ends up hurting a lot afterward.
This is one of the aspects of Chronic Pain that a lot of people don't get. Some people automatically assume that I'm home because I'm lazy and don't want to work. They think I use my condition as an excuse and that I couldn't be as bad as I say I am. Because of this, I usually don't like people knowing about my problems or that I'm home all day. I've come to terms with what I can and can't do, but I still have a hard time with not going to work everyday and how people perceive me.

The only perception we should care about is the Lords. That's what I focus on. We can't please everyone, but we can always please the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI care. Your family cares. We don't judge you. You are great! So sorry for your pain. Hang in there! Linda
Thanks Linda!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a little introverted and shy and a big reason has been a fear of not being accepted by other people. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but it's something that is in the back of my thoughts most of the time. It's one of those things that goes back to childhood and bad habits are hard to break.
As the years pass I find myself caring less and less of what other people think about me. In some ways this blog is evidence of that beacuse I write things that I know people don't like and I also know for sure that some members of our church don't think I should be saying some of the things that I do, but I have to be totally honest or my points will not come across. I have to accept the negative as well as the possitive.
Your support means a lot to me. Thanks again!
