THANK YOU to my friends ♥️ who DONATED $700 on the GoFundMe to help with medical/health support - https://www.gofundme.com/f/sat-avtar-with-cfs-fibromyalgia-and-cptsd-relief
I remember when I was first diagnosed (they almost went with Lupus) how I really went at it alone. I was struggling so much and living in not ideal circumstances. I don't think GofundMe even existed. The reality is I have spent anywhere from $250-$700 a month on my health for over ten years (not including yoga training). And I am fine with it. I am glad for it. But it is a realty I am not sure everyone understands. People buy drinks, I get acupuncture. I do sometimes hours of yoga a day. I trauma process like a champ. It is what has been required. Considering a friend said I look 26 I don't say it has other side effects I don't appreciate.
But it can be a lot, and can sometimes feel isolating because so many hours spent doing that while many other people have more time to just do and be and create. I'v been to auditions in serious pain and smiled through it. I'v been surrounded by friends so tired I felt like I was walking through mud. I think it is a testament to the yoga and upkeep I had not crashed sooner after so many family members dying, stress, job loss, relationships betrayals etc. And the big steps to getting through victimhood.
You see for me, waking and doing yoga is not a choice. If I do not do it I really most often do not have an ideal day. I have no idea how people manage without it. Yes there have been times where I could skip through on 11 minutes of something. But more often than though it's a lot longer. And again that is ok.
I already feel uplifted and grateful. And taking rest as I can with a little cushion and break and getting the care I need. ♥️
I appreciate any sharing and likes, as it helps more people see it and I do not have to post so much and try and reach out as I honestly do not have the energy for it. If I tagged you no expectations at all, just a like is really helpful.
