Was just told today that this is my newest add on to my list of health issues. And yes it is another autoimmune disease and it can be caused by my CRPS. Noone else in my family has ever had this issue.

This is 100% correct.

Dear CRPS,

I didn't think it was much to ask of you not to beat me down every morning before I even attempt to get out of bed.....

I lay in bed every morning tearfully after an endless night of tossing and turning, because you always feel the need to disturb my slumber.....

I fantasize hope that today will be the day you just let me feel anything but the pain you endure on me every single morning without the slightest bit of care.....

Just falsely convincing myself that today could be the day that I can get out of bed without the slightest bit of yearning to stay in it.....

Sadly, its just another day with you constantly reminding me of your lingering presence.....

You would think that after almost 3 years of being in this Painship with you, that the acceptance would get easier, but it doesn't......

Maybe letting you know everyday how much I despise you, will make you feel the need to disappear and crawl back to the pits of darkness where you came from.....

P.S....F You.

Sincerely,
Me

At one point or another I have been on at least one of these or more. Because of my condition I am now on 5 off of this list. That does not include every other medication I have to take.

Sertraline- Zoloft
Venlafaxine- Effexor
Citalopram- Celexa
Mirtazapine-Remeron
Fluoxetine- Prozac
Duloxetine- Cymbalta
Seroquel- Quetiapine
Lamictal- Lamotrigine
Lexapro- Escitalopram
Wellbutrin- Bupropion
Lorazepam- Ativan
Klonopin- Clonazepam

If you're savvy enough to know what these tablets are or know a loved one who takes them, then I don't have to describe to you what this post is regarding. But in case you don't, I will fill you in.

That medication allows people to deal with a normal day to day life. Although most days it leaves them tired, spaced out, emotionless, or even super emotional. Crazy right? Why would anyone want to feel like that? Well this is why!!

You see, some people suffer from severe depression and anxiety.
In their brain it doesn't sit right, something seems different. They notice little differences that other people wouldn't. Most days they wake up sick and feel sleepless.

They consistently over think every situation. Was a comment about them was it a joke? Was that person supposed to laugh? Or did they mean it? Are they being nice? Are they talking about them? Do they talk about them? They then think I bet they don’t like me really.

They say sorry all the time. They feel like they annoy everyone.
And for all those questions they will spend hours trying to answer. Let it all build up in their mind, until it sends them to tears...... it's mental that they see things that way.

It's not only mental changes, but physical changes. They don't eat a lot or they eat way too much. Insomnia, up all night answering questions to situations that don't even exist, or sleep too much and waste half their day still feeling tired. They still smile and they have every excuse for when you ask why.

But the tablets can help them. Because they know when they start to feel this way or think this way, they need help. They know that when their behavior starts to change, They need guidance. And they understand that they don't need to be ashamed. They don't need to be understood. They just need to be accepted. Everyone is fighting a battle and sometimes you need to be kinder.

So I may just be another person who's talking about mental health....Living with this illness is hard, but trying to understand it, is even harder. It’s also 100 times harder if they have another condition on top of this.

Don't suffer in silence.❤

Stop the stigma!
Mental health is just as important as physical health.
