Caty’s recovery blog

Hey everyone! I am sorry it’s been so long since I have updated. But here is an honest update on me:

I am truly happy🌞🌞 so a few weeks ago I started dating this amazing guy. He is so sweet, kind, and treats me like a princess. It’s truly amazing and he is today a gift from God💜 Ever since I started dating him, I have become really happy. Even though he really makes me happy, I have been so changes to myself that have truly helped. I go out now on the weekends when he is off work. One day I stayed out till 12:30 am. I have been walking the whole time on our dates. I never thought I could walk for hours let alone date and stay out late. But I have proven to myself that I can do things. I have proven to myself that my life is worth living. I am truly living for the first time in years and I am loving it💗💜

I still have pain from my fibromyalgia, that hasn’t changed. But honestly, I don’t think about it all the time. Even though I have constant chronic back pain, it’s not the center of my life anymore. It doesn’t define me. When people used to ask me: “how are you doing?” I would always talk about my pain. But now I talk about how happy I am. Because for the first time in my life, I am happy💗💜🥰🌞

I am changing for the better and I am truly loving my life now. I used to think that since I had fibromyalgia my life has over. But now I see I have so much more to my life than just fibromyalgia. Yes I have fibromyalgia but I also am Caty who is happy and is living a life she loves. I love my life despite my pain. I am happy being with my boyfriend and I am good🌞🥰💜💗

So that’s the update on me💗 I am happy💜🥰🌞😊

Thank you so much for reading, loving, and supporting me. I haven’t decided if I will continue to update this blog. If you still want me to update please comment below because I am honestly thinking about not posting anymore. Because I don’t need to talk about my pain or depression anymore. Because I am so happy💗😊

I love you!💜🥰😘💗

-xoxo Caty💗💜🥰😘❤️🌞

Hey everyone so I am back so here is an honest update on me:

Mentally:

I am up and down. Some days like today I am in a really good mood and I don’t know why. Other days I am down in pit or depression and cry a lot. So my moods are like a bipolar roller coaster 😂 but today I am in a good mood so I am going to enjoy it❤️💜

Physically:

Goodness I am in so much pain. My pain has awful, unbearable, and so frustrating. It’s just constant chronic back pain that wears me down. It’s makes me so down and sad. Dealing with fibromyalgia makes me want to pull my hair out. My pain has been so bad lately and it’s exhausting. Hurting 24/7 is very depressing. I do my best to not let me bring me down but sometimes it just does. It’s hurt to be okay when you are in constant chronic back pain. It’s hard to do life when I am in constant pain.

But you know I am doing my best. Everyday I get up and go to college and do my work. So I am making the best of a really hard circumstances. I do find joy in life in my writing, crocheting, college, and petting my cats🐱🐱🐱

But I do have some amazing news! Next semester I am doing an internship at my school where I will be editing, writing, and publishing a magazine with my college. I am so excited about this because what I want to do with my degree is to be a book publisher and editor. So I am doing an internship in my career field. So I am super happy about it and I start it next semester❤️💜💗🥰💛

Even though I am in pain and my mood are up and down. I am still enjoying and making the best of my life. So I am proud of myself for that❤️💗💗🥰

Thank you so much for reading and for all your love and support❤️💗💗

I love you all❤️💜🥰💛💙🧡

-xoxo Caty❤️💗💗🥰💛🧡💙

Hey everyone! Welcome back. Here is an honest update on me.

I will start with the good news first 😂

Mentally: I have honestly been doing wonderful mentally. Despite being in a lot of pain physically, my mood has been great. Now last night I was down but the was the first night in a long time that I felt down. So my mental state is great so I am really happy about that❤️🥰💗💜

Physically:

Ugh. It’s been horrible. I do know that this new treatment I have been doing helps most days but somedays nothing helps me feel better. It’s just constant chronic back pain. It’s exhausting and it’s so frustrating. It feels like twenty different knifes are stabbing into my back all the time. It’s unbearable. But I am making the best of it but getting out of bed everyday. So even though I am in pain, my mood is great so I am very happy about that❤️💗💜

Tomorrow I start back college for my spring semester so I am excited and nervous about that. So I will be posting less due to homework but I promise I will post as much as I can❤️💗

I want to thank you all for your love, support, and for reading this. It truly helps me knowing that you guys care about me and want to know how I am doing. So thank you🥰💜

I love you all!❤️💗💜😍🥰💜

An honest update on me:

Hey everyone, I know it’s been a while since I have posted. I am back and I am going to *try* to post weekly or every other week. So just know that I am busy with college but I will always continue this blog because I love you guys💗💜❤️🤍

News from the doctor:

For the past few month I have been having symptoms of PCOS so I was diagnosed with PCOS by my OBGYN last week. I also got bad news about my liver. Even though I said before that I got good news on my liver. It turns out my latest lab work about my liver is horrible. So I am having another liver ultrasound tomorrow and getting labs done tomorrow. My doctor believes I have a rare form of arthritis or I may have a liver disease. So yeah keep me in your thoughts and prayers💗💜❤️

Mentally:

Guys, it’s bad. I am very depressed to point where I am now having suicidal thoughts. (I am safe and it’s just thoughts). I have been depressed for months and yesterday I just finally started having suicidal thoughts again. So I am bad again. I am seeing my therapist this week and maybe even call my psychiatrist. But I know what my psychiatrist will say I need to go to a mental hospitals. (I will NEVER go to another mental hospital again because I went four different times and hated it). I am taking care of myself so that’s good. I am just bad again. So I am just going to keep going. I am still functioning very well. But I still I feel awful.

Physically:

I am in so much pain all the time. I am having to wear my tens units a lot more. I am just struggling physically. Going to college full time is exhausting and I am just hurting a lot.

I am making it. I will always keep going but this is the reality of living with mental and chronic illnesses💗

How to have peace❤️💜💗

Verses: ‘You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. ‘

Isaiah 26:3

How to have peace.

So I am sure you are wondering? How do we have peace Caty? I know right now in the days we are living in, peace feels impossible. But it’s not! Peace doesn’t come from the world, true peace only comes from Jesus. So how do you get peace from Jesus?

1. Seek God by praying for peace, worshiping Him, listening to Him, and reading His word daily!

To be honest with you, I haven’t been reading my Bible everyday. Lately this semester of college has been so tough and I have had so much homework. But today I am making a commitment that I will pray and read my Bible everyday. Because the more we seek God by reading His word and praying, we will be able to build a close relationship with God. The Bible says the more we dear near to Jesus, the more He will draw near to us (Psalm 125:1-2). So we will be able to have a close relationship with God, and that is the best relationship we can have.

2. We have to fix our thoughts on Jesus.

This step is probably the hardest because we have to think about what we are thinking about. Then we think thoughts that are lies from the Devil, we need to stop thinking that thought, and think about what Jesus says about us.

Here is what Jesus says about us:

You are beautiful. (Psalm 45:11)

You are unique. (Psalm 139:13)

You are loved. (Jeremiah 31:3)

You are special. (Ephesians 2:10)

You are created with a purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11)

You are cared for. (Ephesians 3:17-19)

You are lovely. (Daniel 12:3)

You are precious. ( 1 Corinthians 6:20)

You are strong. (Psalm 18:35)

You are important. (1 Peter 2:9)

You are forgiven. ( Psalm 103:12)

You are protected. (Psalm 121:3)

You are chosen. (John 15:16)

You are mine. (Isaiah 43:1)

Whenever we think: “I am not good enough.” We need to think about how we are good enough in Christ. Post that list on your bathroom mirror if you have to. But remember that in God, you are loved (Jeremiah 31:3) and cared for (Ephesians 3:17-19).

3. We have to put our trust in God.

In this step, you have to surrender EVERYTHING to Jesus. You surrender all your: thoughts, fears, worries, doubts, anxieties, dreams, hopes, and your life to Jesus. You complete surrender all to Jesus. How do you surrender all to God? By trusting in Him. You trust in God by believing in His word even when you are going through storms. You trust in God’s goodness even when nothing in your life is good. You believe in the cross and that He died and rose again. And you believe in His promises:

God’s promises:

God will love you forever. (Psalm 136:1)

God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5)

God will comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13)

God will help you and always be there for you. (Psalm 121:1-2)

God is always faithful. (Psalm 33:4)

God keeps His promises. (Deuteronomy 7:9)

God is good. (Psalm 31:19)

God will draw near to you. (Psalm 125:1-2)

You can do all things through Christ. (Phillpians 4:13)

With God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)

God has an amazing plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11)

God is for you and on your side. (Psalm 118:6)

God is all around you. (Psalm 125:1,2)

God never changes. (Hebrews 13:8)

How do you find peace in God?

1. You seek God daily.

2. You fix your thoughts on Jesus

3. You trust in God and all of His promises

Prayer:

Dear God,

I pray that as I seek you daily, fix my thoughts on you, trust in you and all your promises, that you bless me with your peace. Help me know that even when my circumstances aren’t good that you are still good. Help me remember that even when I don’t feel you that I know you are there. I put my faith, hope, and trust in you. I surrender everything to you. I pray you grab my hand and help me every single day of my life. I pray you never leave me. I pray you help me with whatever I am facing and that you bless me with everything I need. I thank you for your goodness, love, grace, and mercy. I thank you for being so good to me. I love you Lord. I praise you for you are my King!

I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.

In Jesus’s name, I pray, Amen!
