“Just a spoon full of sugar helps the biological go down”…Just singing it make me feel better!

Are you sure?🤣

I missed that the first time around. Or maybe I read it without registering 'cos my post says similar stuff less entertainingly.

‘grumpy, cynical, introverted old fart’ … I don’t know why I like that so much but it just makes me happy.

For me my pain inducing depression, then I am depressed, so my pain worsens. It is a cycle that has to be broken. So I try to plan outings with friends or something fun each week that can pull me out of my rut. Even just seeing a movie with a friend. Ordering out your favorite meal.  
This disease has completely altered my life but I refuse to let it take control. I do what I can, use what spoons I have for the day, and try to see the positive that is around me. I still have dark days, or even weeks, but in the end I am able to come out of it. Always post here and reach out. We totally get it.
