Hello Hello! I’m Jess (insta: jess_and_elda) and this is Patient POV!
Today we chatted with Erika (insta: erikajoysneath) who is an author and teacher. She shares her journey with post injury chronic pain, high functioning anxiety, fibromyalgia, and endometriosis.
Notes:
Her website: https://erikajoysneath.com/
Have to support mental health to support physical health and vice versa
She wrote a book about Adalene Plays Many Ways, a children’s book about how chronic pain and how a day looks differently for two people https://www.amazon.ca/Adalene-Plays-Many-Ways-experiencing/dp/B0BTKXY349
Accept the present and look forward rather than questioning why something happened to you (This took her years to do, this isn’t an overnight mindset switch)
Ask for help
Don’t let your anger or resentment towards your body control how far you are pushing your body
Care for your mental health
Don’t sacrifice your health for your job
Accept what you did in the past as doing the best you did with the information you had at the time
Continue to be brave and ask for help!
Find 2-3 people who will be in your corner
Give yourself TONs of grace (extra scope of grace)
