Hi I’m Leiah. I have had Chronic Pain, shock pain, and tingling in my body since I had a late miscarriage out of state at 28 years old, and didn’t know I needed a Rhogam shot….I got suuuper ill, and had to use a cane, I’ve been fighting like crazy to try to train my mind to think of good things, especially in the morning, just be present, and to take care of myself gently! I do not use the cane anymore, even though sometimes maybe I should… I basically meditate as much as possible even when I’m standing. I try to go to a place in my mind that is not busy, and stay there. I was able to carry to full term finally yay after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis I was started on levothyroxine, my now 1st grader is autistic, who is also ODD, so my life is literally stress, and dodging bullets. I fought (and his Doctor) through all of Kindergarten to get him an IEP, to no avail. They called me so much an hour after drop off, that I am now homeschooling. A lot of people have failed me in my life, a lot of trauma, I was an SSRI’s guinea pig from 18-38 with every new med w/suicidal thoughts symptoms, and a lot of heartache, and even mandatory stays. I will get through the stress, and I will never stop fighting, praying, giving myself grace through the crazy life I live! 🙂 I know I’ve got this!

Hello! You've had and have ongoing stress in your life, but you are ultimately, not daunted! I love it when you say: [ I will get through the stress, and I will never stop fighting, praying, giving myself grace through the crazy life I live! 🙂 I know I’ve got this!]
Yes! If you say "I've got this!" then you have, no matter what gets thrown at you. But be realistic also. Your life seems tumultuous -- maybe it would help if you organised all the things in your daily life to an exactitude, so that you'll be more ready, stronger, when life -- as it does! -- throws you a curve ball. You should be proud because you've been through so much and you've learned from so much of it. Almost constant, agonizing pain gets me very down sometimes, and I get generally pissed off at my poor quality of life, but it only takes someone's smile, the beauty of a tree in Spring, .....just a little thing, to make me glad and grateful that I am alive.
