Recent pics of Dolly!
In her fave blanket. Another diary post.
It’s sometimes hard to believe that I’ve been sick since March, and sick the majority of the year last year. I was okay December and January that’s it haha.
It’s wild to me that an illness I caught by accident randomly 2 years ago would change my entire life. Basically ruin my quality of life. It’s so so frustrating to think that if I didn’t catch that virus I would be fine today.
But here we are. So what am I supposed to do? There’s no cure I’ve been to doctors…All I can do is try to rest as much as I can. But to do that I would need to stay home but I can’t afford to.
So I force myself to work knowing it makes me sick.
Life sure is weird isn’t it?
But thank god I have this kitten now, if I don’t work how am I supposed to feed her? Spoil her? Keep her healthy? I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she is well taken care of.
I highly suggest a pet companion if you’re in a similar situation as me.
I don’t really have a place to vent so….dont mind me I’m still trying to learn how to live with chronic fatigue.
Chronic fatigue syndrome affects millions, often leaving individuals feeling isolated and exhausted. The impact of illness can be overwhelming, especially when it disrupts daily life and responsibilities. Many people in similar situations find comfort in pets, as they can provide emotional support and companionship. Studies suggest that pets can impact mental health positively, offering love and affection during challenging times. For those facing chronic illnesses, having a pet may also offer a sense of purpose and routine, encouraging owners to maintain physical activity through walks and play. It’s essential to develop coping strategies that can mitigate stress, such as practicing mindfulness and seeking support groups. Connecting with others who understand the struggle can lead to shared experiences, validation, and even friendship. With the right approach, it's possible to cultivate joy and find moments of happiness amid the challenges of living with chronic fatigue. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.
