What now ?

Ok this may seem like whinging and I know I’m a lot better of than some people and in the grand scale of life I shouldn’t complain but how do you move on from being so active and self sufficient, a career , having horses , an active family , friends and huge social life to 24/7 pain unable to work or even function ,unable to arrange any activity as you don’t know how your be from day to day , not having a purpose , losing friends , losing the basic ability to even able to bathe unaided in case you pass out .
I don’t ask why me because why not but I do ask what now in life

Pain, worthlessness, frustration, lack of control of emotions (SPMS) have me crying at least once per day so I just hang in there and wait for a better mood to appear. Still a daft irreverent bint but can't manage it to order now so wait for her to return. Music, humour, funny insanity all help so I use them when they are available to me. Good luck. x

Or you could always see if you can do swimming or something. A relaxed game of tennis with a good friend also helps me relax. Do you live near a leisure centre or not? Often they are really good at activities for kids and families. My local leisure centre also runs a number of exercise classes.
What do you enjoy doing?
I used to work at a tennis club nearby. Set some goals. That way you will find it easier to keep on track with your exercise plan. Some gyms employ a personal trainer to motivate people.
How much exercise do you currently do? Maybe you need to mix things up too.
How are you feeling today @barberanna?

I had to learn how to pace myself, listen to my body and learn to relax...which was the hardest thing!
I have a busy mind, so used it to do stuff like writing short stories, making rag dolls, quilting, jewelery, greetings cards. My current hobby is rock painting. Hope you are coping x
I have a life long disability - Auditory Processing Disorder - which for me and my family is a genetic issue, however many adults can acquire similar issues due to brain injury, stroke, or the various types of dementia.
So although I have been living with my disability all of my life, for some one to acquire the same problems which ca be part of Aphasia, and Agnosia and many other communication disabilities, must be almost unexplainable and not part of life as previously experienced.
Hopefully you will find ways of coping and develop alternative hobbies and interests that best fit your new circumstances.
How are you doing today?
