Hey everyone! Welcome back. I hope you are having an amazing Father’s Day, here’s an update on me:

**trigger warning: talk about suicidal thoughts****

Mentally:

I am very depressed. Last night I started having suicidal thoughts. Ugh. I thought I was just depressed because of my pain but it’s more than that. I believe I am chemically depressed because all I could think about last night was death and laying in bed all day. It’s bad. It’s really bad. But I am safe. I do not have a plan. I just have suicidal thoughts. I am talking with my psychiatrist this week so hopefully we could change some of my medicines. I will just keep going. I promise you all I will not harm myself and I will never ever give up❤️

Physically:

Ugh so much unbearable pain. The pain is constant and never goes away. I am losing hope that I will ever feel bad. I just hurt every single of everyday. I am exhausted and in so much pain.

Good new: I am on a new medicine for my fibromyalgia, I see my pain doctor in one week, and I talk to my psychiatrist this week as well.

I promise you guys: I am safe. I will not harm myself. I will keep going and I will not give up❤️💜💖

Thank you all for listening. I love writing to you all every week. It’s nice having a safe place to talk about how I am really doing💛

Hey everyone! I am back! I am sorry it’s been so long since I have post but here I am, and here is an update on me:

Mentally:

I feel depressed (again). I believe it’s chemical this time because I have been feeling depressed for months but now I believe it chemical so I will message my psychiatrist to see if we can change some of my medicines. I know with my physical pain being horrible as it has been that doesn’t help. But yeah I feel depressed again. I just feel empty, numb, and sad for no reason. So yeah. But hopefully I will feel better soon with the help of my doctor.

Physically:

Unbearable. I have been in a flare for the past few days. My pain has just been unbearable. It’s killing me. It’s exhausting and ugh I hate it.

Good news:

I have another pain procedure on Tuesday it’s like a nerve block but stronger so that should help for a few days. Then if that is successful I will be another procedure where the doctor will burn my nerves. So I am hopefully that these procedures will help❤️💜💖

I am sorry if it sounds like I am complaining. I am not I am just stating how life really is when you live with constant chronic pain and mental illnesses.

Thank you for listening! I will try to start posting weekly again❤️💜💖

I love you all!❤️💜💖

Hey everyone! Welcome back! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend. So here some good news first:

I had a good weekend! One of my best friends came over and we had an amazing time. Today I actually went to a store since Covid-19, I got my cat some toys so hopefully he likes it. So it was a really good weekend❤️💜💜

Bad news: my pain procedure that was planned for today has been canceled due to my insurance not approving the procedure in time. So I rescheduled and will have the procedure in two week.

Mentally:

I have been up and down. But as you all know I am a Christian but I have been struggling with my faith. So that’s been really hard on me mentally. I depend on my faith in God and lately I just haven’t had strong faith. But I am working on it. So that’s good but it’s a process. Honestly I think my faith isn’t as strong due to how much physical pain I am in due to fibromyalgia. So I have been feeling down and depressed. But I am hanging in there. It’s been tough but I am making it❤️

Physically:

Ughhhh been its been unbearable. I was in a flare all last week and it was horrible! Today I am still hurting pretty bad. Honestly I am so exhausted, hurting way to much, and just wish I was better already. It feel like my pain just keeps getting worse and worse. I have had to stop doing some chores because I physically can’t do them anymore. It’s tough to stop doing thing because you physically can’t. It’s been horrible but I am pray this pain procedure in two week just really helps.

Thank you for listening. I am sorry if it sounded like I was complaining. I really wasn’t I was just sharing the truth about living with all my illnesses. I want to be honest with all of you❤️

Hey everyone! Welcome back!❤️ I hope you have had a wonderful week. I do have some good news to share:

Good news: my procedure I am done (which was a branch block which is like a nerve block but stronger) it was a success!💛 my pain was gone for a whole day and one half of a day❤️ it was sooo nice not hurting😍 so now in two weeks I am having that same procedure done. Then if that works my doctor will do a major procedure where they burn my nerves. So I am very excited and scared at the same thing😬😅

Mentally: I have been up and down. Mostly down. I have just been feeling pretty down and depressed since my physical pain has been come back and been horrible. But today I have been in a great mood which is awesome❤️💜💛 I am just taking it, day by day and just keep making through each day💙

Physically: since my pain has come back it’s been awful. It’s been unbearable these past few days. It’s been raining and rain always makes me hurt more. But today my pain is better so that’s good. And soon I have my second procedure. So even though the pain, there are good things coming❤️💜💖💙💛

Even though it’s been tough lately. I have been making, day by day. I will continue to make it, day and day❤️💜💖💛💙

I love you all!💜❤️💖

I am officially 22❤️💜💖💞

When I turned 13 I went into a mental hospital for the first time. For the ages of 13-16: I ran away from God, went into a mental hospital 4 times, tried to kill myself twice, and got diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Then from the age of 16-19: I got diagnosed with bipolar type one, began close to God, had ECT treatments, started college, became sick, and got diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Then from 19-21: I have been depressed, in unbearable pain from fibromyalgia, published my book, went to ten different doctors, and tried everything to feel better.

Why I share all this because this is my story. When I was 13 I never thought I would live to see my 16th birthday. Even thought it’s been hell, I am here today turning 22. Life has been tough and it’s still tough. I have come a long way but I still have a long way to go. But I am proud of how far I have come. I am excited to see what this year begins❤️💜💖💞

I am sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I will do an update on me on Sunday❤️

Thank you for reading this! I love you all❤️

Hey everyone. I am sorry I haven’t been updating in a while. Honestly I haven’t wanted to post because I have been doing so bad.

Mentally:

I’m very depressed. I have been having suicidal thoughts. It sounds really nice just to disappear. I feel worthless, useless, and hopeless. I am safe but I do think about death a lot. I am just not okay. I don’t know when I will be. I’m just stressed, depressed, and in a lot pain.

Physically:

Horrible. I am have been in so much pain. I just feel constant stabbing pain every single second of every single day. I have a procedure done on May 18th it’s like a nerve block but stronger. I just pray that this procedure really helps❤️

I am sorry if it sounds like I am complaining but I am just saying how I am truly doing. I want to be open and honest with you guys and want to share the truth about life with mental and chronic illnesses.

Thank you for listening❤️ thank you for understand and supporting me. I love you all and I will be updating at least twice a week now❤️💜💖

I love you! Safe stay!💛🧡

-xoxo Caty❤️💜💖🧡🧡

Hey everyone! Welcome back! Here’s an update on me:

Mentally:

I have been feeling really down and depressed. I know I am feeling depressed because of my horrible fibromyalgia pain. I know I need to accept my fibromyalgia but I don’t know how. I still feel upset at God that I even have fibromyalgia. I just feel very sad and down all the time. It doesn’t help that I can’t go anywhere due to covid-19. Everything is closed where I live and I miss going places.

Physically:

My pain is horrible. I am in constant unbearable pain from the moment I wake up till the moment I go to sleep. I hurt so bad with no pain relief. It’s exhausting, frustrating, and makes me feel depressed.

Honestly I am not doing so good but I am making it. I am taking it one day at a time. I know I will be okay just not today❤️💖💜

I am sorry if it seems like I am complaining, I am really not I am just being honest with how I feel. Thank you for listening❤️💖💜

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I haven’t updated in the past few weeks been very busy with school. So here’s an update on me:

Mentally:

I am up and down. But for the most part my mood is really good❤️ I don’t feel depressed and I feel happy!❤️💖💜 with school though I have been feeling stressed and overwhelmed. But for the most part my mood is good💛

Physically:

I have been in a lot of pain. It’s been rough. I am having to wear my tens unit all day along because my pain is so bad. I am hoping to see another pain doctor soon. It’s just frustrating living with constant chronic back pain. It’s tough but I am trying to focus on school and the good things in my life❤️

So overall I am doing better. My pain is not better but my mood is so I am going to focus on the good❤️💜💖
