Is chronic pain holding you back?
- Do you find yourself constantly distracted by your chronic pain?
- Do you feel as though you are not able to enjoy the activities you once did?
- Frustrated by trying to explain the hard parts to other people in your life that just don’t get it,
- Finding yourself missing the way things were before your pain or illness
Loved ones may try to be supportive and plan activities to accommodate your needs. You appreciate their understanding, but still find yourself feeling isolated.
Many individuals living with chronic medical and pain conditions share similar challenges such as a decrease in the quality of life, frustrations with navigating the medical system, feelings of anxiety, depression and feeling stigmatized.
Chronic pain and other medical conditions can be frustrating, complex, and paralyzing. Whether you are experiencing this yourself or a loved one is, it can leave anyone feeling hopeless and disconnected.
