Since I can remember, I’ve always had a bad leg. I have done countless hours of physical therapy, icing and getting massages done to it. The last thing I have tried was a steroid shot injected into my knee.
Nothing seems to work.
Whenever my knee hurts, I find myself slipping back into my depression. It sucks. I like being active.
But then I started thinking. (my mom always says it’s never a good thing when I start thinking haha)
It is what it is. I think that I’m going to make that my new motto. Instead of getting down on myself about not being able to do certain things, I just need to realize. It is what it is. I may have been given a bad leg, but a bad leg doesn’t make a bad life. I can still do things, just to a certain extent. I just need to realize this. It’s not going to be an automatic thing, it’s going to take some time to “retrain” my way of thinking.
But I can do it. If I can bring myself through everyday with the pain and struggles I get in my leg. I can retrain my way of thinking so negatively about my leg. I am a strong person.
So, if you’re struggling with pain, and nothing works for you–remember that. You are a strong person that gets up every single day to live. Remember that you’re living, and that’s the most beautiful thing in this entire world. ❤
Who I am.
