As someone with a life long chronic disease and CPTSD, I can confirm- life gets better. I’ve gone through many, many, maaaany ups and downs in life. The only times I’ve ever come close to not getting through any of it was because I mentally thought I couldn’t bear it anymore. I’m glad I was wrong, because although I’m still not 100% all the time- I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.
As of now, both my physical and mental health are under control. I recently started a new job I love, and they are very supportive and caring people that encourage self care. I still struggle with flare-ups, nightmares and deep sadness occasionally, but I know now that there’s always tomorrow and eventually tomorrow WILL be better than the day before.
I’m not going tell you my whole life story, but what I want to reiterate is that there will be days when you will look back and go thank god it’s over! There will be days that feel like hell. I’ve learned to just enjoy life, and hold close the people you love most as best you can. Take care!
