I hope and pray that you are doing well and please when you can send us some more videos? God Bless you Sweetie 🥰❤️🌹

This video is from 5years ago. I was searching youtube and came across your page. Thank you for this video, I also am a believer in Jesus and God the Father! Yesterday my doctor told me she believes I have a slipped disc in my back, causing inflammation and pain in my hip and thigh. I started dieting in January with Weight Watchers, but this last weekend because of different things I fell off of tracking my food intake. Being in physical pain has brought me respect for people that have to live with that kind of pain every day, and though it may seem like a struggle they keep going and facing new challenges! I pray that God heals people from physical pain and injuries! I ask that he heals them from years of disabilities! Much love and respect to you! Thank you for having such a kind heart filled with Love for others! I pray you are well! 💕🥰🙏

Thank you for this video, I struggle with this internally so much, even though I'm really good at it externally. I'd be fine with it, probably, if it weren't for two things: work obligations to others, and not being able to properly take care of myself, always getting behind on basic things I need to do. I do have SO many dreams to build in my life though, already half started, that my heart aches to be able to get to. I've barely been able to keep my head above the water for months now without much of a break, and that's when it starts to wear on me. Sometimes I don't even have the energy to do the medical treatments I need to do, or make food, etc., and that's when I can really end up in a downward spiral because without those two things, I'll never get energy and can get worse. It's the most difficult when choosing to rest equals choosing to go without food or other needs because work is required to make money to obtain them. This is a really good reinforcement though, so thank you so much! I just had three days of barely being able to move, and finally today I was just able to make a full meal and hope to maybe catch up with something.

Ive been there and some days sneek up and wham you back to square one...but we learn to make small steps forward even if its laying in bed with heating pads and not enough spoons to even take care of our basic needs. But your smile and attitude and the fact you did reach out today and speak to others and made a huge difference for sufferers who felt all alone and needed hope. You did far more today then you realize even if no one could see it, I know what strength and determination it takes to have hope, faith and keep looking toward another goal or step to a better moment. Baby steps add up if you dont go too far and then theres days pushing does motivate and help. And having positive affirmations towards ourselves like we do for others is very important. You are all doing more than you realize and our small steps might seem small to others but I know how much it takes to keep those steps and push through discouragement and doubt and be your own cheerleader all at the same time. We are blessed to understand so we can encourage others. Something that was so needed, so often when no one understood!

I think you are a bright light in an often dark world! I just recently found your channel. I was researching the side effects of the Depo shot. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis 6 years ago. My life has been a nightmare:surgeries, medications, anti-depressants, and then the Depo(which I just recently found out was making my life a nightmare). It was great in controlling the pain, but I feel like a miserable zombie, and I didn't know why. I don't which is worse the Endo pain or the crippling depression.

But, then I saw you come up in my searches. And I've watched almost all of your videos in the last few days. Your story is UNREAL. My goodness, you are one strong woman. I even have had my husband watch you so he could better understand me. Our stories are quite similar, as far as your struggle with Endometriosis. But your attitude and perseverance give me hope. The video today? It spoke to me in ways very few things ever have. I am thankful for you! I will pray for you, Kelly!

I definitely needed this today. I've been in bed for 3 days straight after getting my wisdom teeth out and that caused my entire body to flare really bad so my body hurts so much more than my mouth does. My sister says that my pain tolerance is really high to normal people pain so that's why my mouth doesn't hurt as bad but I still feel so weak and useless. But I really like how you said sometimes you just have to let God fight for us. I'll be holding onto that 💖 I have a painting made by Mary from The Frey Life (she is a Spoonie with cystic fibrosis and gastroparesis) that I look at each and every night before I fall asleep that says "the Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still". We've just got to keep holding on to that 💖💖💖 Sending you so many hugs and spoons 🥄 and I'm so happy to see your beautiful smile back on KZfaq

Mandie, I'm so sorry to hear about all that you're going through. I wish I could help you! I'm glad that you enjoyed this video and that it could give some insight and encouragement to your own situation. You are such a strong fighter. I hope you always know that you are not alone in your journey and that God is fighting for you each and every day. I pray that better days come your way soon; you certainly deserve a break. :) Also! I love The Frey Life! I watch them on KZfaq as well. Such a sweet couple! :) That bible verse is one of my favorites too. *hugs!

I hear ya!! I was so excited for my week off from work last week and ended up with a stomach bug for most of it and I didn't get to do most of the fun things or chores I wanted to get done during my staycation. It was so disappointing.

@Kelly.Patricia 7 жыл бұрын

I understand that all too well. Our bodies seem to always pick the PERFECT time for flaring and misbehaving! I hope you are doing better from the stomach bug that you had. Praying you have better days ahead! *hugs! :) You're stronger than you know.

Kelly Patricia Thanks! :) I still am not sure if it was a bug, my new meds or my colitis flaring up. That's one of the annoying parts is not knowing what it actually is. I'm doing a bit better today but my stomach is still unsettled. Imodium is my friends right now so I can make it through my day.

That's definitely a big struggle; not knowing what's causing what! I'll be praying for you! I hope that your stomach settles down and you can get more comfortable.

I'm so sorry to hear how you are feeling. It breaks my heart... :( Please know that you are not alone in your journey. There are so many who understand what you're feeling and going through. As far as support groups, you can turn to Facebook (as some other friends have mentioned here). You can search in the search bar on Facebook what conditions you have and can talk to others who have what you do. Also, if you want to turn to a therapist in your area that's another way to find other connections and help for you. Therapists know a lot of support groups for illnesses as well. I wish I could help you more, but always know that you're never alone. We fight together. You are stronger than you know and you WILL get through this. *hugs :) I'm praying for you and I hope you find comfort soon.

I actually found a decent amount of support by typing my specific conditions into reddit and talking in those groups. I have agoraphobia so leaving the house can be hard and joining groups is terrifying for me.
