My name is Roxanne and I am 22 years old but I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 19. At first I didn't understand what was happening to me, I thought my body was shutting down or had some type of disease that even my general physician didn't understand. It took a few months to see a specialist of course and finally she diagnosed me which I guess was a relief to know what was wrong but knowing that this was my life still hurts to this day. I had to quit college and still haven't returned unfortunately. I work for my Dad who fortunately understands what I have to go through but I can only work up to 25 hours a week which is sadly the most I've ever worked in my life at one time. Compared to most people I feel like a failure, like I should be doing WAY more than I am at the moment but I know "don't exert yourself, know your limits" and all that shit. I had plans, I had dreams and now some days I can't even get out of bed. Today was one of those days and honestly I have to deal with this so I thought why not check out a forum to post how I feel. Writing my feelings out sometimes helps get my thoughts and worries out instead of just going through them over and over again. I have gotten better over the years, I live by myself and get help usually from my parents, have a job, and workout occasionally. It's just my progress has been really slow and I guess I just need to know that one day I can actually accomplish one of my dreams.
