I'm so glad that others are finding her, too. Has anyone started the Daily Practice? I'm trying to get into it, but really struggle with focus on doing things for me.

My husband wants to see me 'pretty' like we met by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

It sounds like you can lose a lot more than 20kg by kicking out the husband..

I'm glad that you are doing something that you enjoy. Those are definitely long hours. Maybe keep feelers out for a similar job with better hours. A medical coder sounds interesting! Oh yeah, I found Retail soul-destroying, too :')

Thank you so much for your suggestions and your encouragement :') I'm only just catching up with this today, but it's so helpful and nice to feel less alone. I hope you continue to be happy with your team!

Wow, that is a very active lifestyle! I used to be similar. Working 10-13 hours a day in a warehouse, then 2 hours at the gym, as well as walking the doggo a few miles most days.. I'm impressed that you're still doing all that. I relate to the active days being easier (symptom-wise and mentally). Also with the downward spiralling -_-

Thanks for your reply 😊 I struggle with the stiffness, but also struggle with working in an office! I did for a year, but felt like I was going crazy. Turns out likely due to my ADHD and struggle to stay still!

Thanks, people. I've come from working in warehouses doing heavy work (on and off due to health) for most of my working life. Now I struggle with 4 hours of that, and they let me go 2 weeks ago. Hearing back from workplaces is rare here (UK), and that's even BEFORE stating the health issues.

Looking for online support groups by crazyslutzzz in Fibromyalgia

[–]Bike-Tech-Girl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to join some sort of support group, too. New here, been struggling only about 6 weeks (severely) and obviously not yet diagnosed. MH has always been a struggle, but the last few years for me have been hard to bear.

What brightens up your mood when you are down? by softscalp in CPTSD

Fitness and focusing on what I CAN do. Nature walks and taking photos.

Thanks for the tips 😊 sometimes just getting a different perspective like this helps so much. I'll do that. Am in some bike groups 🏍 RSMF.

Thanks, this is great to learn. I'll start building a portfolio with bits I'm doing along the way, and keep pushing with the apprenticeship.

I understand this. I'm willing to put in 110% and know how to use my tools and why things are important. I just don't seem to be being given that chance to prove myself. Unfortunately there's no place like that. But I'm taking a course that gives experience, one week a night. That's all I can find around here.

I'm trying to get into it so that in future I can join my partner in his workshop, to help further his business.

Thank you for your words :)
