Justice Samuel Alito had a symbol of insurrectionist solidarity flying on his lawn while hearing cases on Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Sign the petition to demand he recuse himself immediately or be removed by Chief Justice John Roberts! https://t.co/38zduIivbM

“#ChronicPain is difficult to treat…unfortunately, there are no magic solutions. But to tell #patients to learn to live with it, without giving them adequate help and support is unacceptable.” Is This The Best Advice From A Doctor? https://t.co/NAfwCvk5pu @DespitePainBlog #cpp

“I experience fear every time I make any kind of plans—how will I feel when the day comes around? Will I have to cancel? Will my friends be upset? Will my body let me down? … It’s one of the parts of #chronicillness that most people would never think of.” https://t.co/OZX9Gaygs3

[My Name Is Fibromyalgia @fibromyalgiast1]

Hi everyone,

Do you have days when you just stare into space not really thinking of anything, I know I do? My Brain has shut down and my condition has become too much to handle.

So, I thought I would share my thoughts that I usually keep to myself when my Brain and Body are at their lowest.

I AM TIRED

This is why my Brain has shut down. Fighting pain every day is hard with no rest, trying to stay physically in control of pain is draining add that to the demands of daily life and you have the perfect storm for extreme fatigue, and we crack. My Brain by this point has already fled so only fight is left and it doesn’t matter who get in the way (sorry)

I AM SAD

Fibro is emotionally draining. It’s hard enough to deal with an illness every day and then still be able to deal with what comes in every normal relationship.

My Hubby and I are no different, it’s not always Roses and Chocolates, we argue I end up in tears. Pain makes everything personal and more intense.

I AM DEPRESSED

It’s hard to stay positive and accepting about this condition. Obviously, I have accepted my Illness now, but we constantly have to readjust our mindset about what we are dealing with and accept our feelings.

I AM CONFUSSED

Confusion is very frustrating and time consuming. My Body remembers everything it use to be able to do so sometimes I still think I am capable and try to do things and when I can’t I either hurt myself or have to ask for help, something I don’t like doing.

I WANT TO GIVE UP

I know about my condition, and I worry about what the future holds for me. I worry a lot when I’m tired, hurting or alone and I think a lot about giving up. I don’t talk about it, but I think about it and in some ways giving up feels equivalent to being pain free and on days like this that is all I really want.

When my Brain feels like this, I watch TV or go to bed and sleep. These lost Brain Days don’t last forever but by letting these Days happen you are allowing for a mental rest. The negativity gets acknowledged then it let go and that exactly what needs to happen.

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DAYS LIKE THIS?

Trump is the reason millions of Arizonans will soon live under an even more extreme abortion ban which fails to protect women even when their health is at risk or in tragic cases of rape or incest.

Tune in as @KamalaHarris delivers remarks in Arizona.

[Voter Protection Project @voterprotectpac]

Despite Trump's 90+ criminal charges, his 2 impeachments, and his 4 indictments… he keeps gaining momentum.

Our entire sacred Democracy hangs in the balance. Chip in now to save the White House >>

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

I’m sorry, but this impeachment makes me mad.

Republicans voted to impeach our HOMELAND SECURITY Secretary - which can only be designed to leave us less safe.

They impeached him for failing to address the border…after REFUSING to provide him the money he needs to address the border.

I am mad because this is a WASTE of government resources.

Republicans do no solve problems.

They create them.
