Sometimes lupus life overwhelms me and every fear, anxiety, frustration, anger, pain and sadness pours out of my eyes, flooding my cheeks. I’m content not knowing why I cried. Maybe my body felt too much and it decided to weep on my behalf.
I apologize for my lengthy leave of absence on my blog. There has been dissention in my body – lupus complications plague me. I’m running on a lupus hamster wheel (and not losing any weight in the process – thank you very much).
Tears blurred my sight as I lost bearing of the blade on my knife as I chopped romaine lettuce. Everything in my body hurt – lupus pain was in rare form last tonight. I let myself cry away as I risked slicing a finger, mistaking it for a carrot or tomato.
If I were single, how could I possible find a grain of energy to date someone? My nature is to remain reticence where I am safe. But the desire to find a companion might catapult me off the couch and onto the computer, searching for love despite my lupus and chronic illnesses.
I’m honored to share a guest article written by Emily who has lupus. She authors a blog which she credits as being her “online diary of life with a chronic illness”. Emily’s fluid writing style reads as if she’s having a conversation with you. I admire her candidness about how lupus affects her life.
It has been a while since I posted an article that I authored and I humbly apologize for my lengthy absence. I do have a justified explanation, though. A short while back, I was in a car accident.
When you are a teenager or young adult, chronic illness derails your life. You are trying to do everything your healthy friends and peers are doing, but most of the time you just can’t.
I haven’t written for a while and I apologize. Lupus dominated my life over the past couple of months. The physical and emotional stress all culminated into a lupus meltdown.
I want to share some happy lupus blog news with you and I promise to explain my reason why at the end of my article. (No cheating and scrolling to the end.)
Hopefully, one day there will be a cure for lupus and the lupus loop will dissolve forever. Until then, please hold onto hope with me, & let lupus loop-us.
