Fibromyalgia Changes Everything

I live with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and the mental health struggles that come with long-term illness. Over the years, I’ve lost friendships, clients, and parts of my former life — not because I disappeared, but because illness changed what I could give. This blog is about the parts people don’t see: the pain, the exhaustion, the mental toll, and the quiet grief. It’s a place for honesty, not explanations — and for anyone who has been judged while simply trying to survive.

A meticulously arranged workspace featuring an open hardcover journal with tactile, textured paper, and a sleek, dark blue fountain pen resting beside it. Surrounding the journal, soft, folded linen fabric in muted lavender and grey hues conveys a gentle coziness. This scene sits atop a distressed oak table with visible grain, near a window filtering in diffused midday natural light. The gentle illumination casts subtle highlights on the pen’s glossy trim and soft shadows from the journal’s curve. Framed from a slight overhead angle, rule of thirds composition, the image radiates a contemplative, quietly resilient mood, rendered in photographic realism. This setting authentically supports the theme of reflection, perseverance, and living with fibromyalgia’s invisible challenges, inviting visitors into an intimate, supportive environment.

Living with Fibromyalgia

My mission is to illuminate the struggles and validate the challenges you face—without judgment, offering empathy and support.

A close-up of a textured, chunky hand-knit blanket in tranquil teal and soft heather grey, artfully draped over the armrest of a weathered armchair with visible, soft-worn upholstery. The armrest is positioned beneath the dim glow of a small, modern ceramic lamp, casting a warm, comforting pool of light. The background blurs into subtle neutral tones, suggesting a peaceful, safe corner of a room. Captured at an eye-level angle with a shallow depth of field, the tactile details of the yarn and gentle light merge to evoke warmth, comfort, and sanctuary—a visual metaphor for finding small comforts amidst persistent pain. The artistic style is cozy yet minimal, in keeping with the blog’s calming and empathetic aesthetic.
