So good to see you Bekah! You look good, and you’re outside!🙌 Ironically, that’s what i told my boyfriend before he entered into a lot of recovery. I said “ i allow you to ignore Yoda”. So i’m trying patience 😂 seriously, my mental health is doing so much better and i’m just embracing that and i guess i’m practicing contentment and not searching.
Megan, I’m so happy to hear you already employed the non-Yoda strategy! I love Star Wars, and Yoda, but I’ve always gotten annoyed with that quote. It was often said to me in HS/college in the recovery/support groups I was in at the time, when my ED was at its worst, and like I said, I understand the concept behind it (especially since Yoda’s specifically talking about the Force). I just hate when people say it any time another is trying their best to take steps toward healing and recovery-implying that if we don’t succeed at first, we should stop trying because “there is no try.” That’s a load of malarkey. Any time we REALLY give X a try, or more than one, it counts as victory, regardless of the outcome. I love that you told your boyfriend he has permission to ignore Yoda!😂👍🏼 It’s so true! And of course I’m thrilled to hear things are going better with your mental health-DEFINITELY something worth embracing wholeheartedly! And I understand exactly what you mean by practicing commitment and not searching. Rock on.
Lyme is Lame ❤️ It really is Malarky, because where would we all be if we didn’t keep trying with our health or whatever we are trying to achieve? Also, thank you i feel so much better TRYING to get better even though it’s work on top of work.... I’m living and it’s great. While i never really put any deep thought into that saying, i guess it took this Man fighting for me ( it’s been a few years and he didn’t leave me🥰) to really look at those “ inspirational “ sayings. There is one that truly means something “ fight the good fight”. Please keep doing that, I pray that Roger stays well during this outbreak🙏
ARe you the same where you have to have something tight around your head? I have to wear a soft neck brace around my head like you have in this video. I think it fixes my neck curve / and/or CXA angle. But me turning my head is way to tight and crunchy I'm impressed with your strength... I do have a compound of issues... Trying everything - but now I'm broke to even try anything. Thanks for the reminder of "What will I do now?"
I am exactly the same as far as always needing pressure around my head. It used to just be pressure, but now it has to be pressure and cold, which is why I always have a cold pack on my head. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this pain. Usually if I’m anywhere where my neck is not supported,I alternate between a hard and soft collar, depending on the activity and strain on my neck. My Dr. told me to wear the hard collar in the car, wheelchair, and any time there is a lot of movement or upright sitting. I use the soft collar if I don’t necessarily need the extra stability of the hard collar and just need some basic alignment support, kind of like the angle-correction you described (these aren’t official medical terms, of course, I’m just describing in my own words, and while I follow doctor’s orders, I always have to mention I’m not a doctor and not qualified to give official medical advice, just sharing my own experience, even though you probably knew that being on this channel :-) ). But, I’ll sometimes have periods during a day where I can sit in a chair on the porch and try to let the chair help keep me somewhat straight, at least, even though it doesn’t really provide support. Sometimes a collar will be needed for that, other times, I can push through it long enough to be out for a little while, even if it often means using my free hand behind my neck to hold it, like I did throughout this video when I wasn’t motioning with the hand. It varies day by day, but as I’m sure you know personally, the pain with these issues is pretty constant, it just varies in intensity, and due to that, the ability to cope with it or manage it varies, as well. But that’s not new information for anyone who has faced a chronic illness, so I know you’re aware of that. I’m sorry not only for the pain your experiencing, but for all of the complex issues that can be so hard to untangle, especially with the cost of healthcare, and even more so during a worldwide pandemic. I do understand, and it’s a hard place to be, to put it mildly. One day at a time. That’s the only way any of us make it through. I’m glad the video was able to remind you that trying is important, no matter the outcome, and I hope you’ve been able to put that into practice some over this past few weeks. But even if you haven’t yet been able to try something new/specific, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed, either. We’re all playing the long game of life (if we’re fortunate to be blessed with years), which is kind of ironic, given that the best, and only real, way to make it through life is to take everything one moment, one action, one hour, one day at a time. While still holding onto hope for better days, in whatever form they take, and embracing the present while trying to find joy amidst the chaos, pain, anxiety, and fear that come along with these types of trials in life.
@@LymeStealsGodHeals funny that I feel normal only when I'm recording myself or hyperfocused on something. My DMX ruclips.net/video/9TYQozyh144/видео.html The last 2 parts show instability.

Sure is! I actually have one on my left and right (obviously you can’t see the right one here since I was coming with that hand). If you scroll down my IG, you can see a block of 9 pictures that are greyscale and mostly white, and are put together to show the ink on both. My left says “Stay” and my right says “Strong,” so when I look down and put my wrists together, it’s a perfect reminder to stay strong.😊 Got those in Nov. 2012. (I also have one on my spine in between my shoulders blades, relating to faith and Ed recovery. That was my first, in May of 2012)

is that a tattoo on your left wrist
