It's so motivating to get to increase the weights on my weight tracking sheet. I am so proud of myself for continuing to work out and follow a program despite how bad my depressive episodes have been.

It was so hard to start because progress is slow. You won't notice progress right away. It feels like "what's the point" for one day, but the days add up.

Part of what helps me push is I tell myself the time will pass anyways, and a month from now I'll see a difference. And I am! And it is so worth the reward.

This isn't exclusive to work outs though. But to a lot of different goals! The progress is small, and you might not notice day to day. But one day you'll look back and see how far you've come and please trust me that feeling is so amazing. I've felt it both for this, and for my overall recovery journey.

you really will be struggling with an unknown problem and get cheerfully told that your blood tests are perfect and "you don't have to worry!" well no. not really. it just means we still don't know what it is

A peaceful walk with Flynn, down to the buttercup fields. We didn’t meet any other people or dogs, but heard lots of birds twittering, insects buzzing, squirrels & rabbits & voles rustling in the hedgerows & beautiful wildflowers everywhere.

me: i’m totally fine. not physically disabled at all

also me: *fainted twice in the span of an hour and a half yesterday, cannot be barefoot ever bc i have joint flareups if my feet get even slightly too cold, has an elevator pass because walking up stairs makes me short of breath*

[shiraishi--kanade]

Friendly (genuinely friendly this time, this shit's confusing for everyone involved in it) for pjsk fandom that chronic illness ≠ frail & weak. Disability also ≠ frail and weak. I mean I'm both of these things but that's besides the point.

Being fit and sporty also doesn't mean you're no longer chronically ill and/or disabled. *Gestures to Paralympics existing like in general*. They still influence our ability to perform sports well physically but being chronically ill isn't an automatic end to someone's sport hobbies.

Saki canonically plays softball, that's like... Quite a lot of strength required there. If anything I think she's more athletic than Touya. You can write her as both disabled & good at sport I promise. That's not disrespectful to disabled people that's just making her a well-rounded character

You've stretched. You've rested. You've even tried those trendy TikTok posture hacks…But that nagging back pain? It's still there.If you're tired of waking up stiff, avoiding certain chairs, or cutting workouts short because your back screams “Nope!” you are not alone.

How Stress Affects Joint Pain: Practical Tips for Emotional Well-being

Nowadays stress has become an almost unavoidable aspect of our daily routines. It is a common sentiment for many individuals - managing work obligations, family duties, and individual challenges can lead to a sense of being overburdened and apprehensive. However, stress is not solely a mental or emotional challenge;It can also have tangible effects on our physical well-being.

The Connection Between Stress and Joint Pain

Stress and joint pain might seem like unrelated issues, but research and clinical observations reveal a deeper connection between the two. When we experience stress, our bodies enter a heightened state of alertness, releasing a cascade of stress hormones like cortisol. While this physiological response is useful in short bursts, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on our health, including exacerbating joint pain.

1. Inflammation: A Key Player

One of the primary ways stress affects joint pain is through inflammation. Stress hormones can trigger inflammatory responses in the body, which may worsen conditions such as arthritis. Chronic inflammation can lead to increased pain and stiffness in the joints, making everyday activities more challenging.

2. Muscle Tension and Posture

Stress often manifests physically as muscle tension. When you’re stressed, you may unconsciously tighten your muscles, especially around the neck, shoulders, and back. This muscle tension can strain the joints and exacerbate existing joint pain. Poor posture resulting from muscle tension can also contribute to discomfort and joint issues.

3. Immune System Impact

Chronic stress can compromise the immune system, making the body less effective at repairing and maintaining healthy tissues. This can lead to worsening joint conditions, as the body’s ability to fight off inflammation and repair damaged tissues is diminished.

Practical Tips for Managing Stress to Relieve Joint Pain

While it may not be possible to eliminate stress entirely, there are effective strategies you can employ to manage it better and alleviate its impact on joint pain. Here are some practical tips to help you maintain emotional well-being and support joint health:

1. Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques

Incorporating mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or progressive muscle relaxation can significantly reduce stress levels. These techniques help calm the mind and body, reducing the overall impact of stress on your joints.

2. Regular Physical Activity

Engaging in regular, low-impact exercise can be beneficial for both stress management and joint health. Activities such as swimming, walking, or yoga can help reduce stress and improve flexibility and strength in the joints. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, and helps alleviate muscle tension.

3. Healthy Diet

A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can support joint health and manage stress. Incorporate foods like leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, and berries into your meals. Additionally, staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining joint lubrication and overall health.

4. Adequate Sleep

Quality sleep is essential for managing stress and allowing your body to recover. Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night to help reduce stress levels and support overall joint health. Establishing a regular sleep routine and creating a relaxing bedtime environment can improve sleep quality.

5. Seek Support

Talking to a therapist or counselor can provide valuable support in managing stress. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches can help you develop coping strategies and address underlying issues contributing to stress.

6. Joint Health Supplements

In addition to lifestyle changes, certain supplements can support joint health and alleviate discomfort. JointXL Plus, available at JointXL Plus, is a supplement designed to promote joint comfort and mobility. It combines a blend of natural ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory and joint-supportive properties.

My Big Fat Weight Loss Campaign: Part 1—How It Began

I gave up on losing weight a long time ago. I have all my life found the subject of my weight a huge embarrassment. I was not fat as a child, but I was plump, and bullies discovered early on that they could make me miserable by singing “Fatty Fatty Two-By-Four” on every occasion. My father harped on my weight all the time. He was thin as a blade without making any effort, and couldn’t understand…

[microcroft]

There is this pervasive very narrow concept a lot people have of what exercising/working out is and why people do it, that it is only about losing weight and "looking hot" which makes some people more defensive or hostile to the suggestion for one reason or another, like it is an attack against them and how they look. It isnt about that, it can be about that but more than that it is an act of self care. it is about feeling better. it is about making your body as capable of maintaining your life as you can. I understand it is more difficult to some than it is for others, every single person is different and has different circumstances but doing little things to get your body moving will make you feel better, theres many ways of exercising. It isnt just lifting weights and running on a treadmill and things that can seem intimidating or inaccessible. Theres a lot of different ways and with a little research theres something out there for everyone, I have never been a fan of working out but then i tried yoga watching some youtube guides in my bedroom and it made me feel a lot better, mentally and physically. Thats all i got to say ♥️

[piercedprincess92]

My progress from Jan 23 to Jan 24, mental and physical growth as someone who lives with arthritis it’s been a challenge finding balance of working out and not over doing it.

Going into 2024 I think I’ve found that balance and I’m now starting to see the results of all my hard work!

I will be posting updates on here like a diary including what workouts I’ve been doing, healthy meals I’ve made and everything in between that comes with having a disability and wanted to be fit and health.
