Self-Esteem With Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia makes your body hurt. When your body hurts, your mind becomes preoccupied with pain and spends fewer resources on keeping your mood positive. Fibro adds negatives and removes the positives which is why there is such a strong relationship between fibromyalgia and depression.

One of the pillars of depression is low self-esteem. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-worth, self-respect, self-love, confidence or another variation, self-esteem is how you evaluate yourself. People with stable, firmly-based esteem see themselves as valuable, productive members of society. People with low self-esteem tend to view themselves as flawed, inferior and weak.

One thing i have found that has helped my body and mind is hydrotheraphy, I've got alot of confidence back and now i have something very positive to do which helps. I feel like I'm in control of my mind and body. Look into it. Walking a light exercises in the water, feel no pain and the water is warm.

I have had a referral to do that @A MyFibroTeam Member just haven't got there yet as we have been packing as we moved house last Friday. I must get onto it. Thanks for the info.
