Joe... why are you putting labels on yourself such as 'I'm sick' and 'I'm falling apart'? You know what I'm gonna say, right? Right. So I'm not even gonna say it.
You are already doing one of the most important things RIGHT - which is eating the right foods. Your health will only get better, not worse. But before it gets better, it's going to get worse. The process of recovery is based on backwards logic. You are tricked into thinking that you are getting worse and you are being tempted to give in to those feelings... and if you do - you will lose the battle for good health. Your task is to overcome the shitty feelings that you will get along the way on the road to full recovery and show those shitty feelings who REALLY controls them (you)!
Look at me and my back - a bulging disk between L5 and S1 vertebras, pinched nerves between L4 and L5 vertebras, inflammation, and bladder control problems... all because of my back... but I'm feeling BETTER than EVER because I don't let that shit get to me mentally. I have faith in that I will recover and I live up to those thoughts. I never condemn myself for faulty genetics or bad luck - hell no! I take responsibility for what I am because I'm my own piece of art. I may be a broken picture down there where it really hurts but to myself and to other people observing me - I'm the best painting of myself I could ever be.
The mind is a powerful thing. We underestimate the power of our mind's ability to heal ourselves because we get it for free right from day one... but the best things in life are ALWAYS free. You can buy a Ferrari for half a million dollars, crash it, and then buy a new one... but you can never buy yourself a new brain for which you paid zero dollars to begin with. Use it wisely.
