This post was in my drafts for long. Something was holding back me from posting this.
Its my personal experience, and hopefully a good read for you.
2017 has all started with new hopes, aspirations and lots of energy. I could see the vibe in me taking me through lot of things, and I was into multiple things. My friends used to tell me, what all you are doing. You have an ongoing enthusiasm somewhere hidden girl. I was also enjoying it, all the hard work and the success coming out of it. My work, my relationship building, my ability to make people around me happy, my baking skills all was coming under fruition than I thought.
While enjoying the success of all my hard work, life hit my back so strong with a heel pain. Initial days it was thought of as a normal pain due to workouts, that may go in sometime. I ignored and was into my workouts and running regime as usual. But things were getting worse. I could feel I am getting disabled because of it. I am not able to walk or run as before. Gone through lot of medications and analysis, and everyone has the same answer. This is Plantar Fasciitis, usually a runners problem and when you have a flat foot! They don't have any medicines to cure, but they said time can only heal it, and how long? They don't have an answer.. And the worst part of it was yet to come, they asked me to refrain from my workouts, the sole thing which was adding to my energy, my enthusiasm. Literally I refrained from everything because of that, everything that I was enjoying.
It hit me like a tornado, I lost my confidence in life. I felt like its the end of my life. There is nothing I can do further. The person who always have something to do, called a hyper, has laid herself inside the four walls. I remember those days now, and its still scary. I can't even imagine I have gone through it. All I could just do was to cry, thinking about my situation. The strong lady who stood like a rock in many upsetting situations, is shattered. Yes, I am stuck, I wont be able to do things as I was doing before. But my mind was not ready to accept to live like that. The frustration became depression.
People says, when you go through hard times, then is when you will understand the people around. I could understand who cared about me more. My family and friends, but especially my husband and kid, they were more concerned than anyone else. They gave me the strength again to live, and the motivation to dream more. The depressing days started to diminish. Even with PF still there, I could take hold of my mind back. I have started to adjust with the situation, rather as I always say embrace the situation and move on. All these because of backing they gave. Now my physical illness is still in recovering process, and yes I know I am not able to do things as before. But they made me understand, its fine to slow down sometimes. This is not the end of world or end of your life. You have a life which welcomes you with lot of hopes and aspirations. You should get up and be the old enthusiastic one.
I decided, at least for the sake of my family and friends, I need to get up. Get up from the mental trauma, which was pulling me back. Everyone would need to go through such slow downs in their life, but those things should not stop you in your life. "It is fine to slow down and then get up to pace, but it is not advised to stop!"
So now, my mind is prepared to accept the situation, and I am giving it the time for mother nature to cure. Hopefully very soon I would be able to be the old Swathy, in my physical activities too!
