Halloo,

I have said this on several occasions “I didn’t come here to play the victim.” I really mean it.

I made a resolution some few years back to stop behaving like a victim. stop feeling sorry for myself. Stand firm and stand strong. Get rid of anything, anyone pulling me into the victim role. Become a Warrior!

That is exactly what I have been doing.

Sometimes I feel sorry for myself and wallow. but my resolution makes it impossible to remain sad for long. I just keep begging God to please be kind to me and ease my burden while I wait to ride the rough time out.

Am I that strong emotionally? NOOOOOOOO!

I am just tired of emotions that do nothing for me. I changed my mindset- to concentrate on my strong points. One of my strong points is my great sense of humour.

I wont say I am funny. I think I am just one of those people who don’t take themselves too seriously. I tends to make a joke of things to make it easier to bear. This is one of the reasons, I think, I get along with a lot of people.

I am in touch with my inner child!

Let me quickly add that behind my easy exterior lies a very serious minded person. I am a hard-worker. It is my nature to appear easy going and laid back. My sense of humour and attitude are parts of my assets and strong points.

In those dark days of playing the victim, I completely forgot my great sense of humour. I was too bitter to laugh or make anyone laughed at anything. I forgot how great it feels when I have someone laughing so hard they are gasping for breath.

At moments like that, I mean moments when I get someone to laugh so hard, I forget my problems and I am sure the people laughing too forget their problems too. how great is that?

Making others happy do really well for our mental health and well-being. When we treat others the way we want to be treated a kind of peace envelopes us especially when our actions are appreciated.

The easiest thing to do is to be bitter, see all the negatives, choose to wear your suffering by making yourself more miserable. But with determination, you can change all that. embrace the things you can’t control, compartmentalize them and choose to live your life as normal as possible.

Nothing makes me happier than when people tell me that it is hard to believe I live with Fibromyalgia because I am always laughing and happy. I do not wish to take away from the agony that Fibromyalgia is but that I go through all that and still have my sense of humour is an achievement in my book.



A good sense of humour does not mean happiness nor contentment. you are just saying ‘Sod Off’ to your problems. It helps deal with the downs. Life comes with good and bad, that is just the way it is.

Sometimes I am sitting at my desk, at work, laughing and messing around with my colleagues, unknown to them I am in excruciating pain. but laughing and joking takes my mind off it. I may not be happy with chronic pain but I am not ashamed of living with it. I am just happy I get respites by making others laugh.

So, Fibromyalgia or not, Chronic Pain or not, Depression or not, Anxiety or not. My great sense of humour is going to be used to its maximum effect. Are you with me?
