body pain

this morning i wake feeling sad/dull. then i survey my body and notice my whole body hurts, pins and needles. my head hurts too. its mild but enough to ruin the happy me. its time to take this seriously. ive been avoiding doing anything really health related since the beginning of the year for a couple of reasons. ive been through some drastic life changes, and because i was overjoyed with the ability to go to school, work, and have a social life. its changing for me again, i see.

sorry to hear you're suffering. it's awful when our bodies don't let us do what our minds and spirits want. Here's hoping you feel better soon.
