“I’m so grateful for this mouthful of cavities, bare cupboard, broke ass car, getting fired yesterday, sciatic nerve pain, and my broken clothes washer”…..

Yea ok…So grateful….

What makes you think everyone has access to food or water and has a roof over their head? What makes you think a roof over your head is reason to be grateful when your L3 pain is so bad you want to die? This quote is meaningless…

I spoke about being grateful for what you have, you have just done the opposite. I never said being grateful will make your chronic pain disappear. It’s a mindset that improves your wellbeing. Humans figured it out thousands of years ago. We tend to not be automatically conditioned toward being grateful, therefore it takes practice to change.
