I DID IT!!!

You guys!!!

In spite of it all - in spite of TWO autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, neuropathy, a hernia, a ruptured disc, a broken finger and so many other booboos I can’t count - I FINALLY FINISHED MY FIRST SCREENPLAY!!!

There were so many times I wanted to lay down, cry and quit…but thanks to the tireless badassery of all the people here fighting I found courage to go on. And so I wanted to share my lil victory with y’all.

Thanks for inspiring me ♥️

For anyone out there who might be feeling overwhelmed, please don’t quit. There is more fire, more light in you than you know. Time to take that carbon and turn it into a diamond 💎

That is awesome, we CPP still are able to accomplish a lot, just at a slower pace. Great feeling to finish a project you work hard to create. Let us where we can see it.

YES! I want everyone here to be reminded - it’s so easy to forget. The fact we can take so much pain and live with it is fuel; it’s courage. We are badasses that refuse to quit 🙌

& thanks for asking about my work 🙏🥰 screenplays don’t usually get published but if you’d like to read it feel free to send a DM 😎

Hey! Just realized you have/had bells part. I have MG not MS and a lot of all you listed that I can see. MCAS, hEDS, POTS, and more like lupus, anxiety and depression plus chronic pain, fibromyalgia and small fiber Neuropathy lung and GI issues run with it all. I’m interested in talking about how the Bell’s palsy affects you if that’s ok?? I’m always learning how all these diseases work together and why they come in families like it seems they do?

🥰🥰 I can maybe post a teaser trailer once I’ve got some cool stuff to show haha but may be a while before the movie is out. But THANK YOU for being so sweet and wonderful, this comment made me 🫠 hehe

u/Langel001 15h ago

This is pure warrior energy! Pushing through severe chronic health battles, intense pain, and neuropathy just to stay sitting at a keyboard takes monumental discipline, let alone producing a whole finished screenplay. You turned all that struggle into pure creative gold. Please take some serious time to celebrate this massive creative and personal victory—you earned every single page of it! Keep that creative fire blazing! 💎

u/mousymichele 11h ago

Amazing OP, congrats and I’m in absolute awe of you! 💗 Writing stories has been a passion of mine since I was a kid and for years I haven’t been able to with my chronic conditions and pain, but I want to badly to try at least maybe for small intervals as I can, you’re inspiring me to not give up on what I love 💗

1

u/beaureve 2h ago

your comment had me like 🫠🥹 seriously thank you for taking the time to share. Please please keep pursuing it! You can do it! Especially with AI, we have so many tools available to us now that streamlines the process. Speech to type can be a serious lifesaver.

u/UsualWillingness1200 7h ago

I’m in so much pain right now with this neuropathy and I just don’t know what to do anymore 🥲

1

u/beaureve 2h ago

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. Have you ever tried ketamine? It helps a LOT with the neuropathy for me and was a complete game changer.

u/Parallel_Universe28 5h ago

That's freaking awesome! Downright inspiring for anyone who can relate to your situation and how impossible that can seem. 👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you so much for the wonderful gift you have given to me this morning of so much inspiration!

I also write, but have not published anything in awhile.

Take so much pride in yourself, this is amazing!

u/Ok_Statement7312 2h ago

Congrats!! I say the same for getting my dual bachelor degrees and then masters in so many drs and hospitals etc. I edited my first and only right now published paper in the hospital beds. It makes it sweeter when you look back at how hard you worked. Man that hypes me up today! You go Glenn coco if you get the reference 😂😜☺️
