Save Yourself (Original Framed)

This piece is a part of my Chronic Pain Series, which brings awareness to the struggles and battles those with chronic pain have to overcome. “Save Yourself” shows two hands reaching for one another on opposite ends. The top hand is extending itself, attempting to grasp the other hand reaching out for help. For the past 5 years, I have lived with my chronic pain and it has been a challenging journey trying to find the right help. I had gone through many Primary Care Physicians to a variety of Specialists hoping to find ways to alleviate my pain. I have only gotten lucky with a couple doctors, but I know at the end of the day, I must take care of myself. The doctors will provide me with medications, exercises, shots, scans, etc., but when I come home; I have to make sure I am eating healthy, exercising, taking my medications, resting, and doing what I can to feel better. At the end of the day, we must rely on ourselves to heal our physical, mental, and spiritual wounds. Remember you can only save yourself 💚
