I have EDS type 3 so I have chronic pain and constant thoughts and worries about being able to care for myself when I am older . Recently alot of people have been bringing to my attention that I am always so negative in my method of thinking . I do have positive people and things in my life but I cant just shut out my pain and worries . Does anyone have any positive thinking ideas that may help ?
