Is there purpose in the pain?

I don’t think we talk enough about the pain that comes with chronic illness — not just the physical pain, but the mental and emotional toll it takes. When your body is constantly fighting, your mind starts to feel like it’s breaking too.

Here I am, day seven in the hospital. More tests, more scans, more bloodwork. And still no clear answers. It’s frustrating. It’s exhausting. It’s heavy. I’d rather be home — even if that just means waiting for the next flare-up, repeating the same cycle again and again.

I find myself asking: Why am I going through this again? What is the point of all this suffering? I’m alive, yes, but some days I wonder — am I living with purpose, or just surviving?

If you’ve ever felt this way, know you’re not alone. And maybe, just maybe, there is some purpose in the pain — even if we can’t see it yet.
