Let me know in the comments which one speaks to you todayā€¦ 1. It doesnā€™t have to be a bad day, it can just be a bad moment. šŸŒ¦ 2. My current situation is not my permanent destination. 3. Saying someone canā€™t be sad because someone else might have it worse, is like saying someone canā€™t be happy because someone else might have it better. šŸ™…šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø 4. In case no one has told you recently, just getting through each day is an amazing achievement. 5. Iā€™m working on myself, for myself, by myself. 6.

What I wish people knew about chronic illnessā€¦ 1 What I wish people knew about chronic illnessā€¦ 1. My physical appearance has nothing to do with how well/sick I am. šŸ’› 2. Itā€™s okay to ask me about my illness. 3. You will only ever see me when Iā€™m physically at my best. 4. Just because I could do something yesterday doesnā€™t mean I can today. 5. I still want to be invited even if you know I canā€™t make it. 6. It means a lot to me when you research my illness. šŸ’» 7. Just because Iā€™m doing better doesnā€™t mean I am better. 8. My symptoms, and the intensity of them, varies both daily and over time. 9. Making future plans is so hard as I have no idea how Iā€™ll physically feel on the day. Anything you would add on what you wish people knew about chronic illness? šŸ˜˜ xx

20 months difference šŸ’š No, Iā€™m not fully rec 20 months difference šŸ’š No, Iā€™m not fully recovered. No, I didnā€™t find a magical cure. Yes, Iā€™ve been really been sick for 8 and a half years. And yes, Iā€™m still sick. The last year has been hard. So many setbacks. So many downhills slopes. So many ā€œis this as far as I can recover?ā€ thoughts. Butā€¦ Iā€™m doing better than I was a year ago. Iā€™m doing leap years better than when I was bedbound only a year and a half ago. And I AM still recovering, healing, improving. It might not always be in the glossy, big, arms outstretched, ā€œI made itā€ moments. But the little things. Recovering from illnesses quicker than I thought. Finding more healing tools to help me manage ongoing pain. Being more disciplined about daily rest. And very occasionally, finding the big, ā€œIā€™ve come so far moments,ā€ like this one. I still have a migraine in the photo on the right. I still went home and rested for a timed hour. I still took an entire day to plan the walk so it was manageable. But Iā€™ve come such a long way. And after a harder year of so many setbacks, I need moments to just appreciate how far Iā€™ve come in 20 months āœØ ~ (As always, please be kind and respect my decision not to talk about treatments etc on here - this is a thoughts and feelings page šŸ˜Œ) xx
