    Please don’t give me unsolicited advice. I want Please don’t give me unsolicited advice. I want you to listen to me more than I want you to try and fix me 😘 10 reasons not to give someone unsolicited advice: 1. They didn’t ask for it. 2. Their situation is not your situation. 3. You don’t know the full details of their circumstances. 4. Your advice could be harmful 💬 5. You’re assuming you know them better than they know themselves. 6. It can be stressful for the receiver to hear. 7. The advice can feel hurtful rather than helpful. 8. You’re dismissing someone’s boundaries. 9. You’re not letting the person figure our what’s right for them. 💫 10. They didn’t ask for it. Love, E 🧡 xx
    The Black & White View of Chronic Illness (that ne The Black & White View of Chronic Illness (that needs to change)… 1. *goes out*…you’re clearly not sick / *doesn’t leave the house*…you can’t be that sick. 2. *talks about illness*…focus on something else / *never talks about illness*…it doesn’t affect your life 🌪 3. *has a job*…must be fine, doesn’t need help/accessibility / *too sick to work*…needs to find a passion, drain on resources 4. *starts to improve*…wasn’t that sick in the first place / *doesn’t improve*…needs to try harder 5. *cancels last minute*…seen as unreliable / *attends once*…fine to go out all the time 🌈 6. *seeks outside help*…you should heal yourself, wants to be ill / *doesn’t seek help…doesn’t need the help 7. *looks sick*…need to make more effort / *doesn’t look sick*…can’t be as sick as you say you are 🙅🏽‍♀️ 8. *young and sick*…too young to be sick / *older and sick*…everyone gets tired/pain The black and white perspective of chronic illness can make many of us feel isolated, misunderstood and lonely. Please know you are not alone. Your illness and the complications that come with it are valid. I see you. 💫 Love E xx
    Thought I’d share another lot of quotes with you Thought I’d share another lot of quotes with you guys, this time sharing more mindful emotions and wisdom insights. Let me know in the comments which one speaks to you today… 1. It doesn’t have to be a bad day, it can just be a bad moment. 🌦 2. My current situation is not my permanent destination. 3. Saying someone can’t be sad because someone else might have it worse, is like saying someone can’t be happy because someone else might have it better. 🙅🏽‍♀️ 4. In case no one has told you recently, just getting through each day is an amazing achievement. 5. I’m working on myself, for myself, by myself. 6. I’ve moved on from worrying about what others think to focusing on how I can grow within myself. 🧘🏽‍♀️ 7. Feeling sad for no reason is still a valid reason. 8. The world is so heavy right now. It’s okay to… Put yourself first. Turn off the news. Prioritise self-care. Avoid negativity. Not reply to messages. Feel a bit shit. 🌊 9. You don’t need to keep holding on to the things that are weighing you down. Love E 💛 xx
    What I wish people knew about chronic illness… 1 What I wish people knew about chronic illness… 1. My physical appearance has nothing to do with how well/sick I am. 💛 2. It’s okay to ask me about my illness. 3. You will only ever see me when I’m physically at my best. 4. Just because I could do something yesterday doesn’t mean I can today. 5. I still want to be invited even if you know I can’t make it. 6. It means a lot to me when you research my illness. 💻 7. Just because I’m doing better doesn’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 I’ll physically feel on the day. Anything you would add on what you wish people knew about chronic illness? 😘 xx

    20 months difference 💚 No, I’m not fully rec 20 months difference 💚 No, I’m not fully recovered. No, I didn’t find a magical cure. Yes, I’ve been really been sick for 8 and a half years. And yes, I’m still sick. The last year has been hard. So many setbacks. So many downhills slopes. So many “is this as far as I can recover?” thoughts. But… I’m doing better than I was a year ago. I’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, “I made it” 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, “I’ve come so far moments,” 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 I’ve come such a long way. And after a harder year of so many setbacks, I need moments to just appreciate how far I’ve come in 20 months ✨ ~ (As always, please be kind and respect my decision not to talk about treatments etc on here - this is a thoughts and feelings page 😌) xx
