How chronic illness has impacted my self-worth… How chronic illness has impacted my self-worth… 1. Chronic illness reminds me every day that I cannot keep up with those around me. 🏃🏽‍♀️ 2. Chronic illness makes me feel different to my peers. 3. Chronic illness feels like the baggage I bring to a relationship, and that weight can take its toll. 4. Chronic illness comes with a huge amount of guilt, and it’s hard not to internalise that guilt. 5. Chronic illness means carving your own definition of success while constantly being told this version isn’t the right one. 💬 6. Chronic illness means living life in the slow lane. And that’s hard when everyone around you is living at full speed. 7. Chronic illness feels like repeatedly letting loved ones down. 8. Chronic illness means being an adult still living at home with your parents, never knowing independence. 🏡 9. Chronic illness means never being able to achieve western society’s version of “success”. I could add so many slides to this thread, but I think I’ll share more another time ❤️❤️ xx
Please remember that what you see on the outside i Please remember that what you see on the outside is never the full picture - the fatigue and pain I experience is always real too. 😘
Imagine having to carefully plan every trip outsid Imagine having to carefully plan every trip outside the house. You make sure it isn’t too long that it makes you sick, but long enough that it’s still worth it. You work out timings to make sure you leave at your most ‘energised’. You save up meds to take to help get you through. You put in rest periods before and after to recover. All so you can go out and be a part of the ‘normal’ world just for a little bit. ~ leaving the house with chronic illness 🏡💫 xx

These are the quotes of mine that resonate with me These are the quotes of mine that resonate with me right now. I hope some of them may resonate with you too and offer you a little courage or solidarity wherever you are in your pocket of the world. 💫 As always, let me know in the comments which one is speaking to you right now 💛 … 1. I know things have been so hard, but you’re doing so well. Keep going. 2. I will not compare my journey to anyone else’s at everyone’s journey is different 🍂 3. I am more than my illness but sometimes my illness feels more than me 4. Do not be afraid to do some things alone - some things are only meant for you 🏔(sorry about the spelling mistake in this slide!) 5. I’ve moved on from seeking validation and approval to seeking growth and inner peace 6. There is no such thing as the “right path”; there is only your path 🏞 7. I shall stay patient and trust my journey 8. I’m emptying my mind of negative opinions, judgements and bad habits, and filling it with self-belief, value and love 9. Reminder: you are enough, exactly are you are Love E 💛✨ xx
It’s not you. It’s me. It’s years of being m It’s not you. It’s me. It’s years of being misbelieved. Years of being dismissed. Years of being told it’s just stress. Years of being turned away from help because I didn’t look ill enough. I know your intentions are good. I know you think you’re saying a nice thing. But I constantly feel like I have to prove that I’m sick. That I’m not a faker. A liar. An imposter. Living with an invisible illness does that to you. It asks you to prove how you’re sick. But if you could see the pain, the fatigue, you would never ask me to prove it as you will see it in its fullness. But on the street, in a picture, in passing, you can’t see this. You can’t see how sick I am. That is why it hurts when you tell me how well Iook well. It hurts because it feels like you’re saying I’m not sick. That my illness isn’t real. Or that I’m not as sick as I’m claiming I am. Too much history and messiness of being accused of being a liar, a faker, an imposter, is brought up through your words. I know your intentions are good. But please understand, as someone with an invisible illness, it hurts when you tell me I look well. I don’t want to feel like I have to prove anything. I just want to be seen. 💛💛💛
