Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!

I went to a cardiologist, and he didn’t take me seriously at all. I got an off vibe from him. I asked the nurses, the receptionist, and my primary care doctor for a tilt table test. My cardiologist said no to getting me a TTT, all because I got better with water and salt intake (almost as if I have POTS???)
After bawling my eyes out m called a different cardiologist and hopefully they’ll actually listen to me. I just want a diagnosis so I can move on. I feel crazy.
My plan is to purposely decrease my salt and water intake so they take me seriously when I finally get a tilt table test. I’m ready to take drastic measures to be taken seriously
I did what I like to call a "digital detox" by limiting 90% of the apps I could use on my phone, especially social media. I do this because I find so much negativity in the community. Trust me when I say I know being chronically is hard. But there is no reason any of us need a 24/7 reminder of it.
I also find it difficult when I'm stuck at home for a good majority of my days, with no work, it's hard to keep myseld entertained all day. I end up relying on my phone and I get incredibly sad in the process.
As some of you may know if you watch my YouTube, I was off social media for 7 months. I found it beneficial. While I'm ready to be back on social media, I needed a break
So I only used my phone to film my journey, listened, to music, and text two people. My time spent on my phone was half of what it usually was (really just using the camera app.)
Would you be interested in me uploading to my YouTube channel my journey of a digital detox while living with a chronic illness? Should I do this more often? Would you consider doing this?
HAPPY CHRONIC ILLNESS NEWS
Im so excited to say that after two months of having days that were an absolute roller coaster, I finally had a good day. A true good one. I don't mean my usual days where there is a sprinkle of good in a scoop of bad ice cream.
I usually spend my days doom scrolling, bored, and napping.
But my therapist and I came up with a plan to write down everything I do. This way I can create a schedule. I filled my day with low effort activities and rested. I drew, colored, did my makeup, did a graditude list, meditated. I'm so happy to prove to myself I in fact CAN have good days despite my illness
I wish everyone a good day with lots of rest
I feel so much better adding these to my drinks. May have more energy and can walk easier. But I feel better not amazing and cured. Why am I not cured? 🤨 I was told water and exercise is gonna cure me /sar
