POTS Life Hacks For Diffucult Mornings

We all know how important it is to stay hydrated, especially when chronically ill.

If you're anything like me, you wake up feeling awful. Keep a giant glass of water right next to where you sleep. Before getting out of bed, drink water for about 1 to 2 minutes. Bonus points if you use electrolyte drops.

Breakfast- a breakfast I love is oatmeal and salted butter toast. It gives me protien and some salt to start off my day

Having an extremely difficult morning? Don't be afraid to ask for help if it is available to you! There are days where my girlfriend makes me breakfast. You are NOT weak for asking for help. In fact, I think you're pretty brave.

Love this response! I haven't been able to shower cause of my back and leg pain, but I'm so so glad you were able to :) I'm so grateful for my partner too! We love understanding and patient relationships. We've been together 1 year now and I can't wait for year 9!

I'm trying to create amore positive and content place for disabled and chronically ill people. I see so many negative posts about being chronically and they can really put me down. I wanna change that

I'd love to ask the question, what are you grateful for?

Now, I know this can be SO hard to answer especially when you're chronically ill. But I really want you to try and think of at least one thing. It could be something really small. Or even a list!

I'll go first: I'm grateful for my ability to create art, my mobility aids, and my chosen family.

YOUR TURN!

Just had to pay a thousand dollars of medical debt…

I spent a third of my savings, I can’t get a job because of my disability. I haven’t gotten a diagnosis. And if i want a diagnosis I gotta keep fucking pay off medical debt. And no getting paid disability till I get a diagnosis. THE AMERICAN HEALTH CARE IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKED

People act like we CHOSE to be disabled. That we CHOSE to not be able to hold a job, or not be able to take care of ourselves.

All I gotta say at this point is

Hehe thank you... I uh.... Sorts have a collection

in trouble financially once again. please help two poor trannies keep food on the table this month.

And if you can believe it, I am e-begging once again. bills are all paid but we have no money to pay for food until my food stamps come in two weeks from now. anything helps and anything means the world.

MY WALKER IS ARRIVING THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY 🎂

Psst… HEY

If you are also queer, disabled, and/or have chronic pain, and wanna see art and other content about it, then feel free to follow my youtube ;))

I've been making shorts, and hopefully filming a full video when I have the energy!

One of my videos (´ . .̫ . `)

I'm not at all saying people can't vent or complain about being disabled and chronically ill. I do it all the time. What we go through is beyond difficult

But I'm on my phone a lot cause I don't have the spoons for anything else. I'm always seeing posts about how horrible it is to be chronically ill. It's constant reminder. Its like picking at a wound never meant to heal in the first place. Sometimes I see more positive posts, but they are few and far between. I should make an effort to post some more positive content.

I was so exhausted and has zero spoons left. Tookna three hour trip to snooze land. Probably shouldn't have taken that long of a nap, but you know what? I DESERVED THE DAMN NAP!!!! I might still be tire, but I'm feeling refreshed of spoons today.

If you need to rest go do it. No need to feel guilty about it
