My support system. I have been around some, let's just say, very mean people in my life. I've curriated a chosen family I couldn't be happier with. With special thanks to my girlfriend and her family for giving me a temporary place to live and taking care of me
Self care. Before while I did take care of my body, I didn't take it as seriously as I should. When I had to use the restroom, shower, brush my teeth, drink water, eat I didn't always attend to my needs. Now a days, even though they are way harder to do, I put in extra effort. Because I deserve it
My art. I have a lot of self esteem issues with my art, and even have shut downs on occasions from a piece not being “perfect.” But at the end of the day, when it’s just me in bed, with my art book, and my markers, I can forget about being disabled. I can fully put effort into something I love and have worked so hard on. And my efforts pay off. I can tell my art is improving
No, I am not I am not glamorizing being chronically ill and disabled. This is the best way I’ve learned to accept and cope with it though
Happy birthday to meee!!!!! Introducing my walker named Susie, throne on wheels
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED TO MY GO FUND ME TO GET MY WALKER
After my PTSD was triggered I could no longer live with my childhood abuser. The stress caused me to get ill. I moved out so I wouldn't have to live with them. I'm Now temporarily living at with my girlfriend's now. My condition has been getting worse. I can't walk without a can. My lab results keep coming back normal, but I suspect I have pots.
ENOUGH WITH THIS SAD SHIT THOUGH
After several months of taking a social media break, I'm back! I want a community, a place to show my art, and maybe even make a business.
If you like my art, or are another chronically ill baddie, feel free to follow it even dm me (^_-)-☆

Guys.. I was able to take a short walk and go up the stairs easier. I think I might be cured from chronic illness 🤭
ROUGH DRAFT chronic illness and insomnia
You can't sleep lying on a nail bed. The spikes digging into you. If you lay properly, it distributes all your weight. One wrong move and you're in agonizing pain. You roll around all night, trying to get one minute of rest.
You wake up after trying to sleep for hours. They ask you why you're so tired. No one sees the spiked bed, only you.
Just sending a message to say ‘hi’! And to say I totally get your frustration over “normal” lab results. All my labs have been normal and yet here I am, symptomatic! 🫠
Hello! Just because your lab results came back normal does NOT mean you are invalid and that there is nothing causing them.
I learned after going to the hospital yesterday (forgot I did that yesterday what fuck…) that I most definitely have POTS. I have slightly low sodium and heart palpitations. I have all the symptoms of it. When I treat my body like I have POTS it feels better
What I do to help:
The biggest fucking container of water CHUG IT
Salt, and I mean a lot
Compression socks are a gift from above
AND GET A TILT TEST DONE (I hope to do mine soon)
CHECK THE DATE GUYS!!!! TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!
