I'm gonna faint from anxiety, but I DID IT!!! Made My First YouTube Video
From chronically offline to chronically ill
Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!
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
No but seriously I recommend these they’re great
I am NOT cured, I repeat I AM NOT CURED 😭😭
Guys.. I was able to take a short walk and go up the stairs easier. I think I might be cured from chronic illness 🤭
Thanks so much for your feedback! And that sounds really calming :) I encourage you to do it more often. In my settings, I'm able to put my phone on "Down Time" which allows access to only a few apps. I'm not sure what phone you have (I have Apple), but you could try that!
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?
Collage jellyfish girl!
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 (^_-)-☆
I love the colors!! I've seen scribble art where its a portrait not sure how they do that but it's pretty cool :))
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!
Let’s make my girlfriend into, a beam of light. She has been a shiny ray of hope for me through these hard times. Chronically, ill and disabled she has left me taking care of me, loving me, no matter what.
