I googled my symptoms. It turns out I just need Universal Healthcare.

ADHD is correlated with "Justice Sensitivity." We have a hard time getting over something being unjust. We feel things strongly. We have a hard time with emotional regulation. We absorb information like a hose. News. Data. We're... probably not doing okay right now.

I'm struggling. I'm overwhelmed, scared, hopeless, angry... It's literally making me sick. 😞

Something I haven't seen mentioned by the media is that the end of DEI also includes the end of DEIA. Guess what that 'A' stands for, my fellow disabled friends?

If I let my brain sit idle, my thoughts will start to spiral.

She will only live for about a week. Then, we begin the end of life process again. We feel like we can't breathe. I am trying to keep up with all of the holiday things for our kids. I am also trying to avoid a bad flare, but the weather isn't helping. This is all too much.

I am having a hard time keeping up with life. My husband's aunt just died. She didn't have children. My husband and brother-in-law were her only family left. We are in charge of her affairs. My mother-in-law is dying. After we bury our aunt today, they will go to discuss beginning hospice.

Living with chronic pain is lonely. Not because we are alone with it, but because we are alone IN it.

A lesser known side effect of chronic illness and chronic pain is chronic loneliness.

A big part of being chronically ill is deciding what to use your daily allotment of spoons on.

Today, I chose to bake cookies instead of cleaning. 😆

Just because I'm not saying I'm miserable doesn't mean I'm not miserable.

I just worry that hearing me constantly complain is making you miserable.

Every time I open my social media apps, I'm bombarded with more and more news about how the incoming administration is going to destroy my life and the lives of others who are disabled.

It has been a long, lonely day. I'm in too much pain to move from the couch and no one wanted to keep me company. 😔

It's going to rain tomorrow, and my joints are rebelling.

Oh hey, it's me!

My Chronic Illness Tip for people who don't like to leave the house without makeup, but also need their doctor to take them seriously: Skip the blush!

Everyone is fighting a battle you don't know about. Except for me. I am complaining loudly about my battle. Everybody knows about it.
