Making someone ashamed is one of the worst
things you can do to someone with a chronic illness.
Another is telling them
they are faking for whatever reason.

Caffeine is the only reason
I even have energy.
Lack of sleep
and fatigue
mean I am too tired
to exist most of the time.

How can I tell you

I’m not doing well with this smile on my face. Laughter in my eyes.
And jokes on my lips #Depression #mentalhealth

I hate all pain, given or
received; we have
enough within us

With chronic illness our stoic nature
and our resilience
often mask
a lot of the battle we endure

Not every depression is seen.
Some is hidden behind jokes, and smiles and laughter.
Not all depression is the same.

*Tries new medication*

Me: Huh. I think it’s working

Brain: It is working

Body: How about some extreme side effects?

Me: Damn it!

Chronic pain is a lot of chasing around thoughts
And words
And losing

Chronic illness
changes your life
and we have to learn
to move within it.

Sometimes
It takes a lot
to just exist.

Everything we do
Is just so much effort
and
consequences

When you feel weak when you feel fragile. I know your strength. You fight a battle no one sees. #chronicillness #chronicpain

I am a series small victories
and large defeats
and I am amazed as any other
that I have gotten
from there
to here

Sometimes I am not isolated I am just self-isolating for a reason. And that is some serious self-care for a day, two, a week or more. #selfcare
