Here’s a thumbs up but, in reality EVERYTHING HURTS. I know as chronic pain patients we’re often made to put on a brave front. You can be honest here though. It’s a safe space. #ChronicPain #Spoonie #CheckInWithMe #Support #MentalHealth

I miss my life before I got this chronic illness.. I miss being able to actually enjoy things without feeling worse afterwards. I miss being able to do things without being scared of its consequences. Eating, shopping.. And above all; living. #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #Support #Grief

I like to practice saying affirmations to myself like this one from Kate Allan’s “Thera-pets:” my body deserves real care and kindness and so do I. #MightyPets #MightyTogether #TheMighty #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #Support #Selflove #affirmations

In some ways, “good” health is a construct. What does that even mean? Is there a blanket definition? How do we each define it? What is within our means to pursue it, let alone achieve it?

But if there’s one thing we know about Mighties, is that we’re always trying to take steps forward (even if it’s just an inch in the right direction) to feel a little — or a lot — better. So we’re curious what you’re been trying lately. A new medication? A new coping technique? Have you joined a support group or an outpatient hospitalization program? Getting more movement in? Setting better boundaries to preserve your energy? Tweaked your diet?

Share your progress with us below. 💓

Just wanted to check in with my fellow Mighty members to see how y’all have been lately? Good I hope or at least managing. I have to go for some genetic testing soon. Wish me luck! 🤞🏻 #Spoonie #ChronicIllness #CheckInWithMe #MightyTogether
