it isn’t permanent and it will eventually pass."
"Above all, I’ve realized it’s important to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace to handle the challenges you face." — Nicole Pedra, 37, diagnosed with #MultipleSclerosis at age 10

Captured the last of the sun shining through my mango and plumeria trees yesterday. Thought this looked kind of interesting. In all honesty, I'm experiencing a bit of burnout. Working in #Caregiving and maintaining a household/family/relationship when you struggle with high #Anxiety #Depression and the effects of #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder can be really difficult. Focusing on the small moments right now. How are you doing out there?

Sometimes it comes from someone I have no idea who they are, but it hits me just right (or wrong). #@$%!
Has this ever happened to you? How do you deal with stuff like this?

You're not just tired — you're MS tired.
How many nappers do we have here?
How many extra coffee drinkers?
What tips can you share with the community to help with fatigue?
Yawn, that was hard. Bye.

The sky early this morning, a tiny gecko on my window, a lollipop plant, and golden trumpets that my clients and I saw during our walk at the park today. Just some little things that brought me joy today. How are you doing out there?

A study at Wayne State Univ. in Detroit shows improved gait & balance, changes in the brain, and >lower numbers of falls.< This is all supervised, of course, and more study is needed.
My wife will be pleased because she swears by its benefits. Me, I can barely walk going forwards!
Uh, any takers?

I always feel the need to post photos along with my words because it catches people's attention. The truth is, I struggle with friendships and relationships in general. I've tended to minimize myself and my needs to fit into spaces where I don't quite belong. We all crave connection, but there's an added element of complexity when you're living with disorders, disabilities, and/or mental health issues. That's all I've got today. I hope you're doing ok out there 🖤
