Chronic Fatigue

hi fellow mighties. this is my first post in a new series i created based on my experiences, both life-giving and life-draining, since being struck by a debilitating disease 2 ½ years ago. i’m quite far from being an expert on chronic illness (is anybody ever?) but my life will forever be altered into before and after. let’s just say i am certainly still figuring out after. in the meantime, i hope any sentiments i can share offer some support and solace to others walking the same path. sometimes it just helps to know you’re not alone. sometimes it just helps to know there are others in the same situation who have learned not just to survive but thrive. and sometimes, just sometimes, we can find helping hearts along the way who are willing to weave some love and light into our lives if we find the courage and vulnerability to let them in. feel free to share this with someone who needs to hear it

for all of us who struggle with guilt and self-worth over how much our hearts want to help others but our hearts need to help ourselves first 🙏🏼❤️

It has been exactly 5 years, 5 months, and 5 days since I was diagnosed with lupus.

The howling wolf has tried to take over every aspect of my life- from clotting my blood, to causing weight gain and joint pain.

I have tried so hard to make my life something worth living.

But my last labs came back and I am no longer in remission.

I don't know what this means for treatment. Apparently I was on the bottom wrung.

I'm scared. I'm trying so hard not to be afraid and to tell myself that it's fine, this is just a part of my life now.

C'est la vie.

But I can't help but wonder, why me?

Thinking about you today, and wishing those who celebrate, a very happy Easter and/or happy Passover 💜

Wishing us all a Wonderfully Lovely Easter Sunday. I have been shunned years ago by my family (siblings & their families) mainly because I suffer #MentalHealth issues, & they'd rather not be reminded that it runs in the family. So I'll be alone with my cat, Honey, for Easter. I'm so grateful for my cat. She's my lifesaver. #Depression #BipolarDepression #Schizophrenia #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #PTSD #Fibromyalgia #ChronicFatigue #ChronicPain
