I’m new here!

Hi, my name is TiredKaren. I live with chronic headaches, chronic fatigue, and vasculitis. I work hard at making myself and my life as happy as I can, because life is too short to spend being unhappy.

Happy Diabirthday to me

I got my CWD (Children with Diabetes) award for 25 years of type 1 diabetes! Just wanted to share this milestone. It was weirdly emotional to get the medal in the mail and be recognized for one of my hardest invisible battles. 💙

And no, I did not eat too much sugar as a kid. It was a total coincidence being diagnosed on Halloween! Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. 👍
*Been asked that question soooo much* 😅

Feeling Like A Burden?🥹 You’re Not!❤️‍🩹

As a person living with chronic illness, sometimes I need special assistance, attention, and support. However, I never want to inconvenience anyone, especially those who love me, so I try to push down the feelings of being a burden.

But when I think about it from an objective perspective, we all need help and support from time to time, regardless of our health conditions! And I shouldn’t be so hard on myself or judge myself for something that I can’t help or didn’t ask for.

We are all human, so let’s help others when we can and receive that same support when we need it!
Love and hugs, Wendy🌻❤️

Restarted Grad School Anndddd My Conditions Are Still Eating Me Up 😭

I restarted grad school for the nth time! I put support in place with my Fibro, FND, anxiety and depression etc. But my body and mind are still going ape sh#% 🙄

It's like my body is settling...Very, very slowly, but my course is sooo fast paced that you need to be on it from the jump.

I just don't know what to do anymore 😞 I actually am enjoying what I'm learning this time, but don't have the energy or decent enough health to manage studying it effectively.

We're only in week 2/3 and I am sooo behind, have only attended ONE class and we have mocks in a couple of weeks 🫠

I just feel like a failure. Like I'm letting down everyone supporting me, while also letting life pass me by.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Megan. I've taken a LOA from work due to PEM (symptom of Long Covid and/or CFS) and possible mold illness. I'm not sure how to live life in my current state. The exhaustion is extreme. Any suggestions?

The “Little Things” Are BIG!🌻

Hello, my loves!🥰 I went to Central Market a couple of days ago and purchased my favorite flowers, stargazer lilies! They smell sweet and vibrant, with a hint of soft perfume and an unearthly depth, range, and dimension. The stargazer lily’s vibrant, pink accents, on its soft, white canvas bring life into my space and embody such grace and sophistication.

Their soft, bold, sensual fragrance fibrates throughout my space and fills my entire room, which brings me so much joy and peace. And although these $10 flowers from a grocery store were just a “little” thing, it will continue to share its beauty and fragrance with me throughout the week. And THAT’S a big thing!

Let’s embrace those little things that happen in our lives daily and extract the joy and meaning that they can bring! Love, Wendy🌸💗

What is a “Little Thing” in your life that brings your heart joy?!😍 #ChronicFatigue #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #ChronicEpsteinBarrVirus #Fibromyalgia #MentalHealth #Depression #MultipleChemicalSensitivity
