How do you cope with health-related stress?

Happy Friday, Mighties! 💎

All the responsibilities, tasks, and demands that come with managing, understanding, and living with health conditions or disabilities can be stressful. From doctor visits and appointment planning to waiting for and understanding lab and test results; from navigating uncertainty to tracking new or ongoing symptoms and medications; from advocating for yourself to learning new ways to build habits that support your needs — it can all feel overwhelming at times.

We’re right here with you in that process and on that journey. 🙋‍♀️

What are some ways you cope with health-related stress? What do you find most helpful for balancing, organizing, and prioritizing your health responsibilities? And what tips would you share with someone who’s new to or still figuring out their journey?

What’s on your “need to get to” list?

As we adjust, change, and revisit our daily, weekly, or monthly to-do lists, there are tasks, responsibilities, or goals that naturally rise to the top as priorities—whether because of the time of year or other life factors. Whether they’re health- or self-care–related, or part of our “adulting” duties, what’s something currently on your “need to get to” priority list?

I want to release guilt around _________.

Ah, guilt. It can be a difficult feeling to navigate and process, and it can show up in many different circumstances. When living with one or more health conditions, guilt can surface in ways that affect how we interact with ourselves and those around us.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has felt an immense amount of guilt when she is struggling and needs extra support. At times, it makes her feel like she is burdening others with her recurring symptoms. She wants to release the guilt that comes with having to rely on others. It is OK for her to receive support whenever she needs it.

What is something you want to release guilt around?

💌 Gentle note: You are worthy of love, community, support, recovery, and relief, no matter what guilt tells you. Sending lots of hugs! 💛

A symptom I’m most accustomed to managing is ______.

When you’ve lived with chronic illness—diagnosed or otherwise—there may be certain symptoms you become used to managing or even expecting, especially if they’ve been present for a long time or for as long as you can remember. For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks , that symptom is insomnia or irregular sleep patterns. While it remains one of the most challenging symptoms to balance, she’s learned to recognize when she needs extra support.

What’s a symptom you’re used to managing, or one you’ve lived with the longest?

What’s something you find "easier said than done"?

When we talk and share with others—giving and receiving advice or exchanging ideas—we can sometimes drift into hypothetical scenarios and idealized ways of accomplishing tasks, following through with plans, or achieving intentions and goals. This can be especially true when we’re talking with people who may not fully understand the depth of our lived experience.

While it would be amazing to accomplish everything we set out to do, we know all too well that our current health, mindset, energy level, and a myriad of other circumstances can get in the way. Things change, and we often have to adjust accordingly. Even if something makes sense in theory, real-life circumstances can make it much more challenging to follow through.

So, what’s something you find "easier said than done" right now or even in general?
