I know, I know… but here it is. Consider it.

We are two friends both with chronic and mental illness, who decided we wanted to bring to the forefront, and open up real conversations about, how we are coping with our diagnosises. We use humor, personal experiences and scientific studies with what can potentially help; has helped; and what we are willing to try to stay sane in the midst of what we’ve been saddled with by life.
We’re also doing this to try to end stigma, raise awareness as well as discourage toxic positivity and ableism to take more root in society.

We would love your support and also your input on what coping skills you all use- join the conversation! Follow us on instagram @ creative.copes and on your favorite listening platform and comment away! The more we talk, the more mainstream it will become.

practicing daily affirmations

“If you are battling against #NegativeThoughts every day, you are not alone. Just like our body needs clean fuel to function properly, our mind needs #positive energy to win that battle.”

I am forever on a journey of learning how to love all of me.

I try to focus on what I can control and make peace with what I can’t.

I am blessed beyond measures.

Whatever I accomplish today is enough and so am I.

Though times can be difficult, they are only ever a short passing phase.

Breathe in love, exhale hate.

I am forever conquering my struggles; defeating my darkness one moment at a time.

I am a #survivor

I feel that I am not taken seriously by some people... like since my diagnosis I've lost my credibility/ my personal power ..

Last night, I was kicked out of an establishment because of my service dog even after stating the law. What can I do now to pursue this? #

#52SmallThings I believe the more we educate and talk about our conditions among others the easier it becomes to #challenge #stampoutstigma #hiddenhealth #Epilepsy #PTSD #MentalHealth #MentalIllnessStigma #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthCare #Neurodiversity #Neurologyawareness #Arrhythmia #LivingWithPOTS #PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome #Potsie #AutonomicDysfunction #POTS #potsdoesnthaveme #Healthtech
I admit and accept it isn’t, nor has It been easy and has been a very long road at times! but I would like to unite others to #Raiseawareness “we are the experts of our conditions” So who better to educate...
