Rare Disease

So much of your energy gets spent trying to earn someone else’s approval.
You shape your choices, your words, even your dreams around how others might perceive them.

But stop for a moment and ask yourself:
What difference does their approval or disapproval truly make to who you are?

The peace you’re looking for begins the moment you stop trying to be understood by everyone, and instead, understand yourself.

You don’t need permission to be who you already are.

How much of your life has been shaped by trying to please others?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

Hi, Mighty fam! ⭐

We’ll be exploring and talking all about traditions this week. Let’s start with the basics.

A tradition is a set of practices, beliefs, thought patterns, or customs that have been handed down from generation to generation by an individual or group of people. Some traditions we may be familiar with are the celebration of birthdays or holidays, but they can also be cultural, societal, religious, community-created, health-related, or determined by a family or group of friends. Traditions help us to foster connection with one another and also transfer information or heritage through storytelling and shared history.

What is your favorite tradition? Why is that tradition important to you?

Let us know in the comments below. 🙂⬇️

One thing about Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks is that she’s a big planner. When it comes to time management, she relies on her trusted calendar and handwritten notes to guide her through each week. Juggling daily tasks can feel overwhelming if she can’t clearly see what each step looks like. So what is she planning for today, you may ask? An adventure with her younger brother as they tackle some important errands.

What’s something you’re planning for? 📝📋

The weekend is approaching yet again. We made it through the week (round of applause to us 👏).

For today’s self-care challenge, let’s brainstorm some ways we can foster our own creativity this weekend. Some ideas: writing, taking a walk, or cleaning up some clutter so you have a more comfortable workspace to be in!

Wishing you all so many creative vibes in the coming couple of days.

Sometimes I look back on some of my relationships, the ones where they already had another boyfriend before they ended up dumping meeven my ex wife, and I think how cruel that actually is. My last relationship i gave it my all she had five kids and I helped her with Dr appointments taking the kids to school helping around her house and even in my condition but I did it for her kids it gave me a sense of purpose . Before I met her I was already disabled with 6 of the eight back surgeries already done she said had no problem with that

The relationship lasted eight months she was only using me until her supposed ex husband got out of jail. All the romance she threw my way and I reciprocated I was in heaven.

Long boring story but I am really starting to question who I am how could I let this woman walk all over me e and not see it coming. I consider myself not to be a dumbass but it wasn't only her i have let people do this to me for a long time even supposed good friends . What makes a human being be so stupid when it comes to being able to detect someone is hurting you? Maybe it's my low self esteem humble people are easy to con but I don't understand why I let it go so far 💙 #MDD #PeripheralNeuropathy #allidynia #dd d#Diabetes #Disability #hyperalges ia#MuscularDystrophy #RareDisease

When I find myself overthinking, I like to ground myself through visualization. I focus on specific moments I know well—like walking along the boardwalk, feeling the sand beneath my feet, or standing under a tall tree in the summer or fall. In those memories, I can sense the calm and safety that come with being fully present.

Sometimes, I even create my own safe spaces in my mind, imagining places I’ve never been before.

Describe a place or space that brings you joy and helps you feel safe. What does that place look like for you? What do you see, feel, touch, and smell?
