Rare Disease

Navigating the ins and outs, unpredictability, and inconsistency of living with a health condition (or several) can make it complex and difficult to explain, describe, or share your experiences. We definitely get it! Sometimes using analogies or comparisons can help clarify what it feels like to others or even make more sense to you. For instance, some might describe it as a rollercoaster ride—full of unexpected twists and turns. Others might say it feels like trying to solve a maze without a map, constantly searching for a way forward.

What does your health feel like today?

Forgiving others? It can be done.
Forgiving ourselves? Depending on what you’re going through, this might be a little trickier (but nevertheless important).

If you fall into the latter category, today’s prompt is for you. Granting forgiveness toward ourselves is just as important as understanding and coming to terms with our past actions, behaviors, or habits in order to heal.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks wants to forgive herself for how she spoke to herself all the years she grappled with perfectionism. She wants to be more gentle with how she interacts with herself and how she manages rejection and setbacks in her life.

What’s something you want to forgive yourself for?

Expressing your thoughts and feelings, advocating for yourself, and speaking up is not only brave but also necessary. While not everyone may reciprocate the support and validation you seek, remember that you deserve to be seen and heard. It’s important to continue seeking out the people, places, and spaces that help you feel welcomed and comfortable. We hope that our Mighty community can be one of those places for you! 🏆

When was the last time you felt seen and heard by someone? How did that moment make you feel?

As a health community, much of our lived experience is, in some way (or all the ways!), impacted by the conditions we ourselves or someone we care about manages on a daily basis.

Our bodies, minds, and emotions influence many facets of our lives, from our daily routines to how we interact with ourselves and those around us. Forgiveness can also play a role as we navigate the ins and outs of those often challenging and sometimes unpredictable or inconsistent conditions.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks health taught her that it’s OK to forgive herself for the unhelpful habits she’s developed growing up. She learned it’s also OK to speak up for herself now and change what she needs to in order to live a life that’s better for her.

What has your health taught you about forgiveness?
