Hi, I'm Julie. I'm a writer, a retiree, and someone who has been diagnosed with adhesive arachnoiditis. I'm looking for ways to increase public awareness and to find community.

Everyone will have a different version of you in their mind. To some, you’ll be brave. To others, too emotional. To one person, kind. To another, selfish.
The truth is — no one sees you as you truly are. They see you through the filter of their own pain, their own fears, their own expectations.
When you live for approval, you become a reflection of what everyone else wants — and lose sight of what you need. But when you live by what feels true to your heart, you begin to recover a kind of peace that no opinion can touch.
Depression thrives on self-judgment. Freedom begins when you stop asking, “What will they think?” and start asking, “What feels right for me?”
What’s one way you can live more true to your heart this week?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. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:

Hi Mighties! 🎖️
Monday has knocked at our doors, and a new week has begun. 🚪
With the unpredictability of health symptoms and the constant shifts they can bring to our days, it can sometimes feel out of reach to stick to a consistent schedule or routine — we know how that feels! 🙋♀️
But imagine you could craft your ideal day. What would it look like? How would it begin? What would you prioritize? And how might it shape the rest of your week?

Happy Monday, Mighties!
It’s time for a new self-care challenge! This week’s #52SmallThings theme is prevention.
Let’s start our week off by talking a bit about stress management — what it is and how we can take actionable steps to stop it in its tracks. Although not always preventable, we may find ourselves experiencing some level of stress on a daily or weekly basis (which is totally normal, by the way!). What’s most important is exploring what ways are best in managing that stress, and that may look different for each of us.
What coping strategies do you find most effective in calming yourself during stressful situations?

Your mind is wired to notice what’s missing.
It scans for what could be better, what you haven’t achieved yet, what you still need to fix.
But gratitude interrupts that cycle.
When you slow down and acknowledge what’s already here — the people who care about you, the roof over your head, the moments of laughter, even your breath — you remind your mind that you already have more than enough.
Abundance doesn’t begin with more money, more success, or more things.
It begins when you stop searching for “more” and start noticing what’s already good.
That awareness shifts everything — because the moment you feel grateful, you are no longer lacking.
What’s one thing you’re grateful for today that you usually overlook?

Another morning waking up in debilitating pain forced to take pain meds if I want to walk today. I've been at this for so long I can't remember what a normal life looks like a day when I didn't have to take meds or be able to walk with out full leg braces. I'm 58 had seven spine fusions and at the beginning of the year diagnosed with a rare muscular dystrophy which is taking out all my muscle slowly. I write these posts because I have no one to talk to and unfortunately there is nobody on the muscular dystrophy forum and I am frustrated because there is no cure or even treatment to slow it down. I don't think it's all dismal I find happiness when I can and let my brain be distracted from the pain by healthy conversation or doing what I can do gardening with my mom.#Anxiety ##Chro nicpain#RareDisease #MuscularDystrophy #DegenerativeDiscDisease #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Disability #OCD #PeripheralNeuropathy #alldynia #hyperalsesia #MDD

Let every voice of fear be silenced!
Let every anxious feeling be shut down;
and every dark thought that said you are broken, …or forgotten,
be CRUSHED under this Sweet Release!

and the future is declared righteous!
Omnipotence pour over your spirit and be released!
Sweet release!
Thank You Jesus!
