Spoon Theory

Sorry, I’ve been a bit absent recently! I hope you didn’t think I’d forgotten about you all? You’ll be glad to hear that my chiropractor fixed me so now I’m back (pun intended 🩻🤗🤣)!! My body may be held together by Kinesiology Tape but it helps when you can have some fun with it! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I’d be lost, in agony, and falling apart, without my amazing chiropractor!!
👏🏻😍😘💝

As it’s the end of what has been a very difficult year for so many of us, for one reason or another. So, rather than face the fast approaching New Year with sadness, disappointment, and dread, I would like to try to end the year on a positive note by thinking of the GOOD things that have happened to me in 2022. Three GOOD things that happened to me this year are:
1) Discovered a new hobby,
2) Attended events that had been rescheduled from 2020,
3) Becoming part of an amazing FND support network!

Can you name 3 GOOD things that have happened to you this year?

If you have spent a lot of time in hospitals or institutions or forced to lie in bed, rest can be very triggering. When you spend long periods of your life forced not to do anything, rest can feel like a punishment. Medical and psychiatric trauma are real.

At this time of year, we can get a lot of messaging about rest and productivity that lack nuance. So this post is a shoutout to all of our sick, crip, mad, and disabled community out there who struggle with finding Crip space for rest. You are valid too.
