#tips for meds

[iplaywithstring]

Did you know that if you mix protein powder with just a tablespoon or two of coffee, it will dissolve pretty easily and then you can pour the rest of your coffee in while stirring and end up with a nice latte-like drink?

Don't try to mix protein powder into the whole cup, it won't work well and you'll get lots of lumps. Just enough liquid to mix works much better, and once it's all smooth you're good to go.

This works well if you need something with your morning meds but really prefer to just have coffee and not eat.

Protein shake also works but then you get less coffee by volume.

as sundays are my days off - i'd like to reflect on may.

i never expected that as april came to a close i'd find the strength to genuinely return to my studies and hobbies with discipline for the first time in over a year.

with 100+ recorded study hours during the month of may, consistency and progress in my yoga practice, and a rediscovered passion for studying the law, i could not have asked for a better month.

oh, how april showers really do bring may flowers!

oh! how i have bloomed with a mind full of sunshine instead of dreary clouds!

i pray june brings you discipline even if it doesn't bring you motivation.

My collection of tips for people who are just now developing a chronic illness or just now realizing they have one. ((As someone who has only been struggling with mine for a little over a year))

-dont blame yourself for not being able to do what you used to. Your body used to do its job to a better degree than it does now. You are not lazy bc your taking more breaks or bc you cant get out of bed. Your taking care of yourself. I struggle with this all the time. Especially considering my living situation. Shit doesnt get done when I dont do it but I simply cant sometimes.

-that leads me into my next point. Take advantage of your good days, but dont overwork yourself just bc your "not feeling chronically ill." When you have the energy, start the laundry, do the dishes, take out the trash, but still take breaks as needed

-keep a set of your meds literally everywhere. I have a pill box I specifically keep in my car with a weeks worth of my morning meds. I have a three sets of my most important meds in my bag at all times. I have pain meds stashed in every crevasse they could be stashed. Trust me, when your running late and you get half way to work before you realize you havent taken your meds your gonna want to be able to reach into your glove box and take them rq

-buy the mobility aid. You think you need a brace bc a specific joint hurts like hell and wont stay in place?? Get it. You cant walk for long periods of time and think a cane would help?? Get it. You think a shower chair would do you good so you dont pass out with shampoo in your eyes and naked?? Get it. Just get it. Walmart sells canes for under ten bucks and they work really well. They also have extra tips in a two back for 2.50. Dollar tree has braces and like 12 different pain creams. Five below also has some braces and quite a few pain relief options. You can also get them cheap on sites like shein or Amazon and sometimes depop. ((I know I know, dont support those sites but a bitch is broke and two bucks for compression socks is a fucking steal)) You can also sometimes find wheelchairs and canes and crutches at goodwill. It isnt a guarantee but its a good option if you need smt cheap. ((Be careful and check that their not broken before you buy))

-take the pain meds. Put on the pain cream. Ice that joint. You dont get brownie points for toughing it out and it will help your health in the long run. If someone looks at you like your weak for taking smt to help with your pain, their the problem, not you.

-create a good support system. Find the people who will drop their brand new iced coffee to stop you from slamming your head into the ground during a fainting spell. They are out there. Find them and hold onto them for dear fucking life

-try to make the best of what you can do every day. Put on cute earrings. Buy cute compression socks. Get braces that fit your vibe. Put stickers on your mobility aids. Put pins on your bag. Carry a cute weighted stuffie for when you need some extra comfort. Make the most of what you are capable of doing.

Today I realised that I’m not afraid of failing.

My worst fear is doing my best and it not being enough. To the point that if I’m not doing perfectly academically (or close to it) I literally get sick and I get really bad mentally. As if my body and my mind wanted to give me excuses for failing or getting a lower grade. Because if my best is not enough I’m hopeless, right? Cause what more can I do?

And this is just nonsense. Cause we’re not static: we’re always evolving. If my best wasn’t enough this time, I’m gonna work on it and it’s going to better the next time. And so on until I get what I want.

This really took a lot of weight off my shoulders.
