using mobility aids is an act of self love, it's something to be proud of. how could you be ashamed when you take care of your health and listen to your body? no shame! we're all here doing good because we don't neglect ourselves

iā€™m chronically ill and i havenā€™t been to a concert since my symptoms started getting worse, but i have tickets to see one of my favorite bands this summer and i really want to enjoy it without having to spend like a week in bed afterward. does anyone have tips for concerts with pots, especially when itā€™ll probably be hot outside? the venue doesnā€™t allow bags but i have pockets šŸ‘

When other people say theyā€™re dizzy, they mean ā€˜phew! My equilibrium is a bit off! In a just a few moments Iā€™ll be fine!ā€™
When I say Iā€™m dizzy, I mean something very different.
I mean that I can see black spots in my vision, and I canā€™t tell if this is going to be the time I pass out.
It means that the world is swimming underneath my feet, stretching and distorting like an obstacle course even when itā€™s just a straight, flat path.
It means thereā€™s so much pressure in my head and not nearly enough.
It means that I can feel my heart speed up and beat harder, trying to adjust to the new gravity, just because Iā€™ve shifted slightly.
It means I can feel the nausea rising in my stomach and the bile come up my throat.
It means that walking is a challenge. Getting a snack is a challenge, going to the bathroom is a challenge. Sitting up is a challenge.
So, when I say Iā€™m dizzy, Iā€™m trying to dumb it down so that you can understand a fraction of what Iā€™m feeling. Not that Iā€™m not feeling it. On good days, itā€™s a hindrance. On bad days it stops me doing anything. Stop telling me that ā€˜just being dizzyā€™ doesnā€™t make me ā€˜that disabledā€™. You barely know the half of it.

the only fun part about living alone with chronic pain is that no one can stop you from cursing loudly the entire time you are getting out of bed
