This is so important. I can’t even recall how many times I’ve been called a “cheater” or “slut” because I’m polyamorous.

friendly reminder that life with a chronic illness is really, really hard and can cause even the most trivial of tasks to become gargantuan. you’re not imagining it. never let anyone tell you otherwise

Where Did My Brain Go?

I forget everything. I have trouble finishing my sentences. Birthdays, meetings, the point I was trying to make.

I have two degrees. I teach. Yet, I feel like my head is mush. I write it down, twice. But I still forget.

And they say, “Please, you’re so young. How can you forget?” I don’t know. I don’t know.

And that hurts my heart. We still judge even when we know someone has a chronic problem.

I’m antisocial, yet social. I don’t talk to people first, but when someone talks to me first I’m up for talking to them. Some days I’ll be really talkative and friendly and other days I’m just in my shell like nah today ain’t the day for socializing.

We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we’re able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.

To students with eating disorders & other mental health concerns:

As finals week approaches, remember to put in your best effort to fuel your body properly. You cannot expect to do very well on exams when our body is not well taken care of. (This includes adequate rest and hygiene, too.)

If it’s any help at all, know that your brain uses 25% of your total calories taken in on an average day. When studying/thinking hard, it’s going to be using more. So, do not be too surprised if you experience being “extra hungry” these next few weeks. You ARE. You NEED the “extra” food that your body is asking for. It’s not necessarily “stress eating”.

Much luck and love to you all! 💛
