Best things about being disabled:

Not necessarily being in a flare up, but it’s been two weeks of things not being right and each day you lose more hope that it’ll ever be okay again

All food and drinks are making you sick, even water churns your stomach

The weather can make your writhe in pain

Not being able to do anything, watching TV is exhausting, even scrolling on your phone requires a modicum of attention

Sitting upright is painful

Lying down is painful

Keeping your eyes open is effort

Wishing you could be the old you, the healthy you

I took Biscuit to the er because he threw up 5 times and was making weird noises. It sounds kind of crazy but I could tell he was trying to tell me something was wrong. 900 dollars later and while I don't have a diagnosis yet, the x rays showed he has swollen lymph nodes. Which is a possible sign of cancer. While I have some savings, I could not afford cancer treatment for him if it is that. This is my emotional support cat. Idk what I'm going to do if the diagnosis comes back as cancerous after testing.

You have survived 100% of your worst flare days, and you will survive this one. Just hold on.

Hey, July, it's me again. Big Birthday this year, Another year... We're forty now. A little older, a little wiser, and feeling more alive than ever, right? We made it. I know things were rough back then. For years, even. Remember when you wanted to quit, when we thought we'd never be okay, that life was always going to be a struggle?

It's been a long journey, full of tough times, lots of silent struggles, lessons we didn't ask for, and pain we didn't think we could handle. It felt like too much so many times. Always second-guessing our choices.

But somehow, we kept going.

I'm not saying everything's perfect now. It's not. We still have bad days. We're still healing and growing. I still feel the past sometimes. But it's better now, and I'm better. We are better. Unlearning so much and learning who we are and who we wanna be. I know you'd be proud of how far we've come. And I'm proud of you too.

So, thanks for staying in the fight. For taking each hard lesson and building steps. For planting the strength I didn't know we had. For showing up even when you had nothing left. Thanks for surviving. You never gave up, and that gave me the chance to be here today. And that means everything.

Sometimes I wish I could go into a 24 hour coma, once a year.

my body woke me up today and chose violence

If atmospheric pressure would stop going up and down like a ride at Six Flags I would deeply appreciate it

Whump tip of the day:

Pain tolerance that’s built up through practice fades away and needs to be relearned if they’re faced with similar pain months or years later. Doesn’t take as long to learn again but it’s NOT 100%
