Thriving, no longer just surviving.

able bodied people will never understand the constant rationing of energy to survive. Every bit of movement and energy is calculated and has consequences; insluding the types of food I eat, the meds I take, and even the emotions I feel--

Had weather warnings for snow... So it rains for hours

Happy new year my loves 💕

Theres always a lot of bad news in the world. Please just enjoy 80 street dogs I feed having their big treat day today. What a day they had. Unbelievable scenes 🥰🙏

@NiallHarbison Bless this sweet soul 🥺

She has never known kind human touch. Along with the combination of the massive surgery it’s a lot for her to take in (2/7)

A big update on Jada the dog who had the huge growth removed. She is still terrified and looking at walls but there has been some huge progress. Today was a wonderful day for her (1/7) 🧵

this genre of JinMao holding hands 🥺

@1littlepiglet This is so cute 🥺😭

I wish I had learnt about pacing earlier in my health journey. I used to push through my pain & fatigue. It was really hard for me to accept that resting did not mean I was weak or that I wasn’t trying hard enough. I felt like a failure, to be honest. But now I really understand what pacing with EDS is and what it is not. I was able to implement strategies that I needed to find a sustainable rhythm to manage energy and avoid the boom and bust I used to experience regularly.

This boy full of mayhem is named after Ozzy Osbourne 🥺 Both Ozzy's helped me through so many hard times in my life. I've always been beyond grateful.

I'm absolutely heartbroken to hear Ozzy Osbourne died. I've sat for days not quite believing it, he will truly be missed 🖤

Maomao about Jinshi: "What a clingy person." Also Maomao:

As a physician, I’m just not so sure our brains were made to stream this much grief and tragedy day in, day out, while not being able to do anything to stop the hurt/suffering.

Don’t beg. They knew you were breaking and still chose silence. Don’t forget ,they watched you struggle and did nothing.

your depression and anxiety are lying to you you are loved and going to be okay

I absolutely HATE the idea of ‘well someone else has it worse’ like NO. Your pain and trauma are completely valid despite what someone else went through..

I'm having a bad brain day
