Have you ever seen the film, “Five Feet Apart?” If you haven’t, go now. And I mean run or dance, but don’t walk. It is one of the most incredible films that displays living life with a rare disorder and/or chronic illness.

Sometimes I see similarities from my life portrayed so well in the movie. One of my very best friends has lupus and I have Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).

You could say there’s always something interesting going on. I met my friend at a mutual friends wedding four years ago, and it’s been like magic ever since.

Practicing Self-Care Looks Different for Everyone
Self-care is not always enjoying what you hold dear — frequently we are reminded to prioritize indulging in adventurous hobbies to fulfill our own care responsibilities. These moments hold great value and can certainly be a form of self-care, however, the grandiosity of these actions is not what deems them worthy of such categorization. I often find in discussion, many individuals with a variety of chronic health conditions feel they’ve “failed” at self-care or don’t know how to “do it right.”

Fighting for Validation When Doctors Don't Take Your Chronic Illness Seriously
When you are first diagnosed with something like anxiety and depression or fibromyalgia and neuropathy, or the first time those conditions are thrown around at a doctor’s appointment, it can feel like a huge relief. You finally have an explanation; you finally have someone listening to you and taking your pain seriously, it’s huge.  Many of us spend months, years even fighting to be taken seriously, begging for our doctors to hear us, to stop what they are doing and pay attention to us.

20 Ways the Trauma of Suicide Loss Lingers
Loss and grief are a natural part of life. Sadly nobody lives forever. Spouses, partners, family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, pets — everyone has a finite amount of time in this world. When someone passes away, whether from natural causes, illness, accident or trauma, people will often congregate together to show support and offer condolences because that feeling of loss is a universal emotion that everyone understands. The memory of those who have passed lives on in the hearts and minds of all those who knew them, as well as in photographs, traditions and stories shared as we reminisce. When people pass away, we celebrate their life even as we mourn their death.

Stop Making Chronic Illness a Competition
Out of everything we have to experience under the broad umbrella of chronic illness, I think many would agree getting the diagnosis itself can be the most difficult challenge. The constant appointments, having to explain what you’re experiencing, even though some symptoms are hard to put into words, experiencing a lack of faith in the medical system when it becomes a trial-and-error for a doctor to understand you and what you’re going through. It’s a collaborative effort and often is timely and frustrating, to say the least. Many of us spend time alone questioning if what we’re going through is “real” and whether or not it is something we can just “suck up” and live with, without having to continue to run around with doubt.

A Look Inside My World With OCD
A seemingly “normal” day can flip in an instant. A single touch, thought or action can change everything. A loss of control if only for a moment can unravel your entire day, consumed by a singular feeling: fear. Many people experience fear, but in some people, fear isn’t just a worry — it consumes every thought and action. Fear doesn’t discriminate: age, race, sexuality or religion, we will all fear “true” fear at some point in our lives. This is what living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is like.

This Isn’t What I Thought Recovery From C-PTSD Looked Like
One day last year I shaved my head. People around me panicked, so I told them I did it because my hair was so damaged from decades of hair dye. The truth was, I didn’t fully understand why I did it. I shaved my head because I was constantly recalling having my hair pulled. Over the years, I had had my hair pulled by my parents, teachers, nurses, police and security, mostly as a way to force me to make eye contact, which as an autistic, I hated. These memories were plaguing me 24/7, even though it had been nearly 15 years since it last happened. I couldn’t shake the memories and this left me in tears for hours at a time. So I shaved my head. Problem solved. No one could pull my hair again.

The Two List Strategy starts with an explanation of Good Days and Bad Days. With either chronic mental health issues like depression or chronic physical health issues, like lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis, you have Good Days and Bad Days, because the conditions flare up, and on a good day, some things are easier, and on a bad day, some things are harder, as the conditions wax and wane. Lots of things factor in to whether or not a day turns out “Bad” or “Good,” including stress, sleep, what you eat, how you eat, your coping mechanisms, your environment and many other factors as well.
