I made cake this past Memorial Day. I had planned to make either jelly-filled cupcakes or a mostly-from-scratch two-layer cake with strawberry and whipped cream filling.

With my rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flaring, I made a last-minute decision to make something involving a little less time standing.

I started with a blue velvet box mix, hacked the heck out of it — milk, vanilla, mayonnaise, extra egg — plopped it into a 9×13 glass pan, and into the oven it went.

I Wish I Would Have Known More About Miscarriage Before Having One
The moment I realized I was pregnant, I tried to dial my emotions down. I used the term “cautiously optimistic” because I wanted to make sure that I was not overly attached to my pregnancy in case I would become one in four people who miscarry. I only told a handful of friends and always made sure to include the sentence “We are excited, but I’m only telling people who could support me through a miscarriage right now.” Even knowing the statistics, and my increased likelihood because of my ongoing battle with PCOS and hypothyroidism, I was still excited.

Why I Have to Keep My Chronic Illness a Secret to Keep My Career
Before my identity was intrinsically intertwined with my (sometimes visible) invisible illness, I identified first and foremost as a performer and singer. I started at a very young age and it became my dream to perform as my career. Long story short, my dream is in the process of coming true after working hard for many years through university and postgraduate study.

Please Understand the Unpredictability of My Chronic Illnesses
I woke up at 7 a.m. today after 10 hours of sleep already feeling dizzy, exhausted, and nauseous. My hands are both swollen, both of my feet are tingling and sore, I have a tight muscle in my neck that causes a persistent headache and facial numbness that will not release (even with physical therapy), and my SI joint is out of place causing significant lower back pain. I am 35 years old, mom to three kids, and I feel like I’m living in the body of someone who is 85. I know without even having started my day that today is going to be rough. I already feel how I normally feel at the end of the day and the day hasn’t even started.

5 Things Not to Say to Someone Who Is 'No-Contact' With an Abusive Parent
Whether you know an individual who is estranged from their mother and/or father or you are one, it’s hard to grasp going no-contact with a parent. Never again having communication with them, seeing them, having them as a part of your life. For those on the outside, it’s even harder. Sometimes people unknowingly cause you pain voicing their own opinion about your very personal decision.

Yes, People With Chronic Illnesses and Disabilities Can Be Jerks
I sat on the toilet backward, still trying to get it to stop running. I had just gotten through yelling at both of my children for not helping. Ashamed of my behavior, I looked at my kids and said, “I’m sorry for acting like a jerk and yelling at you.” My daughter looked at me and said, “Dad, it’s OK. It’s just the Parkinson’s talking.” I stopped and looked at her and said, “Don’t let me off that easy. This has nothing to do with Parkinson’s. I was just being a jerk.”

The Biggest Thing That Therapy Has Taught Me About My Anxiety
I’ve been in and out of therapy since college. And each time I’ve gone to therapy, I’ve learned something new about myself. Finding the right therapist is a challenge, but every therapist I’ve seen has taught me something about myself. We always think we know ourselves, but when an objective person — like a therapist — is speaking to you and asking you thoughtful questions, you start to realize some truths about yourself you never understood before.

How I'm Learning to Forgive Myself for Struggling With Chronic Illness
I sit there alone, locked in my own thoughts. Silently, I beat myself up for not being the man I think I should be. Daily, I look around, and I see myself (at least in my own mind) letting down those I love — my wife, my children, my family, my friends, even those at work. I am battling so many feelings, and I am so mad at myself for having this disease. I feel so guilty for putting my family through this — has anyone else ever felt this way?

What 'Special' Taught Me About Disability Acceptance
My life has been full of many sleepless nights wondering what I have to do to accept my disability. As an aspiring media writer with cerebral palsy, I started watching the first season of “Special,” a Netflix series following a man’s journey as part of both the LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities last year, but season two is where I felt the most seen within my mental health, physical disability, relationships, self-worth, etc. The star of the show, Ryan O’Connell, put it best when he said: “I explain things every day, I don’t want to have to do that with you,” and “I do accept my disability, but I still have to live in a world that doesn’t know what to do with me, and that is super painful and shitty.”

Advocating for Myself After Being Discriminated at Work for My Mental Illness
Organizations often claim to prioritize employee wellness; in fact, the practice is very du jour to create mental health awareness campaigns and “wellness weeks” organization-wide. What is ironic and sad is how few organizations truly live up to their promise of supporting employee well-being and fostering positive mental health.

Why I Felt Even More Isolated After a Recent Chronic Illness Flare
I have been chronically ill since I was a little girl. And even though I had my challenges as a child living with chronic illness, I was still able to engage in activities with my peers and live a somewhat “normal” life. I went to birthday parties, sleepovers, trips and did plenty of things, except when I had active infections, or asthma attacks or had to have procedures done. As time went on, I managed my conditions and life was fine.

The Loneliness I Feel as the Parent of a Child With a Rare Disease
Having a child with a rare disease like Hurler’s syndrome, we are extremely lucky as we have a huge network of support. We have had a ton of family, friends and even strangers surround us with prayers, support and positive energy when we face various complications and issues with our son. Additionally, I am part of the MPS community both in real life and on social media which provides me with a network of people who “get it” and understand the ins and outs of this journey on a deeper level because they live it too. I also have a large family and friends both in the MPS world and not in that world who I can reach out to when I need it.

In constant pain, with every day a struggle, you wonder if you will have the life you dream of.

I Don't Care That It 'Could Be Worse' When I'm in Pain and Losing Hope
“Hey, look on the bright side” has become, at least for me, a consistently common precursor to someone saying something “stupid.” Sure, I could have had something worse happen to me; but I didn’t. So, good for me? When I hear this phrase, I think of the old Road Runner cartoons when Wile E. Coyote would fall off a cliff leaving a coyote-shaped hole in the ground when he landed, and then just when he pops his head up out of the hole, a giant anvil falls on his noggin. Look on the bright side is kinda like saying, “At least the anvil didn’t hit you.” Never mind that I just fell off a cliff.
