“I have a Chronic Illness “- it's not contagious - I'm not lazy - I'm not faking - I hate to cancel plans - I'm not a hypochondriac - I'm not crazy - I'm not weak - I want to work - I don't enjoy this - I'm not an addict - I'm not looking for attention “I have a Chronic Illness “DON'T JUDGE SHOW SUPPORT” (“TLM Invisible Illness Artwork”)

Yay! I got to 5 degrees dorsiflexion today in PT. I’m progressing super fast now thanks to 50 min PT sessions and being consistent with my exercises. I also took my first bike ride since the accident and also did the rowing machine this week ❤️🙌🏻❤️ #trimalleolarfracture #brokenankle #physicaltherapy

Chopped from tooth from bruxism.

Ugh. Bruxism. Yep. You can break your own teeth. 😢 #bruxism #stress #anxiety #hEDs #eds #jhs #teeth #chippedtooth #chippedteeth

I think I mistyped! So sorry. This is a great summary. I also have hEDS. 🙏🏻😍

😵‍💫🤯😍

Can you spot the other cat? #lynxpoint #siamesecat #cat #kitty #flamepoint #cats #siamesecats

Dark Matter!

At PT today we broke through scar tissue and I gained 2 degrees dorsiflexion! Our goal is 10 degrees to be able to walk normally. 👍 #trimalleolarfracture #brokenankle #physicaltherapy

We were looking at Albinen Switzerland for funsies but you have to be younger than 45 😢

Picture of a pink angel doing makeup. A cat, a harp, a table with tea, and heart clock on the wall.

I meant to post this art earlier this month before Valentine’s Day 💗 #blueskyartist #artist #illustration #fantasyartist #harp #harpist #art #fantasyart #valentinesart

Yessss!

Love this! 💗

"When people do not understand the state that I’m in, it makes me feel even worse during a flare. So whenever I’m in such a state, I accept it & know that it’s only temporary. It will pass and I will regenerate": https://buff.ly/2I00xg6 #PainFlare #ChronicPain #InvisibleIllness #resilient #spoonie

Disability claim paperwork and a thick stack of medical records.

I officially filed for #disability today by mailing this bad boy in. I included the medical records that I had on hand. Let’s hope disability benefits are still a thing the next 4 years. #disabled #hEDS #eds #chronicpain #chronicillness

😳 🙏🏻😢

I love it when I eat a russet potato and am up all night in joint and nerve pain. My enemies can take me out with a potato. A f*ckg 🥔. #nightshades #chronicpain #chronicillness #foodintolerance #foodsensitivity #hEDS #eds

Exactly! Love Silo.

Exactly. Motivation comes after starting unfortunately. 😆

I like to pretend I’ve mastered most things in all my past “lifetimes” but this was the last one where I wanted to master the ultimate challenging physical life. Then I can graduate, have parties with kittens, cheese, and play with space glitter. 😆🤷‍♀️ Whatever helps right? #chronicillness #chronicpain

I think you’d like a series called Dark Matter. Parallel lives, sci fi, subconscious state, etc.

I’m learning how to do it #depressed, do it #anxious, do it #tired, do it in pain, do it #angry, do it with #apathy and to be ok with it all. Just start and do the thing however you feel. #chronicpain #chronicillness #hEDS #EDS #depression #justdoit #disability #disabled #motivation

Physical therapy felt amazing today! That is all. #physicaltherapy #trimalleolarfracture #brokenankle #anklesurgery

Out of all the #chronicillness symptoms for #hEDS, #migraines that make me puke, almost dying in childbirth, #childhoodabuse and #trauma, #trimalleolarfracture, #appendectomy, #depression is the worst symptom that completely disables me. Depression. #disability #disabled #chronicpain

Therapy meme with two doors. One door says therapy if no one is going through it and then the other door says playing old favorite video games and everyone is barely through that door

Yessss!

I just want to be more creative, but all my energy is being used up to simply survive

She is the best. She plays fetch, chatters at birds, chirps when I sneeze. And a lap cat!

Absolutely horrid!

Flamepoint Siamese male cat. Orange creamsicle color.

Meet Leo. He is almost 3 years old. He is a #flamepoint #siamesecat. He is a gentle giant, loves wand toys and food. He’s a big cowardly lion and amazing with kids. But he loves my sister more than me. Hmph. #cat #kitty
