I'm gonna be gone for a while

Okay, so I have a treatment coming up, actually it’s more of a “training program” similar to pain management. It’s called “The Lightning Process”

I’ve been hesitant to talk about it before now because I know there is a lot of discourse in the spoonie community surrounding things like it. But I’m starting it tomorrow, so I thought it was time to talk about it.

It’s based in what is known of neuroplasticity and the brain-body connection, and is basically a three day course to help you begin to re-train your brain out of chronic-pain/fatigue/anxiety/depression etc. with the hope that your body will follow your brain. It’s run in countries all over the world. The idea that “it’s all in your head” is a big part of why a lot of chronically ill people are against it. But I’m not, I love studying neurology and I genuinely believe that this program will be the answer to my illness. I’ve seen it completely heal others before me.

But because it’s all about changing you’re brain I’m going to have to change up my routine, coping mechanisms and everything else, which means that I will most likely have to take a break from my blog. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone for, or if I’ll come back at all, which is heartbreaking for me, but I guess we’ll see.

It is possible that as I recover I will still want to document my journey here, and maybe even turn my blog into a positivity blog, but I really won’t know until I’ve actually started it.

So if you don’t see me active anymore I’m sorry. I’ll miss you guys a lot. And I hope I can come back soon.

stop ! telling ! chronically ! ill ! people! “at least it’s not cancer”

you are not reassuring me, and I know many others feel the same way

you are making me feel invalidated, that my complaints are unjustified, that I can’t complain about my own illness bc ‘other people have it worse’ 

suffering doesn’t need to be compared

illnesses are different. they don’t need to and can’t be compared

and stop implying that we should be happy and content that it’s not something worse. it feels a lot like you’re trying to silence us

Also, if y'all wanna stay up to date with what's happening in my life while I'm gone, I'm going to try to update my Instagram every day with what's happening ☺️

I’ve been having bad days and drawing this helped me remember things.

I hope it helps you, too.

My friend the other day, one that I had very strong feelings for for avert long time, was asking me about my pain, my medication and my experiences the other night. He was angry for me that I can't access the pain relief that I require, and he told me how proud he, and how impressed he is by me for fighting the fights that I do every day. His encouragement was exactly what I needed to make it through another night of painsomnia.
