Give me a 💛 if managing chronic pain & chronic illness has ever made you feel inadequate? 🙄

I remember walking out of doctors appointments feeling like there was something wrong with me as a person since my body wasn’t the same as everyone else’s. Like why can’t I take the pills like everyone else & feel amazing afterwards ...... why am I stuck with all the side effects no one else seems to have 😰

Yet I’ve come to realize my body is UNIQUE and it’s strong enough to handle whatever life sends my way. I’ve also decided no matter what the doctors may say, I can have a life full of joy and happiness because I deserve it ‼️

Your journey may look different than others but in no way are you undeserving or unequipped to handle whatever chronic illness brings your way.

🥄The Spoon Theory🥄

This is for all the people wondering wtf I’m talking about when I say I have no spoons! 

The idea is that healthy individuals start the day with an unlimited amount of mental & physical energy levels (spoons) & aren’t typically concerned with the amount of energy expended during basic tasks like showering or getting dressed.

Us spoonies ( #endowarriors) on the other hand *do* have a limit, & don’t have the luxury of a life without consciously “counting our spoons”. We have to worry about the effects of our actions. 

Lack of spoons is why my floors constantly need vacuumed, or a load of laundry takes 72 hours to do, or you’ll see me with either my hair or makeup done, but never both together. 

It’s why I can decide what’s for dinner, write the shopping list, drive & buy the ingredients, only to get home & not be able to make the meal. 

A person who runs out of spoons has no choice but to rest until their spoons are replenished. 
But for many in the #chronicillnesscommunity, rest isn’t certain to give more spoons. 

This lack of restorative sleep results in a continuous low supply of energy, leaving spoonies to plan & ration their energy throughout the day.

I’ve been borrowing spoons from “tomorrow” for about a year now & officially, I’ve got 3 left…total.

So PLEASE tell me, what are you spoon-saving hacks?!
