@_jemma_bella: “You’re not sick enough” has always been the narrative that little voice in my head has stuck too… even when I was in fact very sick For some reason society likes to put us in boxes and it doesn’t like the grey areas. You’re either very sick or you’re not sick at all. I have always really struggled with this! This idea of black or white, fully functioning or completely debilitated, does NOT fit real life and people’s true experiences. All of our journeys are unique. They are not linear. And they definitely are not a one size fits all. Just wanted to remind you that whatever it is you’re going through - it’s valid. You do not need permission or to fit into a certain box in order for it to be valid. It is valid. You are valid. Sending all the love 🫶🏼 @Emilyrosecharlotte video format inspo!! Seen lots of creators doing this recently have really love it but Emily is the OG!! . . #fyp #spoonie #chronicillness #MentalHealth
Thank you for helping healthy people understand the reality of acute/chronic illness. Glad you are feeling better and inspiring people with your ongoing achievements💛

“You do not need to collapse to be unwell” yesss, I’ve had to learn that and get through the internalised ableism

As a nurse I find this doubly hard. I always compare myself to patients with entirely different issues and don’t think I’m allowed to struggle when they’ve been “through worse”. Thanks for the reminder to look after myself ❤️

I needed this today. Thank you. I’m so tired all the time. So tired of doctors saying I’m too young, of friends not understanding, of my spouse (who is overwhelmingly supportive) talking about my chronic illness as “just” thank you. 💙

I can’t even describe how much I feel like this and how I have felt so ignored like I was lying by people before

I wasn’t sick enough when I completed my training program from a hospital bed, but I wasn’t well enough for them to hire me to train others with that same program when I was in need of a job that understood my limitations. 🙄

What pisses me off is that I know someone who looks so unwell, they look physically terrible, and I’d give my left leg just to be as fit as them!
