@carsonkelber: ah yes the never ending vicious cycle #chronicillness #chronicillnessjourney

Mads :

Like my body is in a constant state of stress from FIGHTING ITSELF😭

:) :

Literally me today. I felt like I was about to have a panic attack and I was like WTH WHY. I stopped did some therapy techniques and apparently my stomach hurt a lot more than I had realized and it showed up as anxiety. 😭

Teyah starlinggྀིྀིྀིྀིྀི :

Can’t cry because it makes flare ups worse but it’s so much pain what else could you possibly do 🫩

restingb00tchface :

ive started "grounding" myself. works absolutely 💯 🥰

. :

It’s such a catch 22

Alyna Rojas :

the moment I feel my best I feel like superwoman and want to do all the things I've been neglecting and then I stress MYSELF out by thinking about it 😭 we can't win

squidjaylenart :

yoga has actually helped me (obviously still in pain but it’s a good tool when I’m well enough) mainly for releasing back and shoulder pain and forcing myself to BREATHE and be present. Overthinking leads to the decline of my body I have to ground myself 50+ times a day

𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚🌙 :

Cause if I panic about the pain my heart rate will go up. I either have to be nonchalant about it or pass out.
