🖤 Something I just want to say… from the heart.

Living with chronic illness, PTSD, grief, or any kind of long-term pain can feel deeply, painfully lonely. 😞💔
Not just because of the symptoms,
but because the world keeps spinning 🌍
while you're stuck in survival mode 🛌🌀...
and grief keeps you wrapped in a bubble no one else can see. 💬🌫️

I know life is busy 📱💼
We’re all scrolling, replying, posting, distracted 📲💬
We’ve all got things going on 🧠💭
But when you're unwell for a long time...
you start to feel like everyone else has moved on 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️💨..and you're still trying to breathe in a life that feels paused ⏸️😔

At first, people check in 🤗
They say, “Let me know if you need anything” 📩
But time passes ⏳
The texts slow down 📵
The invites disappear 🗓️
And you’re left wondering...
Was I too much?
Or just… too forgotten? 😔🫥

💭 The truth is:
Sometimes I still want to go 🥺🎉
Even if I say no, I still want to be invited 💌
I want to be thought of 🌼
Remembered 🕊️
Messaged 💖
Missed 😢

🧠 And here’s something people don’t talk about enough…
When you live with PTSD, you’re often treated like a l***r 🧎‍♀️💔
Not because you’ve done anything wrong,
but because people don’t understand how trauma reshapes you 🌀💭

It’s not just “mental illness” 🚫🧪
It’s what happens when your soul has been cracked open by life 🫀⚡
PTSD can shift how you react, how you speak, how you connect 🤯💬🤐
And instead of compassion, people pull away 🚪💨

They whisper 🗣️
They judge ⚖️
They misunderstand your survival for instability 😞🤯

But the truth is…
✨ You are not broken 🩵
You are surviving something most people couldn’t even name 🌪️💔
You are not too much ❌
You are carrying too much 🎒🫣

I’m not sharing this for pity 🙅‍♀️
I’m sharing it because too many people are quietly hurting 🤐💔
Fighting battles no one sees 🥀🧠

So if someone cancels plans 🚫
Or disappears for a while 🌫️
Please don’t assume they don’t care 🙇‍♀️💭
They might be using every ounce of energy just to make it through the day 💪😩

Please don’t judge them.
Hold them in your heart. 💭💛
They might be hanging on by a thread… surviving something they don’t even have words for 🧵🫀🕊️

💛 A little empathy goes a long way 🌈🕯️
A message 📲
A smile 😊
A simple “thinking of you” 💬
You might not realize how much it means 💌✨

🌟 Have a blessed day.

With L❤️‍🩹ve,

The adult you is responding to everything the child you couldn’t express.
Every trigger is a whisper from the past saying,
“Please help me hold this now.”

🌿 For the ones who’ve walked through fire 🔥
When you've faced the raw ache of trauma,
when your nervous system has fought just to survive a single morning,
you stop chasing chaos that looks like love.

You start craving peace over performance.
Safety over superficial connection.
Consistency over grand apologies.

Healing teaches you what really matters:
☀️ Being safe in your own skin.
🌙 Feeling steady in your emotions.
💗 Being surrounded by people who check in, not check out.

So no…
we don’t welcome back those who disrupt our peace.
We honour our nervous systems too much for that now.

Because healing isn’t just recovery,
it’s remembering your worth.
It’s rebuilding your life around gentleness.
It’s choosing people who don’t feel like walking on glass.

You are allowed to protect your peace like it’s sacred.
Because it is.

💫✨ Something Beautiful That Helps When You’re Struggling ✨💫

Living with PTSD means we’re always searching for ways to feel safe in our bodies again.
One thing that’s helped me on the hard days?
👉 A fidget necklace, something grounding, soothing, and beautiful I can wear close to my heart.

💖 My beautiful friend Lorraine creates these by hand, and she even infuses them with Reiki energy. You can fidget with them during moments of anxiety, overwhelm, or when you feel triggered… and no one even knows. They’re subtle, stylish, and created with love.

I personally wear mine every day, especially during doctor visits, car rides, or those moments when I feel like I need something to hold onto. 🫶

✨ Please go give her page a like and check out her handmade healing jewelry.
It’s not just an accessory, it’s a little anchor for the nervous system. 🌿
