I wasn’t complaining when I was getting the margs in 🤣
Paying for it now though 😭 Still hopeful I might make it out of bed tonight! Chronic illness really lets you enjoy the moment and then humbles you immediately after. Worth it though 😛

There’s so much pressure to “do the most” on New Year’s Eve, but please remember it’s okay to rest. You don’t have to celebrate big, stay out late, or push your body past its limits just because the calendar says so. If you need a quiet night, an early bedtime, or to skip plans altogether, that’s more than okay. Tomorrow is another day, and taking care of yourself is always worth more than forcing a moment 💛

Every ADHDer knows this cycle 🤣 Buy the notebook, swear this one will change everything, use three pages… repeat. Executive dysfunction stays undefeated 🤦🏾‍♀️

It’s all about balance, right? 😂✨ Just don’t take it too far, okay! Happy holidays to anyone doing their best to balance fun, rest, and self-compassion 💛 The chronic illness struggle is real when you’re trying to have a little joy and avoid a flare-up!

With chronic illness, you never really know how you’re going to feel day to day!  Christmas is no exception. Our bodies don’t take holidays, and that can be hard. If you weren’t well enough to join in or had to rest more than you wanted, that’s okay. You don’t need to feel guilty — give yourself grace. And if, like me, you were shown a little mercy and had a lower-pain day, I’m genuinely happy for you 🥹 Just remember to pace yourself and protect that energy. You’re doing your best, always.

Good luck out there gang! If get overstimulated, socially, exhausted - You’re not alone! I hope you manage to find a moment of calm to reset your nervous system. Take breaks when you need to 😊

In the coming weeks, you’ll probably see a lot of “highlight reels” the big wins, the milestones, the shiny moments. If all you did this year was survive, that is more than enough.

Living with chronic illness means you’re carrying an invisible load every single day, and we can’t measure ourselves by able bodied standards. Small wins still count. Rest counts. Getting through the day counts. Surviving is still a win and I’m so proud of you 🤍

Between my ADHD and chronic illness, I really don’t last long in the club 😭 The loud music, people talking over each other, flashing lights and zero personal space send my nervous system into overload real quick 😂 Sometimes the best option is knowing when to head home and protect your energy — and that’s okay. Listening to your body is always the move 💛✨

Getting sick when you’re already chronically ill ain't for the weak! The symptoms hit harder, the flares last longer, and recovery takes twice as much time and energy!

Nothing beats having neurodivergent friends who get your crazy energy!

There’s something so comforting about finding people who understand your brain, match your vibe instantly, and make every room feel safer and more fun. Neurospicy friendships are ELITE ✨

One thing about chronic illness… it’s unpredictable. You can pace, rest, plan and do everything “right,” and still wake up sick the next day 😭💛 Sending love to everyone navigating this life.
