🌿 Affirmations That Don’t Gaslight Me 🌿
(Living with chronic illness + chronic pain)

So many affirmations out there feel like they’re meant for people with boundless energy and perfect health. That’s not my reality — and if it’s not yours either, this post is for you. 💚

Here are some affirmations that actually see me — not sugarcoat my experience:

✨ My pain is real. My feelings are valid.
✨ I’m allowed to rest without guilt.
✨ I am not a burden — I am a human being with needs.
✨ Healing isn’t linear, and that’s okay.
✨ I don’t need to be “better” to be worthy of love.
✨ I can grieve the life I imagined and still find meaning in the one I have.
✨ I honor the strength it takes to survive each day.

If you needed this today, I see you. Chronic illness affects our minds just as much as our bodies — and we deserve care on both levels.

🫶 Drop a 💚 if you relate, or share your own affirmation that feels true for you.

Living with Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue can be so unpredictable. One day we feel on top of the world and feel as if we can do anything, then WHAM! We are hit with the pain and fatigue. Our intentions are always good, but on those days when the pain and fatigue hit, we must put ourselves first to rest and recoup. We always feel guilty but one thing we really want our friends and family to know, is our hearts are with you and we wish we could be with you always, but sometimes the monster takes over and rest needs to happen 💜

Prioritizing your needs is 💯 absolutely necessary when you live with Chronic Illness. You have to become selfish in the way that you put you first so that you don’t have to make so much time for your illness when it rears it’s ugly head. Our energy must be protected in order for us to even consider helping others. There is no shame in being selfish 💜
