The Girl, Get Up Movement

Celebrating and supporting women living with autoimmune diseases, chronic illnesses and pain.

10/23/2025

🔍 Let’s bust some myths.

Because the assumptions—we “look fine” or we’re “just tired” can hurt just as much as the illness.

If you know a warrior woman whose struggle you can’t see—believe her. Support her.

Invisible disabilities are conditions you can’t always see, but that don’t make the battle any less real!

Autoimmune disease, chronic pain, fatigue, sensory processing issues… they often come with misunderstanding, judgment and isolation.

This week we raise awareness and we demand empathy. Though you can’t see our pain, it is very real.

10/21/2025

💡This week we’re turning the spotlight on what the world often overlooks — the strength behind the invisible.

🔎 For millions living with autoimmune disease, chronic illness or pain, the battles aren’t always visible…but they’re very real.

💜Join us for Invisible Disabilities Week as we lift up the voices of those who are often overlooked. We see you. We hear you. Your pain is valid. Your journey matters.

There’s power in sharing. It has the ability to inspire, uplift, and transform someone else’s life — maybe even change the trajectory of their journey.

Your story matters. Your voice heals.

💜 September is Self-Care Awareness Month — and this is your reminder: slowing down is not weakness, it’s wisdom.

At the Girl, Get Up Movement, we believe rest is strength, not laziness. Listening to your body is one of the most powerful forms of self-love. ✨

❕September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month ❕

Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent killer” because its symptoms can be subtle and easily overlooked. But awareness can save lives. 💙💚

✨ Common Symptoms to Watch For:
• Persistent bloating
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Feeling full quickly or difficulty eating
• Frequent or urgent urination
• Unexplained fatigue

This month, we honor the women fighting, remember those we’ve lost, and stand in solidarity with survivors. Together, we can spread awareness, support research, and encourage early detection.

💜 Let’s break the silence. Let’s amplify the fight.

💜 Silent Struggles of Invisible Illness 💜

Living with a chronic illness often means carrying battles no one else can see. From the exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix to the guilt of saying “no,” these silent struggles are real and valid.

This month, let’s shine light on the invisible—honoring the resilience, courage, and strength of every warrior who continues to rise despite it all. 🌸

👉 Swipe through to learn more and stand with those fighting battles you may never see.

🎗️ September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 💛

At the Girl, Get Up Movement, we stand with the brave children and families fighting battles we can’t always see. 💛

Together, we can raise awareness, spread hope, and remind these young warriors that they are not alone. Let’s shine a light, share their stories, and support research and resources that bring healing and strength.

Because no child should fight cancer alone. 💛✨

💜✨ September is Self-Care Awareness Month, and for those battling chronic illness, self-care often looks like this tug-of-war:

➡️ Pushing through so illness doesn’t take over your life

AND

➡️ Honoring your body when it demands rest

Both are valid. Both are powerful. Both are acts of self-care. 🌸

Sis, remember: saying “yes” to rest is not weakness—it’s strength. And showing up for yourself in the small ways is a victory worth celebrating. 🙌🏾💜

💜 September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month 💜

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder that causes red blood cells to form in a crescent or “sickle” shape. Instead of moving smoothly through the body, these cells can block blood flow, leading to intense pain episodes, organ damage, fatigue, and other serious complications.

✨ Who does it impact most?
SCD disproportionately affects people of African descent, though it also occurs in Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean communities. In the U.S., it’s estimated that 1 in 365 Black babies and 1 in 16,300 Hispanic babies are born with the condition.

For many, SCD means countless doctor visits, hospital stays, and invisible battles that the world often overlooks.

💪🏾 To our sickle cell warriors: you are resilient beyond measure.
💜 To our community: awareness creates compassion, and compassion creates change.

Together, we rise. Together, we say: Girl, Get Up. ✨
