IT'S OK TO NOT FEEL LIKE A WARRIOR ⁣⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ my collab with @thisthingtheycallrecovery⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Before anyone starts getting angry in the comments, I'm going to preface this with my usual thing: this is just MY OPINION. If you get something out of being a warrior - that's great! I'm not belittling or undermining that. It just doesn't do anything for me. ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ And why is that? Well, inherent in the warrior narrative is that my chronic illnesses are something that I can fight and then either win or lose against - but life's just a lot more nuanced than that.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Ultimately, and this is really at the heart of why it does nothing for me, existing in my body is not a choice.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Getting on with my life is just something I have to...do...whether I want to or not. I can see why the warrior narrative is compelling for people because the process of even getting through the day feels like such a challenge to overcome and something to be celebrated⁣. And it is! ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ But to me that's not a *battle*. These are the cards I've been dealt and I just have to live my life. I don't find that inherently 'brave' or 'inspirational'. It just is what it is. It's my normal.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ I find it exhausting to live my life as if it's a war. I spent so long fighting my body, trying to 'win' by getting better. To prove I was worthy to myself and others.⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ I didn't win. I mean, willpower is not a fair fight against A GENETIC CONDITION. I only ended up hurting myself. ⠀⁣⠀⠀ ⠀⁣⠀⠀ Now, I try to work WITH and ACCEPT my illnesses as PART of my life instead of fighting against them. ⁣⠀⠀ ⠀⁣⠀⠀ That doesn't mean that I've given up. Some days we have to try harder than others. Some days we literally can't try. And that's ok. ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ I suppose moving away from the fight narrative played a role in helping me accept my reality instead of chasing after an unspecified future, and opened the door for me to safely and realistically find way more things in my life that this constant war I was fighting didn't allow space for. ⁣⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀ Ultimately, I'm not sharing to bash anyone or take something away that helps you. I'm just opening up that if you don't feel like you're a warrior, that’s ok too.

I’m so so excited to be posting this!!! (There have been so so many times I honestly believed I wouldn’t ever be able to say this!) but here we go! I CAN FINALLY WALK!! It’s taken 127 days (according to Siri) of hard work, set backs and many breakdowns but I’m finally here! Today I managed to walk around my whole ward with my physio (and a few breaks) and I couldn’t be happier! I don’t think I ever would have got here without my friends, family and some of the amazing staff here (especially my physio and a couple of my HCAs/nurses!) I can now also say that I have discharge planned for mid-end of May which is super scary and exciting!! - - - - - - - #paralysis #ehlersdanlossyndrome #paralysisrecovery #hospital #hospitallife #eds #heds #fnd #functionalneurologicaldisorder #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #chronicpain #babewithamobilityaid #walking

: Everyday is its own and separate entity when you are dealing with a chronic illness. You can feel good one day and horrible the next. There is no rhyme or reason and it’s super hard to predict how you will feel on any given day. Comment below if you relate. Follow @how.u.feeling for more!

My meal prep for the last 3 days . Breakfast: bacon, broccoli, mushrooms and baby spinach. . Lunch: Salad with chicken, beetroot, sweet potato, avocado and rocket. . Dinner: Beef stir fry with cabbage, carrot and zucchini. . . #autoimmuneprotocol #autoimmunepaleo #wellbeing #nourish #jerf #healthyrecipes #eatrealfood #eattherainbow #holistic #foodismedicine #healthandwellness #healthymeals #autoimmune #aip #nourishyourbody #glutenfreelife #autoimmunedisease #hypothyroidism #hashimotos #chronicfatigue #thyroid #leakygut #aipaleo #totesaip #autoimmunewellness

: It’s only natural that you are angry and frustrated about your chronic pain. I am not here to tell you that you shouldn’t feel angry, but it is important not to take that anger out on people, especially those who care about you. When those moments of outward anger come, take a moment to practice some deep breathing techniques. The last thing you want to do is push away those people who are always there for you.

I stopped drinking aged 25 when I got sick * I’m Greek, and long meals with wine are a container for ritual, community and love. Many cultures have this gift * But this isn’t how we commonly drink. We have been socialised so adeptly to see this substance as normal for all occasions. Happy? Go drink. Sad? Drink. Arguing with your partner? Drink. Sports? Seriously drink. A ferret farted in Mongolia? Drink * And when you have a society of humans with subconscious emotional wounds - alcohol can be an easy and accepted way to soothe and shield those hurt parts. Like wounded animals we want to stop the pain. So it isn’t our fault. But these habits compound the pain. And in the process; create blind spots that become super hard to see (hence the name haha) * Once I stopped drinking, I saw how much I had used it in the place of real confidence. How I thought it bonded me to friends. How it helped me numb difficult emotions. How it shielded me from inner pain. How it blocked my creativity, maturity, passion, my ability to thrive and be present with my self. How it blocked me feeling good things too! How it stopped real commitment and intimacy. How much of my interests revolved around socialising where I was drinking and taking recreational drugs. I had no time for anything else other than my banking career and busy social life I thought. Busy busy younger me never slowed enough to wonder what I was running from * At first when I stopped, I was adamant I wouldn’t ever socialise again, date, be sexually active, leave the house, smile - what the fuck did people even do that don’t drink?! * Well...... it turns out they socialise, date, are sexually active, and have very full social lives AND hobbies and interests. Who knew?! Ha * I can over achieve and get type A tendencies still to shield a worry I’m not good enough. And have to catch myself when I do this, and identify any limiting belief or stuck emotion and work through it. I do not want to ever numb or shield any part of this crazy tough beautiful perfect life * Lean into growing pains. It is so worth all of us getting friends with how we soothe and shield, and gently asking those wounds what they need to heal
