Travelling with chronic illness is no joke

Where do you stay?
Is there mould?
Smells? Chemicals? Loud noises?
Stairs?

Not to mention all the planning, actual movement, packing, unpacking, activities.

And the money side of it too

So much goes into it that I took for granted before that now is just wow. Fun stress but stress

Me, still, 3 years into chronic illness diagnosis despite living with symptoms daily

What is this?
What’s happening to me?
Is it all in my head?

Wtf?!

in case it’s needed today:

you’re NOT a bad person for needing too much.

you’re not even a bad person for expecting too much.

we all do sometimes.

teach yourself to allow room for disappointment.

teach yourself to provide for yourself gently & to find others who will do the same.

there will be times when neither your needs nor your expectations will be met.

this is alright. this is normal. this will pass.

it will take time & dedication & failed attempts but you can do it.

in case it’s needed today:

you’re NOT a bad person for needing too much.

“3 Defining Features of ADHD That Everyone Overlooks”

FINALLY, SOME GOOD QUALITY EXPLANATION OF WHY “I DONT LOOK LIKE I HAVE ADHD” BECAUSE ITS NOT REALLY CANT SIT STILL FOCUS NONE DISORDER ITS SOMETHING A WHOLE LOT MORE COMPLEX

Actually yeah. I just reblogged this silently without any acknowledgement of it, but this is hones to god one of the best explanations I’ve seen.

just a reminder that RSD is a pathologized view of trauma

in other words social trauma is so prevalent when you have ADHD that it’s being listed as one of three defining traits of ADHD.
