I am NOT cured, I repeat I AM NOT CURED 😭😭

Guys.. I was able to take a short walk and go up the stairs easier. I think I might be cured from chronic illness 🤭

Thanks so much for your feedback! And that sounds really calming :) I encourage you to do it more often. In my settings, I'm able to put my phone on "Down Time" which allows access to only a few apps. I'm not sure what phone you have (I have Apple), but you could try that!

Digital Detox Helpung With Chronic Illness

I did what I like to call a "digital detox" by limiting 90% of the apps I could use on my phone, especially social media. I do this because I find so much negativity in the community. Trust me when I say I know being chronically is hard. But there is no reason any of us need a 24/7 reminder of it.

I also find it difficult when I'm stuck at home for a good majority of my days, with no work, it's hard to keep myseld entertained all day. I end up relying on my phone and I get incredibly sad in the process.

As some of you may know if you watch my YouTube, I was off social media for 7 months. I found it beneficial. While I'm ready to be back on social media, I needed a break

So I only used my phone to film my journey, listened, to music, and text two people. My time spent on my phone was half of what it usually was (really just using the camera app.)

Would you be interested in me uploading to my YouTube channel my journey of a digital detox while living with a chronic illness? Should I do this more often? Would you consider doing this?

For the love of god I am CHUGGING electrolytes why do I feel horrible still

I am absolutely PISSED

I am homeless, disabled, and trying to find housing. I don't qualify since I don't have a I have no income. I asked my social worker about finding housing if my gf lives with me but she doesn't make enough. I asked about getting disability once I receive a proper diagnosis, and I got a MAYBE. Not to mention, I'm so appalled after learning how much disabled people earn in one month. The government wants you to be homeless when you're disabled, and then punsihes you for it.

gentle check in for my fellow POTSies. does your body feel:

heavy

weak

shakey

sweaty

or generally overwhelmed?

if yes, here's a little reminder to hydrate, get in some electrolytes, take ur meds if you forgot, and adjust your positioning if you can! sit down, lay down, stretch your legs, elevate your legs, etc. if you've been in one position too long, you may find a little bit of movement to help.

i know for me even sitting upright too long can exhaust me and i dont realize until im out of sitting up spoons. i just did that today now, after some wandering around the house, im having my Horizontal Time (bed). after this i'll likely take a 5 minute walk.

there's no shame in needing rest. there's no shame in needing a break from something to go stretch or get water/food. there's no shame in only being able to do very light exercise. it's okay to listen to your body and do whatever is best for you!

Queer, undiagnosed, disabled, homeless artist still trying my best to be happy

After my PTSD was triggered I could no longer live with my childhood abuser. The stress caused me to get ill. I moved out so I wouldn't have to live with them. I'm Now temporarily living at with my girlfriend's now. My condition has been getting worse. I can't walk without a can. My lab results keep coming back normal, but I suspect I have pots.

ENOUGH WITH THIS SAD SHIT THOUGH

After several months of taking a social media break, I'm back! I want a community, a place to show my art, and maybe even make a business.

This is me, this is my art ٩(๑`^´๑)۶

If you like my art, or are another chronically ill baddie, feel free to follow it even dm me (^_-)-☆
