Me and my disease

December 2017 was when my life changed. After years of being sick, I was finally diagnosed with Crohn's disease. What followed was a long journey to find the right meds, which isn't over. Add a depression to the mix and massive pain issues and I was in dire need of an outlet. Which this will be.

this is the offical ‘i care’ symbol this is how it works: basically you reblog this and your followers know that you care and that they can message you about anything anon or not and you will reply back or at least look at there message. if you care about your followers please reblog

Ok, so imagine that your GI Tract is, not only intelligent and self aware, but also a hateful wretch hellbent on destroying you at all costs.

That's kinda what it's like to have Crohn's.

Chronic illness has asked me to relearn my body, my pace, and my expectations.

I find hope in the idea that I’m in a “during” phase — that my old self isn’t gone, and my current self isn’t a finished product.

If you’re there too, you’re welcome to linger.

it is okay to have a high amount of screen time, ESPECIALLY if you are disabled and homebound/bedbound.

It is not morally wrong to try to stay connected with the outside world, do not listen to the opinions of able bodied people who could not fathom your reality.
