Photo from Flickr by Silver Machine It took me a long while till I started believing this. After moving away from my families house due to the smoke exposure that almost made me bed ridden. I didn't know what to do with my sense of security that was stripped from me. The same of belonging as well as the willingness to feel safe. On top of that everyone, I asked for help would ask me if I asked my family for help. Ummm... yeah, it didn't work out so well. Every time I felt like I was the problem no matter how much I asked and pleaded no matter my health and live outcome people would be hold so much to their fixations. My brother or anyone for that matter saw smoking as a better option than a human life. In all, it took some time but I have realised that. People's perceptions are influenced on how much they need to change to keep you healthy. Our lives which we didn't ask for, comes with guidelines for everyone who has to come in contact with us. If they follow them, ignore them or don't want to deal with them isn't because of you, it is because of them on how they perceive your circumstances, if they want to help or if they want nothing to do with it. Be able to let people make this decision and be able to leave a place when their decision will harm your life. You as them are obligated to feel safe in your daily existence. #multiplechemicalsensitivities #mcs #allergy #sensitivity #airborneallergy #peanutallergy #perfumeallergy #perfumesensitivity #allergyquotes

This beauty @sassyredlipstick in my feed. Can I have this shirt to complete my whole life. So yeah! My #allergyWCW is someone who can be my smoke detector and warn me if I am touching a smoker even if they are lying to me. I left you off on my roommate smelling weed in the house. Granted if you ask for help that's when people don't help or stay away. Apparently their autonomy is way more important. But as I told my last roomjmate I have no choice but to depend on you, neither you or I can do anything about it. Either you help me or hurt me their is no two ways and you cannot escape it. Even if you do nothing your hurting me by default. Needles to say this is the first time in my life people I don't really know helped. He aired put the house, told me the truth. And my landlord, emailed people about this being a non-smoking household and will get the police involved. If it wasn't for them I would have another #anaphylaxis. And this poor body of mine seriously is getting weathered. And I need it to work so I can support myself. I don't have the luxury to be homeless. (Hope you get what I am saying) can't eat anything in food bank or sleep in shelters without going to the hospital. All I want for Christmas is people who I can depend on and to feel safer in this world. #WCW #allergy #MCS #MultipleChemicalSensitivity #smokingallergy #airborneallergy

What did you do today to listen to your body? I slept till I naturally woke up, didn't cheat on my diet, cooking for next week tonight and cleaning my room. Next week I'll be leaving the house in my gym clothes and taking a show at work so the smokers I get in contact with in my way to work doesn't cause me pain throughout the day. Still the no touching policy but sitting on benches with smokers molecules on them does give me pain. I know my body is an overachiever. 😒 Sometimes our only victories are to have less allergic reactions than we did yesterday. How are you listening to your body? #sundayquotes #allergy #foodallergy #nickelallergy #airborneallergy

I saw this quote from @rupikaur_ I was like yes and no but yes!!! I think with allergies we have to define living again. I have had so many people even myself say, "I am not going to be able to be happy again." Well, I think what we want to say is that we are not going to happy like before. But in all can we just congratulate the man in the picture, he is definitely my spirit animal. This is my reaction to my entire life with allergies. If you read my post I call my allergy Elenor. I like to think of it as another person. Elenor is an old black woman from the south that's been through some shit and doesn't take shit. What do you call your illness, allergy, life and their back story? #worldmentalhealthday #allergy #foodallergy #airborneallergy #lifequotes

#mood my roommate smelled weed yesterday. Can we take a minute to admire my bad luck. Even I am impressed. I swear it doing better at it's goal than me being in a smoke free environment in a nonsmoker household that is in the lease. 🙄 I have had 4 hours of sleep since the last time someone smoked in the house I woke up with swollen lymph nodes and a swollen tongue. Moving again. I guess we've solved why I haven't gotten any better. The vents are closed and I'll going to try to buy filters next week for the vents. By at this point astonished is not even a strong enough word. Stay safe people this world is something else. Sometimes idk why I am still here. 😒 #icant #allergy #smokingallergy #airborneallergy

This quote came in a wonderful time. Since coming back home from Houston the nerve pains have really hot me hard. After 5 days of no pain to have pain daily. To have harassment at work due to my no touching policy. "Your so weird" and tries to touch me. When I know his a smoker. I've been trying to accept myself day after day. Because some days are good some days are bad. But again, acceptance is a small quiet room. And you are probably going to be the only person who will accept you with no judgement. I've definitely learnt that the hard way. Gladly 3 people joined my room and it's definitely filled with more distant people with the community we've built. But reminder not everyone will accept you but the most important person who needs to accept you is yourself. It would be nice but it life. I definitely need to accept my nerve pains, we'll get there. #happysunday #sundayquotes #allergy #airborneallergy #chronicpain #nervepain

Regram from @allergyfreecoach_sunshinecoast why is this me whenever I leave the house? 😒 except with cigarettes. My detox stuff are finished and I've been in so much pain lately just because I don't have any suit of armor on me. I've to detox daily or twice a day in order to bare being outside. Can't wait till I can afford my detox stuff again. Fun fact: saw a research that said people with nickel toxicity have high oxidative stress, and the hump on my back is due to high cortisol level which happens when your dealing with really bad allergic reactions. So I am detoxing to lower this levels and see how I feel. I pretty much cannot handle any type of stressor at all, environmental, emotional, physical. 😥 #airborneallergy #allergy #strugglebus

My #wcw is the beautiful @kathleenlights she is truly an inspiration. So yeah I said fairly not equal. I think with allergies some people want to forget it and not take it into account. I had an argument with my sister she said, "we always have options or you create your own options." I said "no, sometimes you cannot create your own options." Sadly to say sometimes we need other people to create options for us. Our allergies literally stops us from doing what other people with allergies can do. For example, my high school friend let me rent his room out and knew about my allergy and is determined to have smoke free renters. I literally needed to move several states to be healthy. I never created that option he did. Without him I wouldn't know how I would be now, health wise, trust me it was heading to bed rest since the chronic fatigue, fainting, and nerve pains were unbearable. Sometimes you need to modify situations to make it fair, to go the extra mile. Love people a little louder. We have this notion that everyone can take care themselves and that is furtherest from the truth when you are given an unfair advantage. I guess it's survival of the featest out here. 👀 even though we can all survive together in harmony with a helping hand. #allergies #allergyWCW #nickelallergy #nickelychallenged #allergy #airborneallergy #foodallergy
