Sunday evening smoke before bed.

I've been overwhelmed lately, my brain isn't coping with increased anxiety, and not sleeping well. So please send good vibes/sleepy thoughts my way🫩

My visually impaired friend can’t read this stuff. So I fixed it up just for him to be able to read it! :)

The Blob of Basic Survival

for those who wake up tired, try anyway, and call it a win.

Meet the Blob — a soft, grey symbol of exhausted optimism.

He’s been awake since 2019, powered by anxiety, lukewarm coffee, and the quiet will to keep existing.

He’s not here to motivate you.

He’s here to validate your survival.

Because sometimes, brushing your teeth IS character development. Sometimes, getting out of bed is a hero’s journey. And sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is just… keep trying, badly.

Perfect for:

professional overthinkers

work-from-bed philosophers

gentle nihilists with a caffeine dependency

Wear it. Sip from it. Gift it to your fellow barely-functioning humans. The Blob forgives your unread messages and supports your next nap.

If you want to adopt him (metaphorically or via Redbubble), he’s quietly waiting here: 🩶 → The Blob of Basic Survival on Redbubble

Reblog if you’re also keeping the universe running on 3 % battery and vibes.

I am still relatively newer to the chronic illness/injury world in the sense that I've only had a diagnosis or debilitating symptoms for the past five years(give or take, and I know some people experience it for many more years. But I am still well seasoned enough in chronic pain to know that it is exhausting, emotionally draining, isolating, and horrific.

I've been lucky enough to have the past few months, even year, not suck for me. But, due to an inability to see my physical therapist for about two months, sadly I am back to a state of debilitating pain.

And even though I have experienced it before, even though I have first hand knowledge of how it feels to be living with it, even I forgot how tiring and lonely it feels to be in such pain.

So if you have never experienced chronic illness or pain please give grace to those around you that might be dealing with something similar. I know you don't understand. I know it can be annoying. But please reach out and ask how they are, how they are really. Push for how you can help. We don't want to be a bother but it's so nice to have people care and send a kind word. Even if you've been through it it's easy to forget how it feels in the moment(our brains are funny things, darn survival mechanism!)

Just be kind and give grace.

17 Things I Don’t Admit on Bad Days With Chronic Fatigue

--- The most difficult days with chronic fatigue can also be the hardest to discuss. When one of the symptoms of your illness is chronic fatigue, you know any flare day can mean you are unable to take a shower, chat with friends or even leave your house. These physical challenges as well as their mental health effects aren’t necessarily easy to bring up in conversation, especially when others assume you’re “just tired” and will feel better after a good night’s sleep.

To shed light on the effects of chronic fatigue that aren’t often understood or discussed, we asked our Mighty community to reveal what they don’t admit on the bad days of their chronic fatigue. It’s important to note that people with many illnesses experience chronic fatigue, but it should not be confused with chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalomyelitis, a distinct diagnosis that also includes chronic fatigue as a symptom.

We’re share these answers so others dealing with chronic fatigue know they’re not alone — and so those who have never experienced chronic fatigue can begin to understand the challenges you cope with even when you “seem fine.” --- Continues at:

"It's hard to cope with the soul-crushing fatigue but harder still are the expectations of those closest to us."

🔥CFS/ME/PEM🔥 - Ein unsichtbarer Feind, der das Leben auf den Kopf stellt.

#florianatopfblume #cwg64d #oculiauris #cfsnordhessen

CFS/ME/PEM steht für Chronisches Erschöpfungssyndrom/Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis/Postexertional Malaise. Es handelt sich um eine oft lang anhaltende, oder chronische und vor allem sehr schwere Krankheit, die das Leben der Betroffenen massiv beeinflusst.

Die Symptome sind vielfältig und reichen von extremer Erschöpfung, die auch durch Ruhe oder Schlaf nicht verbessert wird, über Muskelschmerzen, Gelenkschmerzen, Schlafstörungen, „Gehirnnebel“, Kopfschmerzen, Reizdarmsyndrom, Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Lärm, Licht oder Gerüchen, Schwindel, niedrigem Blutdruck bis hin zu Depressionen und Stimmungsschwankungen.

Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass diese Symptome variieren und nicht alle Betroffenen alle Symptome haben.

Die genaue Ursache von CFS/ME/PEM ist noch nicht vollständig verstanden und es gibt derzeit keine spezielle Behandlung. Es ist daher wichtig, die Forschung in diesem Bereich zu fördern.

Linderung kann durch sanfte Bewegung, Vermeidung von Schadstoffen, ausreichend Sauerstoff und möglichst wenig emotionalen und körperlichen Stress erreicht werden.

Es ist wichtig, Verständnis für diese Krankheit zu schaffen und die Betroffenen zu unterstützen. 💙✨
