Pain: because apparently feeling bad in one place wasn’t enough. 🙃

0/10 experience. Would not repeat. Unfortunately, it’s a subscription service.

New episodes of HEnabled are out! Sometimes marketing with a disability can be tough so excuse the VERY belated post 😅 The following episodes are now out:

Pad's Story: Navigating university with a new ASD diagnosis.

Sam's Burning Questions: My friend Sam does not have any disabilities but wanted to learn more about disability in a judgement-free environment; I gave him a platform to do so in this episode.

Marie-France's Story: Getting reasobable adjustments in both university and internships with a late ADHD diagnosis.

You can listen to the show on Spotify here or wherever you get your podcasts! I would love to know what you think. A new episode will be out this Sunday!

The Roller Coaster Ride of the Chronically Ill •This was a good time—September October 2021. The fullest my hair had been. My skin had improved, my musculature, and most of all my mood. •I had recently seen my family that I never see •lol that embarrassing facial expression says it all ”🥳” 😂 Today I am in a beanie, with very little hair on the sides of my head with one goal: —To Not Fall Asleep. They are soon to run a CAT scan to hopefully find some kind of answer to my inability to stay awake/control being awake. Does anyone else struggle to be awake or stay awake? Any advice? How is everyone else’s day? I LOVE YA! ☮️💟ash . . . . . #baldgirlandherwigs #baldwomen #chronicillness #chronicallyill #autoimmune #thyroid #womenshealth #healthandbeauty #dayinthelife #wigs #wigreview #shorthair #shorthairlove #shorthairdontcare #normalizebaldwomen #alopecia #alopeciasupport #chronicillnesslife #chronicillnesscommunity #baldgirl #baldwoman #lookatme #selfiegram #shorthairstyle #blondehair #blackandwhitephoto #thingswereokay #wellness #healthandwellness https://www.instagram.com/p/CZZ-Jqcpkql/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Community.

Having chronic illnesses or disabilities can often lead to loss of friendships, relationships, and isolation. But whilst we may feel alone, we are not. There is an amazing community of people with chronic illness and disability online. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to meet through charity events etc.

This community is the most powerful and supportive place anyone could possibly be. No matter what time of day or night, there is always someone there. Someone who understands your pain, your emotions, the challenges you face. We are not all the same, we have different conditions, different ages, different personalities and come from different walks of life, yet none of that matters when we all need someone. There is always someone there. Despite all the challenges we all face, there is a strength in this community that makes life that tiny bit easier. This community is not only there for support, they raise funds for numerous charities and research projects, they raise awareness, they encourage equality, fight against ableism and discrimination and take to the streets and screens to implore governments to act. And there are people in this community, who despite having never met, hold an important place in my heart and I am so so thankful to have found them. ❤

To the chronic illness and disability community, Thank You.

Never forget how far you’ve come. Everything you have gotten through. All the times you have pushed on even when you felt you couldn't. All the mornings you got out of bed no matter how hard it was. All the times you wanted to give up but you got through another day. Never forget how much strength you have developed along the way. #chronicillness #chronicfatiguesyndrome #mecfs #positivequotes #positivity #spoonie #spoonielife #kind #happy #quotes #invisibleillness #chronicillnesscommunity #support #myalgicencephalomyelitis #ptsd https://www.instagram.com/p/B1e6QIxHYBv/?igshid=15xw4ubo8p5yo
