Me: I’m so exhausted

Healthy nt person: maybe if you slept more and went outside you wouldn’t be

Me: I have multiple chronic illness don’t make me use my remaining 2% energy to stab you

[nealedenaro]

When you’ve spent an entire day resting and doing nothing, get to bed at a sensible time, then wake up feeling exhausted, like you need to sleep for hours and hours.

That’s chronic fatigue.

It’s not ‘feeling tired’, it’s not 'feeling sleepy’. It’s struggling every day with utter exhaustion, and still dragging yourself out of bed to get to work.

Fatigue is not the same as being tired, pass it on.

It’s been a while...

It’s been a while…

Well… it’s been a long moment since I last posted here.

Firstly, I would like to apologise for that. I always start something with the best of intentions but life always has a way of changing my priorities.

I am sorry that I haven’t been active for a while. Although, I’m not sorry for prioritising my health.

My New Year post was all about how I had a feeling 2018 was going to be my year. It is…

My Thoughts on Food: Nutritional Yeast

Hello! Today’s little snippet in on Nutritional Yeast! So, you may or may not know that I am indeed a vegetarian. I’ve seen a lot of people posting about #veganuary but I’m not following the trend. I recently became intrigued after a popular food recipe Facebook page posted about 7 meat free meals and included a recipe that included nutritional yeast. Now… “What the f*** is Nutritional Yeast?!” I…

Happy New Year! (I’m back!)

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had a fabulous Festive period filled with family and friends. I hope you stuffed yourself silly with good food and drank your body weight in alcohol – I know I certainly did!   Let me start by apologising for my extended absence. The end of 2017 wasn’t a great one for me – I found out my hours at work would be reducing in the new year, I got pneumonia…

Sunday is... HECTIC!!!

Sunday is… HECTIC!!!

So…. Let me start of by saying, I’ve been a really bad blogger recently! Let me explain. Life is crazy busy at the moment and I’m…. A student again?!?!!! I have just started going to college for evening classes, two classes a week while still working full time! I don’t have enough hours in the day!!! But on the plus side… I got to treat myself to colourful college stuff – and y’all know that I’m…

Tuesday, Tori Talks... Health?

Tuesday, Tori Talks… Health?

So today’s Tori Talks is more of a rant but it’ll be a short rant, I promise! And I apologise for this being late, there’s a reason! Guess who has only gone and got themselves conjunctivitis?! Yup. Me. This idiot right here! I’m having to take these eye drops every two hours. Yes that’s right… every. Two. Hours!!! Do you know what’s also great about them? NOTHING!! So you put them in your eye and…

Sunday is… Craft day??! Sunday is... Usually a day that you spend in between recovering (dying) from a hangover. And you can quote me on that!

Monday Musings

Isn't amazing how just taking a wee bit of time to do something as simple as taking a bath with some soothing bath soak and lighting a few candles can just make you feel brand new? Well… it was soothing until I over did it with the bubbles and nearly drowned in a foamy mass!!

Here is the link to my blog entry about my veggie Sunday roast!

My Sunday Roast

So it's a Sunday… And a Sunday in Britain is not complete without a Sunday roast!! Mine is a bit different – being a veggie and all that jazz. First of all, scrap the chicken. I'm using Quorn Chicken Fillets cooked with chopped courgettes in a thick veggie gravy. Once it's cooked, I'll chuck in some green beans for a few minutes then serve. Next instead of mash, I'm having roasted courgettes and…

I haven’t ever felt or been “sick enough” to warrant a hospital visit or an ambulance ride but I do have problems that don’t fit into the “normal” world. I am not sick enough to even have to go to the doctor enough to have found any answers yet, but I feel like crap a lot of the time. I can go to school and work a part-full time job but that doesn’t mean I feel well, it simply means I am doing what I can as much as I can. I am grateful, oh so grateful that I am not entirely bed ridden and on more meds than I can even count (I am definitely on plenty though). I don’t want to be in that position by any means, but I want to feel like I belong somewhere. I don’t quite feel like I belong on tumblr in the chronic illnesses area, but I don’t fit in the healthy world either. I am in this weird limbo and I hate it. I want answers to why I get fevers, rashes, body aches, constant fatigue, pain, and why I look and feel anemic but my tests never show up like they are “supposed to”. I hate this world of unknown and not belonging that I am in. I just want to belong somewhere. Thank you all for letting me be here. It is really the only place I feel even remotely comfortable and like I belong. My family doesn’t understand, my friends barely even know. I feel so alone except when I get on here. It really is a life saver for me.

This... I can relate to so much.

Life hack: 

Rest if you feel tired. Don’t try to fight it, as that will only make it worse. At least if you rest you’ll either feel the same, or if you’re lucky, a little bit better…
