What an incredible step you’ve taken in sharing this!! I have been in the process the past few years of embracing the disabled identity and letting it give me strength instead of feeling like something I have to compensate for - it’s a ✨ process ✨ but it’s already improved my life so much. The words you quoted still hit, I find it so hard to communicate when I can’t do something in the middle of a situation, there’s so much shame attached to it?
And I so agree with the public pressure to be positive, I think positivity serves a great purpose, but being allowed to say “this sucks” is equally important. Thank you for sharing, and towards more self compassion we go ❤️
I'm wishing you are the best for the future. I have some idea of the problems you have as my niece also has ME and I have the "explosive" issues you mention. Let's face it, life can be 💩 sometimes.
Thank you for sharing your journey and story with us all Moog! You’re doing so much greater than you believe you are – such a superstar. I found it really fascinating how you mentioned it’s to do with feeling in control. I don’t have ME but I do suffer with a chronic illness and some ongoing health problems, and I really empathise. Sometimes you want to admit defeat and just ‘be’ a chronically ill person, yet there’s an element of not wanting it to take over?
