Chronically Ill - Blog Posts
I'm gonna faint from anxiety, but I DID IT!!! Made My First YouTube Video
From chronically offline to chronically ill
Psst… HEY
If you are also queer, disabled, and/or have chronic pain, and wanna see art and other content about it, then feel free to follow my youtube ;))
I've been making shorts, and hopefully filming a full video when I have the energy!
One of my videos (´ . .̫ . `)
Guys.. I was able to take a short walk and go up the stairs easier. I think I might be cured from chronic illness 🤭
Let’s make my girlfriend into, a beam of light. She has been a shiny ray of hope for me through these hard times. Chronically, ill and disabled she has left me taking care of me, loving me, no matter what.
I thought exercise would cure me so I did one sit up. My back hurts. Everyone is telling me to exercise, even my doctor. I’m trying. Will it actually help???
Things my disability has made me more grateful for:
My support system. I have been around some, let's just say, very mean people in my life. I've curriated a chosen family I couldn't be happier with. With special thanks to my girlfriend and her family for giving me a temporary place to live and taking care of me
Self care. Before while I did take care of my body, I didn't take it as seriously as I should. When I had to use the restroom, shower, brush my teeth, drink water, eat I didn't always attend to my needs. Now a days, even though they are way harder to do, I put in extra effort. Because I deserve it
My art. I have a lot of self esteem issues with my art, and even have shut downs on occasions from a piece not being “perfect.” But at the end of the day, when it’s just me in bed, with my art book, and my markers, I can forget about being disabled. I can fully put effort into something I love and have worked so hard on. And my efforts pay off. I can tell my art is improving
No, I am not I am not glamorizing being chronically ill and disabled. This is the best way I’ve learned to accept and cope with it though
Disability? More like dis-sucks

ROUGH DRAFTS
Rough drafts of art I hope to make into stickers and prints. The insparation is beams of light, chronic pain, love, and hope. I want a contrasting primary colors of midnight blue, blinding white, bright red, and shining yellow

POTS Life Hacks For Diffucult Mornings
We all know how important it is to stay hydrated, especially when chronically ill.
If you're anything like me, you wake up feeling awful. Keep a giant glass of water right next to where you sleep. Before getting out of bed, drink water for about 1 to 2 minutes. Bonus points if you use electrolyte drops.
Breakfast- a breakfast I love is oatmeal and salted butter toast. It gives me protien and some salt to start off my day
Having an extremely difficult morning? Don't be afraid to ask for help if it is available to you! There are days where my girlfriend makes me breakfast. You are NOT weak for asking for help. In fact, I think you're pretty brave.
For the love of god I am CHUGGING electrolytes why do I feel horrible still
MY WALKER IS ARRIVING THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY 🎂
Me: Before getting really sick I could easily go to bed around 9:30. Can I still do that? (´ . .̫ . `)
Body: Oh god no! You're staying up till 1 am without choice.
Me: Well at least I can sleep in-
Body: WAKE THE FUCK UP ITS 5 AM AND WE JUST HAD A NIGHTMARE
┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
My body: holy shit we just climbed a mountain. I think I might collapse
Me: bitch no we walked up the stairs
Queer, undiagnosed, disabled, homeless artist still trying my best to be happy
After my PTSD was triggered I could no longer live with my childhood abuser. The stress caused me to get ill. I moved out so I wouldn't have to live with them. I'm Now temporarily living at with my girlfriend's now. My condition has been getting worse. I can't walk without a can. My lab results keep coming back normal, but I suspect I have pots.
ENOUGH WITH THIS SAD SHIT THOUGH
After several months of taking a social media break, I'm back! I want a community, a place to show my art, and maybe even make a business.
This is me, this is my art ٩(๑`^´๑)۶
If you like my art, or are another chronically ill baddie, feel free to follow it even dm me (^_-)-☆
logically, i know that i'm not lesser for needing aids (e.g. things to chew on so i don't accidentally hurt myself, a walking stick, etc.) but i also have to keep reminding myself that its okay and that i'm not embarrassing my loved ones, and that's okay
self-acceptance, especially when you're chronically ill, is not a linear path
Watching House while my body is failing is so ironic on so many levels lmfao
a fellow chronically ill angel… i hope you have had a lovely day
Sending u warmth and love <33 we've got to have each other's backs !!
chronic pain diagnoses are all like yeah we don't know what this is or why it happens. we also don't know how to treat it. good luck out there soldier
