Coping with Chronic Pain and Sickness

I absolutely get sick and tired of being sick and tired. I’ve started focusing on things I can do for myself that feel more nurturing and a bit ritualistic on my end, and less medical, such as diffusing oils, meditation, and tuning forks. Does it help my actual illness? 🤷🏼‍♀️ does it help my nervous system and my mental health? Yes. And I have to believe that’s worth something. Those all nighters are rough though. I’d find a special show you love to rewatch and save it for those nights too 💕

I also love the Urban Rescue Ranch on YouTube. It’s just a guy in his early 20s, running a rescue ranch by himself. He and his animals are just hilarious and heart warming ❤️

I find that chronic illness memes, especially those about chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia for me in particular allow me to look at my condition from a more humorous perspective. They also help me feel much less alone! I recommend @serotoninmemes on Instagram. I also love comics on Instagram like @lizclimo and @sarahandersencomics. Enjoy!!
