Disabled tip: if you have hypermobility/chronic pain, get yourself a pregnancy pillow. I wake with less pain and fewer dislocations since getting one. A lot of doctors/PTs recommend them for eds because they help keep your spine and hips aligned.
I am not sponsored by every pregnancy pillow manufacturer, I promise.
Seriously though, I wish someone had told me sooner.

The transition from abled to disabled, from skinny to fat, from mobile to immobile, from pretty to pity from health to pain from youth to fatigue from normal to...
Being a healthy-ish, beautiful teenager and then having your entire body change due to chronic illness is really difficult. And we don't talk about it enough.

Controversial post for people without Fibro:
Fibromyalgia is a neurodivergence because of Fibro fog. Our brains do not work the same as our neurotypical peers at all, and that鈥檚 not even mentioning how most of us have at least anxiety and depression along side it.

A doctor explained fibromyalgia really well to me the other day so i thought I鈥檇 share:
Fibromyalgia is a condition affecting the nervous system, usually triggered by a trauma - this can be a medical trauma, physical or emotional trauma.
Following an adverse experience, your nervous system becomes over active as it tries to avoid another trauma, and so at the slightest sign of stress - exercise, tension, negative emotions, etc - it sends pain signals so you鈥檒l stop.
The weird thing is, if you鈥檙e doing something and enjoying it, the nervous system is less likely to freak out because you鈥檙e happy and releasing endorphins. This is why some days we can do lots and others nothing at all!

Grieving Past Lives
Something to consider about chronic illness, mental illness, addiction, disabilities, whatever it is that you may be struggling with now, is that it's okay to grieve a past life. I don't mean this in a philosophical or existential sense (you are welcome to believe in whatever you believe in), but what I do mean is that everyone grows. Everyone has a different life that they once had. Think of who you were when you were in high school, or as a teenager. Is that the same person you are now, if you are an adult? If you're currently a teenager, think of your younger self - are you still that person? Every day people grow and change and learn. It doesn't matter if it's the most mundane day possible, you learned you can get through another day. You learned that weather can change. You learned that you can get out of bed instead of sleeping all day. You learned something, regardless of what it is.
So now, thinking back to chronic/mental illnesses, addiction, disabilities, etc.:
You weren't always this way. Or maybe you were. Maybe you have experienced a long-term diagnosis (or lack of diagnosis but experienced something that has significantly negatively impacted your life) that has impacted who you are and how you live. Regardless, it's okay. It's okay to wish you were once a way you used to be. If your illness or addiction has gotten worse, it's okay to grieve what life was like prior to getting worse. It's okay to grieve things that you used to be able to do. It's okay to want to go back to the times in which you felt you were truly happy, maybe without even realizing it. If you're in recovery from addiction, it's okay to grieve who you were when you were in the thralls of addiction. It's okay to think that during that time, maybe you were "better" in some way. It's okay to wish you still had that as a coping mechanism, because it may have helped you so much.
All of that is okay.
We can grieve. Grief is a process of life, and it's not just for death. Sure, you can think about grief for a past life as kind of a "death" of that past life, but that's also really hard to think about when your illness is just getting worse as the days go on, because if that's "death," then what's next?
But regardless, it's okay to grieve. It's okay to wish you could still do things you once used to be able to do. It's okay to wish for the days where you didn't have to take countless medications, just so that you can function.
