A Sense of Purpose
Today I have dealt with "bipolar" emotions - although I had my sort of "normal" daily things to do, the total of these things wasn't great, and I felt, as I have been feeling more and more over the last few months, that I have been slipping into something like a very deep depression. HOWEVER, … Continue reading A Sense of Purpose
A Thought “Experiment” for the “Healthy”
If you are one of the lucky "healthy, normal" people out there reading this, I have a favor to ask of you. I guess this would work only if you are over the age of 30 as well, so my apologies to any younger readers - I am quite sure I have plenty of questions … Continue reading A Thought “Experiment” for the “Healthy”
Managing Expectations
I want to make this as brief as I can in order to "train" myself to write shorter posts. For those of us who deal with chronic illness, it is absolutely CRUCIAL that we learn to "manage our expectations." Basically, this means giving up being a blind optimist and giving up being a pessimist based … Continue reading Managing Expectations
“If I Were Healthy …”
There is this little game I like to play with myself when I'm feeling down in the dumps or depressed or just very ill - for functional purposes, I will call it "If I Were Healthy." The idea is that I think back to the days before I was so sick (or, perhaps, the "pauses" … Continue reading “If I Were Healthy …”
THE PROBLEM Defining “Chronic Illness”
Throughout all of these posts and all of my "posts" on "Social Media" (and the posts of others with chronic illnesses for that matter!) I have realized there is a certain "dilemma" that faces everyone who "suffers" from a chronic illness (or chronic illnesses) - namely, that the term "chronic illness" doesn't really carry with … Continue reading THE PROBLEM Defining “Chronic Illness”

For now, I just want to talk about something I'm sure you've either heard or said yourself:"I'll sleep when I'm dead!"Now, the general insinuations here are: 1. … Continue reading Wednesday Wisdom! “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead!”
Tautology Tuesday! “Wasted” Time?
I am one sick chick today. HOWEVER, I am really trying to write a post every day as frequently as I can do so - I also want to get back on YouTube at some point and "restart" there; I know I had started to focus in on makeup / beauty kind of stuff because … Continue reading Tautology Tuesday! “Wasted” Time?
Friday Frustrations – Facing Symptoms During the Beginning of Remission / Minor “Cases”
Today I would like to "vent" about something that has been a continual source of frustration for me for the past few years, namely, the combination of "minor" complaints from people who suffer from moderate-to-severe chronic illness (and are in the state preceding remission) and those that come from people who have such minor illness … Continue reading Friday Frustrations – Facing Symptoms During the Beginning of Remission / Minor “Cases”
