This is a blog to give support, promote healing and empowerment, and share stories about people living with mental and physical chronic illnesses--including but not limited to, dysautonomia, POTs, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, etc. I know I am much more than just another sick girl! This blog was made a long time ago and I never wanted to change the name! We are more than our chronic illnesses even when it feels like we aren't!

Spoon Theory
It has been an off week and a half for me. Last Tuesday, my POTS decided to kick me in the ass, I was in bed by 4 p.m. and stayed there for the rest of the night. So while I was in bed, I was thinking to myself what did I do wrong today? I drank enough water, I ate my meals, I didn't over exercise... I thought that maybe I just did too much the day before that I had used some of Tuesday's spoons for Monday. Then, I realized that I had never actually read the original spoon theory story, I only knew what it was because of other blogs and vlogs. So I decided to look it up and found it helpful. I hope you find it helpful as well. It doesn't apply to everyone with a chronic illness but it applies to some. Also, if it doesn't apply to you or you don't have a chronic illness it is helpful to understand those with these types of chronic illnesses. So here it is: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/
