I woke up feeling horrible today. Physically, mentally and spiritually. I just don’t have the energy today to pretend like I’m not devastated by these health conditions. The hardest part is that I’m being attacked by all angles. Physically by the #ankylosingspondylitis and #potssyndrome and mentally by the #ptsd. I’m grieving the person I was before getting sick. I’m grieving the fact I’m not physically able to do much of anything. I’m grieving the loss of all of it. Besides being a #youngwidow this is the hardest challenge of my life. I had so much hope for my life, now I’m faking smiles and faking being interested in the things that used to interest me before my world crashed. I do realize everyone has bad days and that I get another chance tomorrow to have a good day, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t killing me to the core. Thank you to @positively_chronic for the words to explain how I’m feeling today. Tomorrow I will try again, and in that lies my strength, but I’m honoring my feelings for today. . .

Being a mom with an invisible illness is difficult, but it makes the good days that much sweeter. As moms or parents in general. We can't really take a sick day or a day off. And when you struggle with an invisible illness like: EDS IST POTS PPD MS Depression Anxiety ... just to name a few ... If we are able to ask for help so we can care for ourselves. Do so.... So, the next day after an episode or flare up we can actually enjoy the time we get with our little humans. #journeywithme #journeytohealth #healthjourney #healthjournal #thursdayvibes #thursday #californiamom #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #invisibleillnessawareness #ist #potssyndrome #potssyndromeawareness #eds #elhersdanlossyndrome #elhersdanlos #momjourney #momjournal #toddlermom #toddlermomlife #tryingtolive #tryingtolivemybestlife #oktonotbeok #selflove #takecareofyourself #connectingmoms #toddlerparent #depressionawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwq0HYlX6T/?utm_medium=tumblr
