@Jesswithjoy @ThePOTSPostman I say “I’m still here” or some similar variation depending on the situation and who asks!

[Shelley @NWSBella]

@broadwaybabyto I’m so sorry! I read your posts regularly and didn’t realize your absence bc I also moved 4 weeks ago and have barely had the energy to read any media or news. Just fighting to get through each day. Sending positive thoughts to you.

[Shelley @NWSBella]

Don’t dispute Covid in the gut! Also believe there’s something more… I was diagnosed w/o symptoms-female, very fit, vegetarian, no genetics at 49yo just over 10 years ago stage 3B…just as early onset rise was sounding alarms and lowering colonoscopy age recommendations. I 🙏 the links are found btw all mentioned and more to STOP too many illnesses and deaths from #ColorectalCancer ☮️🎗️💟

It’s so hard to feel medically burned out and have to continue seeking medical care.

Been snowing almost non-stop in Redmond/Kirkland (top of North Rose Hill area) all day! Pic of 3 inches top of outdoor table 9:20am. Not much more accumulation, but going strong & temps going down now. Wild but pretty March 13th! #wawx #SeattleSnow @NWSSeattle @CityOfRedmond

@PhoebeLanei4 WOW!

Hope yours returns soon!

Anxiety isn't always panic attacks.
Sometimes it's:
Overthinking every text.
Replaying conversations for hours.
Feeling like something's wrong, even when it's not.
Needing reassurance but feeling annoying for asking.
It's exhausting & invisible.

@recovery_your EXACTLY

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

When you’re first diagnosed with chronic illness you do a ton of explaining.

You explain the symptoms.
The cancellations.
The flares.
Why you’re tired again.

You try to make it make sense.

But after enough misunderstandings, enough “you seem fine” responses, you realize the explaining isn’t changing anyone’s way of thinking.

So eventually, you stop explaining yourself and conserve that energy instead.

@ThePOTSPostman With the exception of a few truly empathetic people in my life, this couldn’t ring more true….

[ArianeK 💜 #Care4Complex (she/her) @arianek]

Everyone repeat after me: complex and post viral illnesses are NOT caused by wrong thinking or attitudes, and thus cannot be cured by right thinking or attitudes.

These are NEUROIMMUNE (and often autoimmune) diseases, with real pathology, requiring real medical treatment!

@recovery_your 💟☮️💟 to you

[Shelley @NWSBella]

@DiaryofaSickGrl Depending on who asks, usually some form of “I’m still here”, “another day another diagnosis”, “living the dream”, or something slightly more benign…
I do NOT ever answer “fine, how about you” or “good…” etc…
Some version of honesty…always.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Chronic illnesses aren’t all that rare. But them being diagnosed and believed is.

For anyone who doesn’t get the Bad Bunny thing, let me just put this here. I’ve never wanted to be a Grammy statuette so bad in my life.

[Shelley @NWSBella]

@DiaryofaSickGrl And more isolating than most anyone w/o chronic illness could imagine.

Being chronically ill and unable to work is not a vacation. It’s torture.

Bruce Springsteen sang his newly released song, “The Streets of Minneapolis” in a surprise appearance at a benefit show in Minneapolis Friday, to raise money for the families of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were fatally shot by federal immigration officers earlier this month.

“This is for the people of Minneapolis, people of Minnesota and people of our good country of the United States of America,” Springsteen said during his opening.

[Shelley @NWSBella]

One of the most powerful things I’ve heard. #BruceSpringsteen’s #StreetsOfMinneapolis song will forever document this tragic time in U.S. history. Music resonates in so many ways.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.

“Streets of Minneapolis”.

He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.

Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can
