Arthritis may interfere in your daily routine when it inflames. It may be painful when you move too much, but limited movement is not good as well. Balance is key. Avoid wasting your energy by planning and placing things smartly so you avoid pain. #wearemore than #arthritis

Pain caused by Chron’s disease is are always invisible to others. It may keep you from doing things; it may stop you from enjoying many activities you used to enjoy before. It’s important to talk to medical partners to ask support. #wearemore than #Chrons

[WeAreMore @WeAreMoreApp]

Chron’s disease is a chronic life-long disease that affects you and your relationship with everyone else you interact with. Accept your fragile moments and do not hesitate to ask for help. Guide them by saying the kind of help you need. #wearemore than #Chrons #colitis

Many kids with autism have difficulty with words & communication using verbal language is very challenging, but it doesn’t mean to say they are not talking to us. It is still a form of communication which requires more senses aside from hearing. #wearemore than #autism

“Appreciate the small victories your child may achieve. Love your child and take great pride in each small accomplishment. Focus on what they can do instead of making comparisons. Love them for who they are rather than what they should be.” #wearemore than #autism

“You are never prepared for a diagnosis of autism. It is likely that you will experience a range of emotions.

Part of moving forward, is dealing with your own needs and emotions along the way.”

A diagnosis of ASD with someone in the family always breaks a new ground. It will be uneasy, uncomfortable, new, a bit scary and strange. It may never be easy but it will get better. #wearemore than #autism #ASD

[WeAreMore @WeAreMoreApp]

It is a severe and complex illness that does not choose gender. It does not have a size, shape or color. It started a long time ago before it begins to manifest itself. ED is beyond eating habits and it can severely damage a person’s well-being. #wearemore #eatingdisorder

When #depression kicks in know that it looks so much like one is really sick. When you see your family or friends in this condition, it helps to shower them with as much support as you can. Give them food in bed. #Respect their pace. Let your support embrace. #wearemore

“When you are first diagnosed with #bipolar disorder or suspect you may have it due to your moods and symptoms, you can feel incredibly out of control and overwhelmed. The most important thing to do is to take it day by day and get the right support.”
