DONATIONS – “What is a spoonie?” [X] – Spoonie specific sigils ALWAYS open + ALWAYS free!

Do you ever get super frustrated by your illness? Today I started getting extreme muscle pain and spasms which I think are due to not being able to eat due to my illness. I sat in a room and cried because it hurt so bad and I couldn’t even get up to go to choir which is a passion of mine.

ALL THE TIME. Daily. It’s so damn frustrating to feel like your body is failing you.

Something that’s been helping me learn to accept it and minimize the self-hatred is realizing my body is actually trying it’s best. Now, it isn’t doing the a perfect job, obviously. If it was, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

I’ve been changing my thoughts from “my body is failing me” or “my body is giving up” to “my body is trying it’s best” or “after all this shit, it’s still going” in a sympathetic voice.

It reminds me of when one of my kittens tries something but their bodies and brains just aren’t equipped for it yet. I don’t blame them, they’re giving it their all. They just don’t have to resources or capacity to do it and it’s kind of adorable.

Yeah so anyways my pain-riddled body is actually the equivalent of a confused kitten that’s genuinely trying it’s best given the circumstances, and I’m proud of it even though it usually doesn’t do the right things.

Sorry, not the alcohol type drink, but you can find a masterpost for that here! This masterpost is organized by purpose/need. The ones involving coffee are bolded, since most of them are teas! 

DO NOT BLINDLY ASSUME HERBS IN TEAS ARE OKAY FOR YOU! DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Dear spoonies with pets,

Please have a plan for when you’re unable to properly care for them. A friend who can make sure it’s needs are being met. A neighbor kid who makes a few $ by taking them for a walk. A family member ready to watch them if you end up in the hospital. Be responsible with your pets ❤️

TL;DR: Spoonies deserve pets, and pets deserve responsible spoonie owners.
