Living through Tumultuous Times with Chronic Illness

 Lyme, EDS, Pain, Insomnia, Fatigue, Stress, Doctors, Repeat.

Then throw in all the craziness of the world right now. More stress.

How can we heal when we are in a constant fight or flight mode? How can people that cause the stress live these long healthy lives?

How can other chronically ill patients support people who cause this stress? 

I am just so sad. 

We live in a world where people do not care about others. Not everybody, but too many. 

We have a crazy president and a team of sycophants that surround him and enable him. 

We all risk losing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. But so many for some reason, still stand behind this maniac. I just don't understand it. 

Again, I am sad. In pain, and sad. 

I know a lot of balance is needed right now in this world. Trying to do the little things you can, while still taking care of yourself. Trying to stay informed of what is going on in the world, but still taking mental health breaks when you need them.

It's so hard to feel helpless, and hopeless. But I know there are people out there fighting the good fight.

I remember when I used to be able to. Now I watch, glued to my tv screen, watching our country crumble and taking a big part of the world with it. 

This is what I want the world to be. I pray one day it will be.
