Soft grit, loud coffee, relentless pain. Talking spoons, 🥄 talking cats 😺— both make sense here. I'm sharing the messy + the funny sides of being a spoonie. 😀 DM is always open

Another moderately enjoyable visit with my paternal unit. It always makes me nervous when I have a good visit with either one of my parents. I don't trust it. They are up to something. Time to relax, pet my Munchkin baby, and let my gummy do its thing.

If I've said it once I've said a million times. I do not follow back blank profiles.

But now I'm taking it further. If your profile is low energy (2-3 words) I won't follow you either. You are most likely bots anyway.

An AI pic of a arm showing the bones inside and a cat with the text studies show that a cats purr isn't just soothing, it uses the same frequencies as medical therapies. The vibrations can help heal bones, encourage tissue growth and help wounds heal faster.

No one talks about the freeze response because it doesn't look dramatic. It looks like someone who still goes to work, still replies to text, still smiles at the right moments. But inside? Numb. Disconnected. Dissociated. Your body's here, but you're not. It's the trauma response that gets praised because it looks like "resilience" but it's not resilience. It's shut down disguised as stability

I didn't know, but it makes so much sense!!

CPTSD and Noise

One lesser known symptom of CPTSD is intolerance of various noises. This is not just loud, sudden noises that cause the starter reflex, the noise intolerance is also anti-repetitive noises, competing noises and high-pitches. The skin cause irritation and increased anxiety

Thanks!
I'm just a little concerned about recovery. I know they want you up and walking to speed healing, but I'm in a wheelchair so idk how that's gonna work. I guess I'll find out.

With chronic illness, we will never "get well soon"

Just got off the phone with pre surgery registration. I guess it's official. I'm having hysterectomy on October 30th. Thankfully, it will be laparoscopic and robotic so recovery shouldn't be too bad. Fingers crossed 🤞

My body: exhausted.
My brain: “let’s overthink every decision since 2008.”

Goodnight from your local soft grit spoonie running on stubbornness and a heating pad 💫

If your bedtime routine includes pain, anxiety, or just vibes, you’re my people
Drop a 💤 so I know I’m not the only one still awake.

my fiance just told me he can't take FMLA to take care of me after my hysterectomy.

He is off for the week right after, but after that I'm worried that I won't be able to do anything.

Yikes! 😳

I feel an anxiety attack coming...

*send calming thoughts please*

The waiting and the unknown 😭

Some trauma isn’t loud or obvious. It’s growing up around instability. It’s being gaslit until you doubt your own memory. It’s never feeling safe enough to rest.

You don’t have to prove your pain to deserve healing. 💛
