Health Anxiety Sucks Because

Anyway don’t be like me, listen to your body and take breaks when you need to. That goes for stuff other than exercising too, like if you’re doing any type of activity and you feel your brain and body start to be like “heeeeeeeey can we slow down?” That’s a sign that you should take a breather, or dial it back, or whatever. Knowing how and when to listen to your body is your most important tool to manage your symptoms.

It’s also an important tool to help you like. Be a happier, chiller person.

Yet again stuck in the pattern of

Works out to help my fatigue -> experiences joint pain because I was too rough -> takes a day to rest because of my joint pain -> experiences fatigue because I haven’t been working out -> works out to help my fatigue -> becomes the chronically ill equivalent of Sisyphus, trapped in a self inflicted loop of being tired and achey all the time

I love seeing a post I have absolutely no context for.

Like one of my mutual’s mutual’s mentioning their blorbos by name. But I’ve never heard of the characters, so what do I do? Well I go to the tags, of course. Surely there will be some context in the tags, something I can google to get further information.

But the tags are a string of incomprehensible acronyms and more characters I have never heard of. “#japsabelle and ameileian fr,” you say. “#my favorite hgspmal characters,” you say. “#me in episode 15 of PLOMBOAS when jamblamber kisses kolmbem,” you say.

And I stand there, and I stare at your post. And I do not know what it means. I do not understand these strange words and letters on my dash. But I’m glad that whoever your blorbos are, they bring you this much joy.

Hi Hughie Stone Fish from Lewberger helped write the hippo vore song from puppet history.

Hughie Stone Fish hippo vore.

That’s all I wanted to say thank you.

New video out today! If you’re looking for some motivation this week, one open up the Thera-Pets deck with me! All 64 cards were illustrated and written by Kate Allan, author of “You Can Do All Things:”

“This person has harmed me in unbelievable and unforgivable ways” and “this person has experienced unbelievable and unforgivable harm from others” are not mutually exclusive. A lot of times the people who abused you were abused themselves. That’s an explanation, but it’s not an excuse. Don’t let people get away with shit just because shit happened to them. And don’t let the shit they do to you influence you to do shit like that to other people.

Break the cycle, babes. But remember you can only do that if you acknowledge it exists.

This one’s just like a freak tbh

Totally normal warmup sketch that’s normal and cool and not weird at all

The spirit is willing, but the flesh would like just a quick break please, just really quick, just like a five minute sabbatical

Any other chronically ill folks have advice on dealing with hot flashes? My autoimmune disease is kicking my ass rn

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)
