Spent the day helping the hubster @casually_hardcore down at @bollylogs I find the days there really physically draining but emotionally/mentally very beneficial. The shifting of logs, meeting customers and very important business of trying to stay warm means that I have very little time to think about all the things that are going on in my brain. In some ways it is actually quite relaxing as it gives my brain a rest in a way that it doesn't get when I'm actively resting/relaxing/doing nothing. Now I'm home though, everyone's fed and I've just had a shower my body has literally gone no more for you today. I don't even have the energy to get off the sofa to make a brew (it's taken me 30 minutes to be able to type this) so will wait for a small person to wander through. Am I weird or does anyone else find it easier to mentally relax when physically active? #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthadvocate #depression #anxiety #mentalhealthmatters #mentalillness #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalwellness #selfcare #endthestigma #healthymind #healthandwellness #bloggingbed #spoonie #chronicillness #chronicpain #invisibleillness #spoonielife #fibromyalgia #butyoudontlooksick #chronicallyill #autoimmunedisease #ehlersdanlossyndrome #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnessawareness #fatigue #chronicfatigue #selflove #autoimmunewarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/B40b9TqA8oc/?igshid=m700edpxh6m1

Most start the week off with motivation, but I'm really enjoying starting off my week with a giggle 😂 as each weekend I post on the blog my 'CHRONIC ILLNESS JOKE OF THE WEEK' which can be enjoyed by sufferers & non-sufferers too, as they give everyone a humorous insight into living with chronic illness! 👍 So if like me you enjoy a good laugh, then why not pass by the blog LINK IN BIO & choose 'Chronic Illness Life' from the blog menu & there you will find each weeks jokes & posts 👌 • For motivation as well as a smile find my group on Facebook by searching: HELEN'S FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS & CHRONIC ILLNESS SUPPORT GROUP • • • • • • • #HelensJourney #JokeOfTheDay #JokeOfTheWeek #LaughterMedicine #SharingASmile #ChronicInsta #SpooniesSisterhood #ChronicBlogs #BloggingInBed #ChronicallyInspiring #BloggingBed #discoverunder5k #accupuncture #Spoonies #SpoonieChat #SpoonieJoke #ChronicPainWarrior #ChronicPain #ChronicIllnessBlogger #ChronicPainAwareness #SpooniesUnite #AlternativeTherapies #ChronicallyAwesome #ChronicIllnessBlog #supportgroup #inspiremygram #SharingIsCaring #OnTheBlog #MyPerspective https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FHJQdB6Kf/?igshid=1o8mz5vb3w72t

Chronically Hopeful Art, February 2019

Chronically Hopeful Art: come browse my February art gallery #MEartist #Watercolour #BotanicalDrawings #Lettering #BloggingBed #SpoonieBloggers

​This is the first in a new series of posts where I will share all the art I have worked on for the month. I hope to be consistent with it, but life with a chronic illness is anything but consistent, so don’t hold me to it. I am very grateful, though, that this month has been quite productive creatively and I am so pleased with the pieces that I have made. I hope you enjoy this little gallery too.

When self-doubt makes you question your own illness

When self-doubt makes you question your own illness #chronicillness #spoonies #endosisters #bloggingbed #chronicblogs

  How self-doubt nearly stopped me finding an important diagnosis… I have found myself having a very similar conversation with multiple people recently, about self-doubt about your own illness when you’re chronically ill. I’d never previously spoken about it, because, I guess, I don’t want to undermine anyone else’s belief in my illness. But when I realised that we all think it from time to time,…

I've been feeling very unsure of myself the last few days. It has been a very busy period, with a lot of family issues to navigate. Quite frankly I'm exhausted both physically and emotionally. I want to write, craft, create but by the end of each day I barely have the energy to eat my evening meal. I'm not sure what to write here...do I post about my own health, my experience as an Aromatherapist, personal trainer and coach, my enjoyment of the natural world and my witchy explorations. I'm so busy getting through each day and making sure the hubster and kids are all sorted I don't know where to start with my own stuff. When you're feeling overwhelmed with everything, how do you work out where to start? #bloggingbed #chronicillness #wherethetiredgirlsare #zebrastrong #fibromyalgia #ehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobilityspectrumdisorders #hypermobileehlersdanlos #hEDS #butyoudontlooksick #thespooniesisterhood #spoonie #coeliacdisease #invisibleillness #mentalhealth #abundantlife #blogger #writer #chroniccoven #witchy #aromatherapist #naturalhealth #spooniewitch #aromatherapy #holistichealth #wellness #wellbeing #itsokaynottobeokay #mentalwellness #emotionalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/B37skWrgDQj/?igshid=2y5wokf1u4gw

When I was working full-time as an Aromatherapist I would often attend MBS shows to help advertise my business. MBS stands for Mind, Body and Spirit and the aim would often be to help people nourish the connection between all three. As I was clinically and holistically trained this was a key principle of my practice. In recent years though I have lost that connection. I've been so busy surviving either the physical shit show or the mental hell hole I've completely neglected my spiritual side. Each thing has become sperate from the other and I think this is why I have had this niggling feeling of disconnect from myself. It's not going to be a quick fix but obviously recognising it is a strong start. Reconnecting with my witchy side is very much a part of this and for the first time in a very long time I feel on alignment with my spiritual side. #TheChronicCoven #spooniewitch #mindbodyspirit #spirituality #holistictherapy #aromatherapist #clinicalaromatherapist #holistictherapist #aromatherapy #reiki #abundantlife #witch #spiritualpath #thriving #thespooniesisterhood #wherethetiredgirlsare #lovinglifeeveryday #bloggingbed #hypermobileehlersdanlossyndrome #fibromyalgia #witchesofinstagram #seasonofthewitch #selfcare #naturalspoonie https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SdpPFgpGS/?igshid=13oqhqn0zv77v

🐰🐇🐰 It's October and even though there is a ridiculously large amount of crap occuring at present I am really excited for the month ahead. September was a very topsy turvy month, my symptoms have been all over the shop and that had massive knock on effect on my blog, my training and my studying. All three has to just be popped to the side for a while and although it was the right choice it was still bloody frustrating. At the same time my fab new car Lagertha came into our lives which is making life a lot easier and we got see Archive last week. So there was as always some highlights mixed in. So what's on the cards for October? 🎃 Visiting my bestie and my Mum this weekend. 🎃 Little Miss Ella's 11th birthday. 🎃 Girls shopping trip to celebrate aforementioned birthday. 🎃 New tattoo with @warahshitehouse 🎃 Attending @izzyfaithart exhibition at the @buttonwarehouse . 🎃 Half-term hols, I'm already ready for a few extra days with the kids! 🎃 Halloween party!!!! A busy month ahead and that's before all the appointments, clubs, activities, blog posts and other things. Do you have any plans for the month ahead? #october #newmonth #october #seasonofthewitch #halloween #mumlife #parenting #tattoo #inkedgirls #tattooedgirls #halloween #samhain #witchesofinstagram #witchy #thegoodgram #chroniccoven #bloggingbed #chronicillness #spoonielife #fibrowarrior #hypermobileehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobilityspectrumdisorders #witchyaf #witchyvibes #autumnvibes🍁 #autumn https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ESeRNApH4/?igshid=1uhcxalc7sky9

In bed feeling awful as my body tries to fight this infection I've picked up following my operation on Tuesday. I normally try to at least make it to the sofa on my worse days, but today I definitely needed the comfort and warmth of my bed. Having spent the whole day in my room though lots of little things have annoyed me and I've realised this space really does need a little TLC. So come January I'll be asking my landlord if I can decorate in the hope I can make my house more homely. #howirent #howihome #bohodecor #bohostyle #bohoonabudget #bedroomdecor #candlelighting #fairylights #twinklylights #storyofmyhome #myeverydaymagic #myeclecticmix #everysquareastory #acornerofmyhome #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #flareup #hypermobilityspectrumdisorder #fibromyalgia #autoimmunedisease #mugglesick #hypermobileEhlersDanlosSyndrome #wherethetiredgirlsare #chroniccoven #thespooniesisterhood #bloggingbed #chronicinsta #abundantlife #witchesofig #witchy https://www.instagram.com/p/B6V4anMAfld/?igshid=4yl376ttjxm4

Some days I wonder is this really what life had planned for me? The twists and turns that my life has taken, the ups and downs...were they really all needed to get me to where I am now?  Because outside of my health issues and general life ups and downs we all have, my life is actually pretty great. Some days I forget to see that.  The fog of pain and fatigue cloud everything, it can be hard to see the bright beams of my rainbows shining through the cast of grey they shadow my life with.  I have a wonderful husband, 4 amazing kids (and a daughter-in-law to be), a fantastic mum, brilliant (but insane) kittens and a great group of friends. Yes we have money struggles, our car is on its last legs and we could do with a bigger house but the important things I have in abundance.  This isn't the life I planned, but I think I'm where I'm supposed to be.  #geek #mum #wife #zebrastrong #eds #ehlersdanlossyndrome #hypermobility #hypermobilityspectrumdisorders #hypermobileehlersdanlossyndrome #hEDS #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #fibromyalgia #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniestrong #thespooniesisterhood #sickbutinvisible #dazzletogether #zebra #invisibleillness #wherethetiredgirlsare #ceoliacdisease #butyoudontlooksick #glutenfree #chronicillnessawareness #bloggingbed https://www.instagram.com/p/B0y1Rl9ggUO/?igshid=1bumgs863nymt
