[Image transcript: a series of black and white drawings surrounded by text. Each image is described followed by the text.

A woman standing in the center, wearing rectangular glasses, a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Her hair falls to her shoulders and she has bangs. Her expression is a frown and her left arm is crossed in front of her body and gripping her right arm. Text says: "I've always hated yo admit it, but I was born with a weak body. Chronic pain, weak immune system, digestive disorders, you name it"

Same woman up close, smiling and in the 'we can do it' ww2 poster pose (showing her muscles). Text says: "For a long time I just told myself: "This just means I need to work myself even harder" To keep up with everyone else and that's that"

She is now kneeling on the floor, bent over and shaking and covering her face with her right hand and clutching her stomach with her left hand. Text says: "But my body has its limits And can only do so much"

She is doing a variety of activities: carrying boxes, eating and talking, drawing (in the background the clock says 3 am), pushing a cart with boxes, and handing someone a rectangular item at what appears to be a store. In all of these she is smiling. Text says: "But I'm so stubborn- "I won't let my illness define me" "I'm fine"

The next two images are of her laying on her side on the floor. The first shows her whole body, head down. The second shows her face, which looks to be in pain with her eyes closed, and chest which she is clutching. Text says: "But there's a difference Between that, and pretending that illness doesn't exist. It's frustrating. It hurts inside and out. It feels like I've lost to myself"

Final two images are of her in bed. The first is a up close shot of her, looking sad and wrapped in her blanket. The second shows the whole bed, and she appears to be asleep, still wrapped in her blanket. Text says: "But accepting it doesn't mean it's defining you, letting yourself rest doesn't make you weak. These are the thing I've learned. It's more important to feel okay, than to say you're okay. It's important to let yourself rest when you need it.

In the bottom right hand corner is her signature, Jen.

A reminder to myself and others: It’s important to let yourself rest when you need it 💙

I desperately needed this message today. Having an extremely painful time switching pain meds and I’m having a lot of side effects and I just have to keep reminding myself that everything happens for a reason and God works all things together for good. So while it feels like my sky is falling (which ironically it actually is raining today 😂), I just have to remember to dance in it. Thank you @kelseaballerini for this song, it always comes on when I need it most and I had it on repeat on blast allll the way down 21st ☺️🙌🏼♥️ #endoftheworld #unapologetically #kelseaballerini #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicpainproblems #spoonie #theskykeptfallingbutwedancedinit #gottagothroughhelltogettoheaven - - - *ps I’m posting this at the doctor so don’t worry I’m not driving and typing (at Vanderbilt University Medical Center)

Chronic Pain: It's not all in your head “Sometimes... disapproval of how you are managing your pain crosses over to disbelief that you are in as much pain as you say you are. They don’t believe that your pain is a legitimate enough reason to rest or nap or cry or take narcotic medications or not go to work or to go to the doctor. They might think that you are making too big of a deal out of it. They doubt the legitimacy of the pain itself. This kind of stigma is the source of the dreaded accusation that chronic pain is “all in your head.” It’s as if to say that you are making a mountain out of a molehill.” ― Murray J.

Who needs to go to the gym when putting on lotion after a shower is this fuckin’ exhausting? Probably one of the worst things about colder months but I’m not tryna to brittle and ashy.

The progression of not being able to fake healthy anymore and just breaking down from pain and utter disappointment that I can’t enjoy the day I’ve looked forward to for years. My body robs me of every good time in my life. Here’s just another thing I can add to the list of things ruined by my body. I think Taylor would understand if I couldn’t listen to the whole album tonight cause I want to be able to really fully listen to it and my brain is just consumed with pain right now

Just when I thought I was on the mend 😩 I caught my scar while getting ready for bed so checked it for damage... to discover there is a hard lump under the skin and further down is a hole! It's the bit that took an extra week to heal up (or at least I thought it had healed!) And would explain why I feel permanently tired with almost daily migraines and why the swelling seemed to get worse! Fingers crossed my alarm actually wakes me up in the morning and I don't sleep through it like I have every day for a week! - - - - - #thr #totalhipreplacementrecovery #totalhipreplacement #hipreplacement #hipreplacementrecovery #poorlygirl #postsurgerylife #postoperative #postop #10weekspostop #spooniestrong #spoonielife #chronicpainproblems #chronicpainwarrior #scar #scarsforlife #scarredforlife #scarred4life

Don't waist your life dying . Remember to live! This can be soo easily done in today's society that tries to tell us we owe our lives to growing up, getting a good education so that we can work our whole lives (even doing jobs we hate)and then it guilts us if we're unable to work, if we are to ill we much be forced to ask for help and then made to feel guilty for needing the help. #live #dontdie #itsyourlife #lieyourlife #spoonielife #chronicpainproblems
