My chronic illness and disability are of the invisible variety. But, what makes this journey even harder for me, is that most of my constant effort, work, and endurance are also invisible to people. Others just can’t see how much work I’m doing daily, or in any given moment, to manage, cope, and somewhat function as a human. For a while now, it can often appear to other people like I’m not doing much of anything. But, in reality, I’m doing so much. It’s like people can only see and perceive half of me.

Right now having a hard time focusing on the glimmers/joys that make it all worth it. They are always there, but can be harder to focus on sometimes whenever things get really tough. I really just need help that I know exists but that I can’t seem to access myself. I’ve been trying for 11 years and I’m exhausted, and sometimes scared.
