Chronic Illness Truth #12

I'll never forget when I was at my worst and I would start my morning off with a handful of supplements and oils!  I used to joke with my family about how I couldn't possibly see how there was a need for breakfast after taking so many pills!  I still take quite a few supplements, but nothing compared to the 20 different capsules I used to take three times a day!

I think when you're healthy and strong, it's common to take for granted so many things in life!  Since I've been chronically ill I've realized there are so many little things I have to do every day to be able to function, and it blows my mind to think that I used to exist without supplements and essential oils when I was younger!

Being sick has definitely taught me not to take the little things for granted, because someday you may not have those things, or someday you may find that you have to add a lot of extra and difficult things to your routine in order to survive.  The chronic illness community knows exactly what I'm talking about, and this is your friendly reminder to take time to take care of yourself every day.  Because if you're chronically ill, self-care is crucial to survival.  And if you're healthy, you won't realize just how crucial, until you're chronically ill!​

Comment below if you relate to taking exorbitant amounts of pills, and comment other ways that you practice self-care!

    "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
