Thanks Laura. More and more I feel entering into the world of ‘MBS’ was the best thing I’ve done in a long time because of meeting you and everyone else there. MBS has become SO much more than just the classes, it’s about the people too…like you!😬☮️❤️
I love this essay. I think you capture the essence of disabled life for many of us beautifully. I especially resonate with getting lost in books and words. Thank you for putting it down in words!
Loved reading this. I can totally relate as well. When that crushing fatigue comes on the fear of what’s to come can feel so heavy. And I love the “pointless precious things.” They’re like little breadcrumbs of hope
Thanks laura! I hope you have a compulsion to write as well as read as your words and experiences are healing - i resonate with so much here- frightening fatigue, panic attacks etc…♥️♥️
Beautiful, Laura. I can totally relate. I, too, am a catastrophizer (sp?). Every concern turns into something else more elaborate which, of course ends up being false.
I’ve been finding myself recently realizing that no, there is a reason you’re not able to complete all the things you were hoping to do. A nap will suit me better …. and that’s ok 🦋🎶💕😎🙏🧘🏻♀️
This is lovely, Laura. I appreciate how you connect reading with practicing empathy even if people-ing is not on the table. Very relatable, along with resisting fatigue and whatever "is." Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this Laura, I relate as well. My fatigue can feel like a crushing weight of doom and sometimes confuses me. Am I dying, experiencing a major depressive episode, having a stroke……or simply tired? My younger self never wondered these things, it wasn’t the same level of fatigue.
'pointless precious things'...lightened my heart...and are sometimes hard to focus on with pain, fatigue, life!

Thanks Judy. I know what you mean. It’s a great community. We’re lucky to have it.

I’m trying to get into a routine so hopefully I will

Oh I could be in the catastrophizing Olympics. I’d win gold.

I totally get it. I’m the same. I worry about it so much. I never did when I was younger
