I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2021 — and it changed everything. 💜

Some days are harder than others, but I keep showing up, even when my body feels like it’s fighting against me. Crohn’s is invisible, but it’s real.

This is your reminder to be kind — you never know what someone is going through. Let’s spread awareness and love for those living with Crohn’s and other invisible illnesses. 💪

✨ Things I Wish I Knew Before Being Diagnosed with MCAS, EDS & POTS ✨

Living with MCAS, EDS, and POTS has taught me that healing doesn’t always look like pushing harder. 💜 Rest is productive. 💜 Hydration isn’t optional. 💜 “Looking healthy” doesn’t mean feeling healthy. 💜 It’s okay to cancel plans when your body says no. 💜 Small wins deserve to be celebrated.

Last week I was diagnosed with ADHD…

…at almost 37 years old. And suddenly, so much of my childhood made sense. Many people dont realize that the average women isnt diagnosed until her 30’s — and for children ADHD is diagnosed in boys 2–3 times more often than girls. Not because girls don’t have it — but because it often looks diff

I don’t really know how to manage my symptoms, or how to tell when I need to rest versus when I can keep pushing myself. Also, I have a hard time telling if I’m in a flare up, because I ALWAYS feel like I am. What should I do? #potssyndrome #dysautonomia #disabled #chronicillnesslife

Okay, there’s a lot with this for me. I was thinking I could have this, but I don’t display some of the more stereotypical symptoms that you see in media commonly (not that I know of, at least). So much of it is internal for me. With the diagnosis now, I feel some relief, but mostly like an imposte

Things I thought were personality traits until I got diagnosed with ADHD

So many of us grow up thinking our struggles are “just our personality.” In reality, ADHD (and AuDHD) traits get mislabeled, misunderstood, or even punished, while we internalize shame. Getting the right diagnosis doesn’t erase those experiences, but it gives us a new lens: I wasn’t broken. My bra

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 16.

I was still a high academic achiever. Both things can be true. My brain was always loud. Always moving. Always thinking three steps ahead and ten steps sideways. ADHD can look like motion, overthinking, anxiety, and perfectionism especially in high achievers. What changed wasn’t discipline
