I can’t “positive think” my way out of chronic illness. I can stay positive while dealing with chronic illness, but that won’t stop the fact that I am chronically ill.

Let's be real: one of the best things about pets is how they react when you don't feel well. ⁣
⁣
Do I wish that I didn't have health issues? Obviously. Do I love when Harley lays his head on my chest because he loves me and knows I don't feel well? Also obviously. ⁣
⁣
I don't live with any pets at the moment - my parents have Harley and Piper and while I spend a lot of time with all of them, I live elsewhere - which definitely makes me sad. But I'm not at a place where I can have a pet, especially given how much time I spend at my parents' house. But I'm so glad that I can have that time with Harley and Piper. ⁣

One of the things many people don’t get about chronic illness is that so many illnesses do not have a treatment available. You can treat the symptoms, you can change your life to try to make symptoms better. But some illnesses do not have a treatment available for you to take.⁣

If I could tell my pre-diagnosis self anything, it would be ... ⁣
⁣
▪ You're not imagining or exaggerating anything⁣
▪ Things will get worse before they get better ⁣
▪ There WILL be a day when you have a job, live independently, and manage everything ⁣
▪ You'll have to cut out some common foods, but your body will thank you for it. (Without realizing it, you've been eating foods that make everything worse.) ⁣
▪ There's a much bigger family history of autoimmune disease than you realize ⁣
