Losing my incredible dad to a rare and horrific neurodegenerative disease. Feeling the suffering of my family as we all attempt to cope with what we’ve experienced, and now the loss that we feel. Emotionally and mentally I’m struggling to not be drowned by giant unpredictable waves of grief, while also trying to balance out the constant injuries, never-ending pain, sleepless nights, and limitations which Ehlers Danlos Syndrome puts on on me. I have so many churning, powerful emotions that I want to join a boxing club and beat the shit out of something. 🥊 But...this is life. It’s tough. It’s rough. It’s unpredictable. Some people have it easier, some people have it worse. The best we can do is TRY and take care of ourselves as these things in life happen to us. I still #buildaladder every day, even when I’m feeling glum. 🔨 I’m reading books on dealing with grief. 📚 I’m seeing a counsellor so that I don’t deal with these mental burdens alone. 🗣 I go to physiotherapy weekly to deal with my EDS. 💪🏻 All of us are dealing with our own struggles. Sometimes you feel like you’ve reached rock bottom. You’re just a sooty, piece of coal in the darkness🖤but if you TRY to cope with these dark moments, rather than give up, the pressure will turn you into a rock-hard diamond, capable of facing anything that comes your way in the future...all while looking shiny and sparkly. 💎 I’m not a diamond yet, but I won’t let this pressure I’m feeling crush me into dirt. 😤 I’m going to keep facing it. I’m going to try and get better. No giving up! Who’s with me?!」8月27日 11時46分
