サイモンとマルティナさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サイモンとマルティナInstagram)「Do you ever feel torn between two version of yourself? I’m not trying to be sad or glum. I want to be happy and productive. I love all the crazy stuff this world has to offer, and I love sharing that with you all. But truthfully, I’ve been fighting off an extremely glum Martina. She is super frustrated with putting out fires on the never-ending list of injuries. She is exhausted from the chronic-pain caused by having @ehlers.danlos syndromes and all the extra crap that comes with it. When the pain ramps up, it becomes a battle to function. Moving my body is like operating a broken robot-mecha 🤖 You’re cranky, confused, constipated, bloated, barfing, exhausted, and overwhelmed by sounds. And that’s just a few of the hurdles. It’s difficult to share all these things with friends, family, and coworkers because you don’t want to drag them down while they deal with their own personal problems 😔 But here I am sharing this with you all because I have to remind myself that I am not solo in this struggle. I don’t want other people struggling with illness, chronic pain, and trauma to feel alone in their battle. So I’m reaching out to say: Hey, I’m not doing great, but I’m not giving up. And that’s okay. We’re all doing the best we can with the hand life has dealt us. And we’ve got a community of understanding people from all around the world with whom to connect.」5月7日 1時31分
