    I like to watch peoples videos when I’m sick or in a flare it’s so comforting knowing I have a community that understands, I also spend so much time after a shower laying. I feel like I do everything so slow 😂 Thank you for sharing ❤

      Thank you so much for watching! 💕😊 You absolutely have a community! Finding the chronic illness community has done wonders for my mental health, knowing we all understand and validate each other and what we deal with.
      I get that so much, I'm so slow too 😂

    I started doing weekly chronic illness vlogs recently, and that's week's included a crash day. I agree - it's good for others to see us when we're not well enough to be out and about. I hate that "it must be nice to take a nap every day!" Easy meals are key! Thanks for sharing this honest glimpse into your life!

      Thank you so much! I will check your vlogs out, you're so right about it being good for people to see us at all points in our life so they can really understand what a full time job taking care of ourselves is!

    Thank you so much for sharing. I feel less alone just knowing I am not the only one struggling with days like this!

      Thank you so much for watching! 😊 I'm so glad I could help you feel less alone, that's one of the hardest part of being chronically ill, it's so isolating

    Im flaring right now. this video is helping me get through. Talk about those easy meals! Ive never eaten so much frozen pizza in my life. Saving energy is key. I gotta get a stool so i can sit down and cook.

      I'm so glad I was able to help! Thank you for watching 😊 I actually have an easy meal video planned for November (I'm doing Halloween themed videos for October)! I absolutely understand the frozen pizza, they are handy to have for really bad days, but you get sick of them so quickly!
      I will let you know when that video goes up in a few weeks!! 😊

      I love the stool idea!! I have Crohn's so I would like to start cooking more as it is much easier to control what's going into my body. I used to love frozen pizza but now they make me flare almost every time 😢

    I’m disabled with Addison’s disease, fibro, Hashimotos and RA. It’s nice to see people I can relate to. I spend so much time resting that I wonder what a day looks like for other people in this position.
    I really want to get up and exercise to move my body but there’s no energy in my body

      I totally understand that, before I got sick I was a really active person and now I struggle to do much of anything! It's hard to watch people do things so effortlessly because it can make you feel left behind, so I'm glad I could help show you that you aren't alone! I have plans to do more videos like this because they really seem to resonate with people ☺️ thank you for watching! 💕

    Hands down, basic hygiene tasks are exhausting on days like this. You get it, girl. I have a channel @gimpingwithcorey that talks about chronically feeling sick and disabled from cancer. Love the animal features

      I'm in a flare right now and I swear, it felt like moving mountains to brush my teeth this morning 😂 thank you for linking your channel! I'm always looking for more chronically ill creators! I know we are a bit rare because of our situations lol

      Amazon is the best place to get one 😊 Just search "Tens unit" and there will be plenty of options!

    Omg you have no idea how much I needed this video lately. I’m flaring right now and fighting with insurance; everything is such a headache and I struggle with figuring out which illness to prioritize at any given moment. It’s ridiculous 😭

    • @xosammtastic

      I'm so sorry you're struggling 😔 dealing with insurance is not just a full time job sometimes, it's actual torture! You're not alone though! This time of year is absolutely terrible for me and you're so right, which one do you pick to focus on first when they are all ruining your life lol I hope you can get all the rest you need and the flare starts to calm down soon 😊
