RE: Limited mobility | Unlimited stories: what is a Spoonie and am I one too?
What a heartfelt post. Thank you for this level of yourself. It takes an enormous amount of courage to make this kind of revelation.
Which I obviously lack. I have a long term disorder that I don't ignore exactly but that I refuse to admit to. I live life on my terms, and reserve the right to run out of spoons once in a while. If you can't accept that I am completely out of spoons the door is right there. Please shut it behind you because I don't have the energy.
Thanks Soyrosa. Your story has given me heart. I appreciate it.
Hey @bigtom13! I truly appreciate your comment!
Being vulnerable and 'acknowledging' is not an easy step to take. I've ignored a lot of my 'stuff' in the past, but have discovered being open and vulnerable about it actually helps. I've 'opened up' a few times before and have often, later, getting back: "Thank you for doing this, because you opened up I was able to... [insert awesome action taking]" - so I've learned it's almost always worth it to do so.
It's still not an 'automatic' thing to do for me personally, but I do it anyway.
Thanks for reading and 'seeing' the courage, and for letting it 'give you heart'. Take your time and do things on your own pace,* it's okay*!
