Pro’s Well guys, I’ve so far made it to 3/4 of my classes, I am still in awe that I have made it this far with only fatigue. It’s so crazy to think that I’m sitting in a classroom just like normal people. The only time I felt left out was when my professor was…

I have a pit in my stomach right now. This is the day I dreamed of all summer: the day where I would get to return to school. We didn’t know that I would be able to make it to this day in this short period of time. Although I am not perfect I am…

Everyone has an alter ego or different life behind closed doors. I’ve been sharing mine with you guys since May.  Most of my friends and family don’t really know what I go through on a day to day basis. They only know the “Sydney who looks pretty good, and doesn’t seem too sick” or “Sydney…

I’ve been filled with anxiety the past week with starting up classes again. I really don’t want a repeat of last semester. Last semester (you probably know) I gradually went downhill over a period of weeks. I got so ill that I had to finish my semester from my dorm for the most part. I…

“It feel like my life ain’t mine” Logic’s song 1-800-273-8255 is so relatable to chronic illness even though it’s for suicidal purposes. People with chronic illnesses tend to have depression.

Hey Guys! Okay, so I know I’ve talked about this before but I had signs of autoimmune disease when I was growing up we ignored. If you have any symptoms of anything I recommend getting checked out before its too late-better to be safe than sorry. I am just going to go into some of…

For those of you who don’t know what FOMO means it means Fear Of Missing Out. I’m sure at one point or another you guys have all felt that way. For me, I feel it all of the time. Personally, I think social media makes it worse. When I see my friends out or doing…

I don’t think anyone likes the idea of needle going into their skin. When I was a kid, I was petrified of needles, having to be held down for each shot I got. I would have never thought an injection would be my life line when I feel my worst. To this day, I cannot…

This is an extremely personal post. Learning to love myself is a hard struggle right now. My body is ever-changing and it can be very overwhelming for me. Earlier this year, I was getting too skinny due to being poisoned on my medication. I thought I looked amazing. I felt much more confident in wearing…
