Weak

I never wanted to be the weak one.

And yet here I am.

Everything has come to a head today. I am fatigued. So, so tired. I'm barely sleeping because I'm itching and anxious. The itching and anxiety are directly connected it seems; when I have anxiety, my skin feels like it's burning from the inside out. And unfortunately, that's pretty much been all the time.

People say all the time, "you're so brave. you're so strong. you're so positive."

Honestly, I don't feel that way.

I have yelled at my mom this week more times than I'd care to count. I've cried and cried and cried and cried. I've yelled at God, I've been so angry. I've punched my mattress a few times because I literally do not know how to handle this.

I'm not as positive and great at this as everyone thinks I am. I'm really not.

I'm kind of having a breakdown today. It's been two months of a living hell and I want it to stop.

But it won't stop.

I feel abandoned by God, like He isn't listening. I feel lonely. I feel anxious. I feel fearful and panicked and oh, so tangled up inside.

I feel weak.

So this is me admitting it to the world, to myself, and to God. And this is me asking for help, from God, and whoever is out there who can give me little glimmers of hope to hold onto. Because I know my story's not over yet... but it sure as heck feels like it is.

And I need something--no, I need Someone--to help me carry on.

    sweet Kylie. Thank you for your honesty. I know exactly how you're feeing. I was telling my friend earlier that I'm fighting bitterness about all this health stuff. All those 'it will get better, hang in there, etc etc." sayings honestly don't help even though their said from the heart. I know EVENTUALLY I will get better, I can dream about it but that doesn't help the pain I'm in RIGHT NOW. The only thing that has kept me going is God. He's revealed more and more to me just in the past few weeks. His plans are so amazing and His love overwhelming. It covers everything. And because I believe He loves me and has the best for me I will fight the bitterness and anger. I will not turn away from Him because that would just be worse for me. When we are at our weakest, He is the strongest. Again, I don't know WHY He's having us go through this pain and suffering. But I DO know that He is mighty and awesome. and that He loves us immensely/. Because of that all of this is not in vain.

    Okay, I'm done ;) I was saying that to myself as well as you. I hope it encourages you in some way. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

    Your friend always,
    Marissa

    Hey, I know how hard it is to feel like God's not there. And I've been struggling with that, too. But He is. He is there and He loves you and He will always be by you, holding your hand. He's not gonna let you go. He loves you too much. Chin up, okay?

It's Never Going to Be Perfect // Welcome Back to Young & Sick

The thing about me is that a.) I'm a perfectionist and b.) I have anxiety. Those two things fight constantly to make life an ever-living struggle. One side-effect is that this blog has languished by the wayside for far too long. (Of course, there's also the fact that I am often way too sick to update it, but I digress.) I often worry about posts because they aren't perfect enough. They aren't good enough. They aren't done. Enough of that. This blog is never going to be perfect. My life is a constant mess. That is the very nature of living with this disease. The best service I can give to you, my readers and my friends, is to admit that and accept it, then try to move forward. So... one year after my first post, welcome back to this blog. I'm glad you're here. Let's embrace our messy, imperfect lives together. With love, Sky

In Which We Must Switch to Bloglovin

Hey all! See that little "followers" widget on the sidebar? Unfortunately, it won't be there for much longer. Its formal name is Google Friend Connect, and it's being retired by Google on July 1st, which means you won't be able to use it to get updates from me anymore. In order to keep up with Spill the Beans posts, would you do me a favor and follow this blog on Bloglovin? Bloglovin is a great alternative to Google Friend Connect and when I signed up yesterday it was virtually painless. (No pun intended!) If you'd rather, you can also subscribe by email in the sidebar as well, or use another blog reader platform of your choice. I look forward to continuing this blog and having you alongside me on the way! Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Be More :: A Guest Post by Keaghan

I lost 20 pounds this year. Most people would be glad to type that, rejoicing in reaching some New Years’ goal. I never intended to lose 20 pounds. I didn’t need to lose 20 pounds. I didn’t need to lose any weight. Especially not in the space of three months. Especially not because there were days when my stomach was so nauseated that the thought of eating was unbearable. Especially not because there were days when all I wanted to do was sleep until it all felt better. Especially not because there were days I was so tired and weary that I had no focus or energy. To look at me, you’d never know I was sick. People assume that I look young and healthy, so I must be. But the illness that edges my days, that keeps me on a six-hour schedule for my medication, that prompts me to carry fast-acting anti-nausea pills in my pocket, that causes me to bring water with me everywhere I go in case I have to take something, that keeps protein bars in my purse because if I get too hungry I’ll be nauseat...
