Where Have I Been?

(I try to be serious, but I just fail.)

The awkward thing about being a spoonie who is running a blog for fellow spoonies is that sometimes I fall prey to being a spoonie. Which is to say that the reason I haven't been blogging here is because a lot of things happened, including not feeling well. (Ironic.)

Though I seem to be in a good patch with my fibro, my health isn't perfect (OBVIOUSLY since I run this blog). Thus, I've been having some down days where I have a headache or brain fog or overall body pain. Now, there have been a lot of days where I feel okay. The only thing is, I don't have as many spoons as I would like. And between running a website and helping babysit, I've been a bit low on spoons. Unfortunately, that means a lot of my more personal projects have fallen by the wayside. (Don't feel too bad; even my novels, which are my life-blood, have been neglected too.)

I guess the point of this post is to say, I'm low on spoons right now... and I'm really sorry. I'll soon be back posting on this blog. It's nothing personal, and I haven't forgotten about you, I promise.

In the meantime, let me know in the comments how you've been.

Love and hugs,
Sky

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

When Mental Health and Physical Health Collide

(Can this pug just become Young and Sick's mascot? Okay, thanks, this is a thing that is happening.) Having both a mental illness and a chronic illness is kind of like this: On your good days, you manage to be okay both mentally and physically. On your worst days, well... you're Leslie Knope falling head first into a pit. (If you haven't seen Parks and Recreation , please do so now.) It can be so frustrating because when you finally have a good day without pain or a good day without anxiety, then your other illness is just waiting in the wings, ready to mess you up. Additionally, both of them play into each other. Was your anxiety caused by your sky-high pain levels, or was your crushing headache caused by the anxiety constricting your lungs and making you worry about everything ? Who really knows? If you're depressed, sometimes you get even more depressed because your joints ache and everything hurts , even your soul. It's a hard thing to battle both your body  and...

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
