This blog is a personal space where I write about living with chronic illness, especially ME CFS, Fibromyalgia, mental health, disability, pacing, rest, and the everyday realities that come with long-term illness.

Everything here is written from lived experience. I share what has helped me, what has not, and what I wish I had known earlier.

I write this blog myself.

I am not a medical professional, therapist, or healthcare provider. I live with chronic illness, and I write from lived experience, learning as I go and sharing that journey honestly.

Nothing on this blog should be taken as medical advice. What I share is personal experience, reflection, and support, not instruction or treatment guidance.

From time to time, I also publish guest posts. These are supplied by PR or SEO companies and are paid placements. All guest content appears under the “Everything Else” section of the blog and is clearly separate from my personal writing. Unless a post is clearly stated otherwise, the main content of this blog is written by me.

There are a few reasons this might happen.

Sometimes I update older posts and change their URLs.
Sometimes I remove content that no longer feels accurate or helpful.
Occasionally, links break or are shared incorrectly elsewhere online.

If a page has moved, its information often still exists in a newer or expanded form.

The easiest ways are:

Use the search bar on the site if available
Visit the blog homepage to browse recent posts
Check categories or tags related to chronic illness, ME CFS, mental health, or disability
Start with cornerstone posts that explain pacing, rest, flare days, and daily adaptations

If you arrived here from a social post or saved link, the topic is very likely still covered somewhere on the blog.

Yes, occasionally.

When I review a product or share a collaboration, it is always clearly disclosed.

Opinions are always my own.

Yes, and also for people who have been living with it for years.

Some posts are practical and beginner friendly. Others are reflective and may resonate more if you have lived this life for a while. You do not need to read anything in order.

Take what helps, leave what does not.

Absolutely.

You are welcome to share links to my posts on social media or in personal spaces. Please do not copy full posts or republish content without permission.

If something resonated with you, sharing the link means a lot.

No.

This blog is not a substitute for medical care. I do not diagnose, treat, or advise on medical decisions. I share personal experiences and coping strategies that have helped me.

Always speak to a qualified healthcare professional about your own health.

I write when my health allows.

That means posting may be irregular, and that is intentional. This blog is built around pacing and sustainability, not constant output.

Older posts are sometimes updated for clarity or accuracy.

Yes, via the contact page or email listed on the site, you are welcome to reach out. Please understand that replies may be slow or not always possible due to health limitations.

I read everything with care, even when I cannot respond.

That is okay.

You might want to return to the homepage, read the most recent post, or start with a topic that matches where you are right now. Whether you are here out of curiosity, exhaustion, diagnosis, or accident, you are allowed to take your time.

This space is meant to feel gentle.
