✍🏻 so why bother to journal?

living with pain, discomfort, and disability of any kind is hard and isolating. so much of our daily lives are now beyond our control.

that’s where journaling comes in.

when you begin to track your symptoms, record what you’re eating, and take a close look at your sleep quality, you can uncover things contributing to pain and discomfort. once those things are identified, you now have the power to change them. essentially, you’re taking your control back.

💌An open letter from me to you💌

📝To you, the soul living with chronic pain, invisible illness, fibro (and other auto immune disorders), and disability,

I’m just like you. I’m disabled and have been living with fibromyalgia for years. It’s a difficult path and it changes the plans we had for ourselves and the lives we wanted to lead. I know how hard the bad days can be, just as I know the joy and freedom of the good days (rare as they may be).

I made this journal when I realised the many of the disability/chronic pain journals available were not made by those living the spoonie life. We are a unique bunch and we understand one another.

all of these pages began as as the ones I would use for myself. they started as scribbles in a blank journal I had. within a couple of weeks I was able to eliminate certain food groups and certain stressors I never knew were actually bothering me. I realised my pillow wasn’t supporting my neck enough, giving me headaches.

ultimately, journaling and tracking what I was doing and how I was feeling lead me to bettering things in a way I never thought possible.

I know, this isn’t a cure. for what many of us have there is no cure. but we can make our lives better. we aren’t alone in this struggle.

Wishing you nothing but love and strength,
Rachael xoxo
