Chronic SOS - May 2, 2024

Hey everyone!

It's been a while! I took time off due to my health, but I've had a major development there - more on that soon. The biggest issue was a major infection in my abdomen that put me in the hospital a few days, then recovering from that. I'm slowly getting back to normal, so I should be posting and writing more.

For now, I'm going to share some of the memes I collected during my rough patch:

I thought I'd start with my mood for all of March and around that time. This is exactly what my pillow heard on a regular basis.

This meme should be called the “Moan-a Lisa” and is unfortunately close to how I've looked many days. But hey, recovering isn't a beauty pageant!

This one I threw in due to the current widespread obsession with Stanley cups. At least I did get a nice hospital mug from all of this…

And for this last meme, remember that if you're overwhelmed and struggling, it's fine and healthy to take breaks:

If you're like me, you might try to push yourself to be productive, even if you're feeling unwell. Pushing yourself too far - especially when you're already overwhelmed or sick - is unhealthy and can worsen your current situation. Remind yourself to take breaks and ask for help when you need it instead of overdoing it and prolonging your suffering.

Take care!
