Chronic Illness 6d

My chronic illness might implode every plan I have for my first year post-grad. I used to have so much potential. So much joy. I hate this.

When I was diagnosed with mine at the very end of junior year I though the same thing, but I was able to still study abroad in Scotland for a month, I’ve moved into my own apt and have a good job I like, I adopted a dog, and life is generally pretty amazing. It’s ok to be sad and angry and grieve your old self but don’t ever give up on your new self either ❤️

Thank you. It’s taken a lot of adjusting. I’ve been able to do a lot of great things, and that wonderful. Unfortunately it’s gotten worse recently so I’ve been struggling more. I may need a pretty big surgery right when I’m supposed to be moving and starting my career so I’m really stressed about that😖

Totally understandable. It’s not fair that we have to deal with being sick on top of all the world already throws at young people. I just try to remind myself that there is no timeline for my life and I can’t be behind in life because life isn’t a race. You’ll get where you’re going, even if your path isn’t the same as others our age. We’ve got this ❤️
