I’m so sick of being stereotyped because of my age. Stop telling me I’m too young to be sick. No one is too young to be sick. I’m told this by everyone, including doctors. Yes doctors. The people that are supposed to help you. I’m written off and pushed aside in the medical field because this “couldn’t possibly be happening to me, you’re too young.” Enough. I’m not a number, I’m a person and I matter.
No one can accept that I have RA so they have the same exact reactions. Friends, family, employers, doctors, everyone. If no one else can accept and acknowledge it, how am I supposed to..

Self care isn’t just bubble baths and clear skin.
Analyze your thoughts, check in with yourself, how are you handling daily stress, are your coping mechanisms healthy, are you taking care of your responsibilities, are you physically healthy (NOT JUST EXTERNALLY)
