The Chronically Ill Vegan Ballerina's Mostly Holistic Lifestyle Blog
A site dedicated to feeling well and positive while being sick…and the things that I used to get me as well as possible.
Recap, along with an update. It's been 7 months since I have posted anything. And let me tell you that it has been a very wild ride with my health. Both my physical & mental health. If you haven't read my blog before, you should know that I have several chronic illnesses. In 2013, when… Continue reading Long Time, No Write…

Trying something new. Blogging on a note-taking app on my phone. I hate typing on my phone....so this will be relatively short.

Let's just say it's been a bit anxiety-producing and upsetting. I have tried to offer suggestions… Continue reading Let’s talk about stigma in the support community, and other ramblings.
For those of you who have read this in the past two days already, thank you. It was nice to share with you. I am re-sharing this because I published it less than 24 hours before the big Superbowl, and I don't think it got out to too many people. Domestic Violence is something close… Continue reading Resharing about C-PTSD and nightmares

I was, however, going to write a blog this morning on week 5 of my Hempworx CBD Oil trial, but Word Press was a bit messed up, and that time has passed. Then there was the pain in my CPRS/RSD foot that made me crawl back into… Continue reading Some of my favorite things today

The above is yesterday and today's quote from the new Zen calender I got at Michael's yesterday. Anxiety… Continue reading To Fear or Not To Fear

I had migraines two days in a row. But today was better. I went to some friends' house to have conversation, tea, and… Continue reading Letting go and endurance
