Im lucky I don’t catch many bugs - but when I do, that’s me out for the count, for weeks, sometimes months.
I’m lucky I have some support to help me through - but many don’t have family or friends to help, or formal services and access to funding for help when they need it.

Before COVID, I didn’t know I was Autistic, or going blind, or had POTs and Diabetes.
Disability doesn’t come with a nice pamphlet on what to do when you catch a mild bug, or when something upsets your homeostasis. Mostly, you have to wing it and hope it works.

I’m coming through the other side of it now, after WEEKS of being bed bound.
It flattened me.
I couldn’t prepare food for myself, most days I couldn’t do more than go to the bathroom.
The fatigue has been extreme, and brain fog.
Mentally, experiencing this has been more than difficult.

1/ I could be wrong - maybe it’s just a bad day - but it certainly seems like millennials are being royally screwed, no matter how high their education or type of work we do - it seems increasingly the only people who have a fair go are those who can draw on generational wealth.

1/ Reflection is crucial in our roles, it helps us be better at our job - and self care is equally important.
Do what you need to do to process the stressors from this week: journal it, talk with a peer supervisor or therapist, exercise or… have a big ol’ snotty cry sesh (my personal favourite).

2/ Im also glad tried and true wisdom (and science) works, even when I don’t want it to - that moving my body does in fact, help keep the Big Sad at bay, and helps me process and release stress.
Much to my annoyance, it dang well works a treat.

1/ I’m thankful I now live in a community where the council makes the effort to ensure parks, shops, roads etc are reasonably accessible - wide, well maintained paths mean I don’t have to expend as much energy worrying about slips, trips and falls when I just need to unwind and empty my mind.
