I’m having GERD right now.
Chest feels like it’s hosting a bonfire I didn’t RSVP to.
And yeah, it sucks.
But what sucks even more?
How quick my brain turns this pain into a personality trait.
Like, “Oh, you’re weak again. Surprise.”
But here’s the plot twist:
I wrote it down.
Just... “GERD. Today. 2pm. Chest tight. Mood: defeated.”
Not because it’s profound.
But because later—maybe days, maybe weeks—I’ll look back and see a pattern.
A trigger.
A truth I missed while surviving.
This is what “Where do you feel it today?” really means.
It’s not always about emotions with pretty names.
Sometimes it’s just the raw stuff:
The acid that won’t quit
The breath that won’t fill
The throat that feels like it’s holding back a scream and lunch
And weirdly?
Writing down “GERD” makes it real in a way that feels… grounding.
Like telling your body,
“I see you. I’m not ignoring this.”
Because tracking it now?
Means trusting yourself more later.
Means catching what doctors miss.
Means giving yourself proof that you weren’t just being dramatic.
This is my journal.
This is my way back to me.
Even on days when I feel like a walking side effect.

It’s not a mood tracker.
It’s a full-body permission slip.
