A little look into what brain fog can feel like and how it can impact your daily life 🌥️

Chronic conditions also affect the brain! A lot of those who struggle with chronic pain or any chronic condition also experience cognitive difficulties, or brain fog 🧠

Symptoms are different for everyone, but some of the most common symptoms are ⤵️

☁️ Inability to focus
☁️ Forgetting things often
☁️ Making frequent mistakes
☁️ Easily overwhelmed
☁️ Being indecisive
☁️ Inability to find words
☁️ Struggling to multitask
☁️ Difficulty following conversations
☁️ Feeling spaced out
☁️ Slow to process thoughts
☁️ Anxiety & Nervousness
☁️ Feeling disoriented

It’s a real symptom of mental illness, chronic illness, neurodivergence and it’s exhausting.

If this is your daily normal, I see you.

You’re not broken. You’re doing your best with a foggy brain in a world that expects clarity 24/7. 🫶🏼

Invisible illnesses are not imaginary.

WHAT YOU SEE:
✨Smiling in photos.
✨Going out with friends.
✨Posting online.
✨Working a job or attending school.
✨Running errands.
✨Exercising.
✨Acting “normal.”
✨Saying “I’m fine.”
✨Holding conversations.
✨Showing up on good days.
✨Keeping busy.
✨Being productive.
✨Having hobbies.

WHAT YOU DON’T SEE:
💭Collapsing in bed afterward.
💭Painful flare-ups.
💭Panic attacks in silence.
💭Cancelled plans from exhaustion.
💭Overthinking every symptom.
💭Brain fog that makes simple tasks hard.
💭Crying behind closed doors.
💭The guilt of not doing enough.
💭Doctors’ visits & medical bills.
💭Sleepless nights.
💭Mental burnout.

Just because someone looks like they’re “doing fine” doesn’t mean they aren’t carrying battles you’ll never see.

Invisible illnesses are real.
The struggles are real.

And the strength it takes to keep showing up every day? That’s real too. 🤍

Some of the worst things about living with an invisible illness 💭

• Constantly having to prove you’re actually sick
• Feeling guilty for canceling plans… again
• People assuming you’re lazy or dramatic
• Doctors that dismiss everything as “stress”
• The constant grief of missing your “old self”
• Flare-ups ruining everything last minute
• Smiling through symptoms so you don’t freak people out
• Being told “but you don’t look sick”
• Waking up more exhausted than you went to bed
• Feeling like your personality is buried under symptoms
• The pressure to explain when you just want to exist
• The loneliness that no one sees

If you relate to any of these, you’re not alone. Invisible illness doesn’t make you invisible.

Your experience is valid, even if others can’t see it. 🤍

It’s okay if you… (Chronic Illness Edition) 🤍

✨It’s okay if you cancel plans last minute because your body said nope.

✨It’s okay if you spend more time resting than “being productive.”

✨It’s okay if you struggle to remember things or form words on bad flare days.

✨It’s okay if you don’t have a diagnosis yet (or are still figuring it out).

✨It’s okay if you say “I’m not okay today” even if you were okay yesterday.

✨It’s okay if you feel frustrated, sad, or angry about your reality.

✨It’s okay if you need more time to recover after doing simple things.

✨It’s okay if you wake up exhausted no matter how much you sleep.

✨And it’s okay if you avoid explaining your condition every single time.

Chronic illness is hard enough, you don’t need to carry guilt on top of it.

You’re doing the best you can, and that is more than enough.

Things I Think But Rarely Say (Chronic Illness Edition) 💭

These thoughts pop up more often than I care to admit… and I know I’m not the only one.

✨ “What if I never get better?”
✨ “Is this pain normal… or something new?”
✨ “I wish I had the energy to do normal things.”
✨ “They say I look fine… but I’m barely holding it together.”
✨ “Is it worth explaining, or will they just dismiss me?”
✨ “How do I keep pretending I’m fine all the time?”

If you’ve ever had even one of these thoughts, please know:

You’re not dramatic.
You’re not weak.

You’re just dealing with way more than most people see. And you don’t have to carry it all alone.

If this resonates, drop a comment or share a thought you rarely say out loud. You never know who it might help feel seen. 🤍
