Annie in wonderland

 I’ve talked quite openly about my health and disabilities, and people in my personal life have seen some unwise and unthought-out content I’ve shared. I can see where the pushback comes from, and I acknowledge that a lot of healing has been done in my personal life. But why do I talk about these issues so often and so publicly on the internet? Honestly, I started this blog focusing on media and touched a little on disability, but I couldn't keep up as so much was changing in my life. I naturally started talking more about what I knew—disability and the NDIS—because there wasn’t much content from people with lived experience in Australia. While many providers use social media for promotion, I take pride in being independent. For me, it's about myth-busting what disability looks like. I’ve even had to reevaluate my own thoughts and expectations of myself. I’ve realized that disability isn’t a dirty word. By speaking out about my experiences, I can build a community that doesn’t ...

    I forgot to do the meditation last night, but I am noticing that even with the one I am actively looking for options and getting over what I could consider a pity party and I am using the tools and programs that are open to me to work towards my goals and to set aside what goals are unachievable to me due to my disabilities or illness. But I know that I just need to work harder and that also means asking for help becoming more resilient and not “wasting time” on the internet and making excuses. But I am noticing that I am starting to go after my goals and work to get my health back and that is including my mental and physical health, and this is including facing things that I don’t want to face such as conflict, but I am reaching out to people in my personal life to have friends that are a diverse network. I am also going to look at the mission drift on the blogs and YouTube and look at whether they are even worth the heartache of continuing. Please let me know if it...

  This post is on the back of a few Netflix specials that I have watched and I am starting to transition to less chemicals and preservatives in my life so this requires a little more organization than I was expecting but organization as I am learning isn’t a one off it is a process and I am also learning that for me being blessed to have access to support workers ( care givers to the USA readers) I am then able to ask them for help.   But one of the things that I am realizing is that natural doesn’t equal safe all the time I am watching, unwell about the wellness industry and we need to be able to think critically about this industry as if you put industry after a word you need to ask what are they selling and for me, I am an amazon associate and I am honest about it as well but I do state that I am not a medical professional and to check   if it’s ok for you. But I am starting to go over to natural washing up and cleaning tools as I am going though my existing stas...

  https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/6dAmalcTDCb   Hi all so this is day two of getting my health back and that includes connecting with others that is a massive thing for me as I have massive trust issues so I am learning how to trust others and to ask for help but I am also walking a very fine line of is it simply asking for support or is it, entitled behaviors. As in getting my health back the one thing I forgot was my mental health, and that is really important to me as a person with a disability what we could consider self-care others could consider entitled, but it’s a delicate dance of is it entitled or is it a person's reactions to boundaries and this is a really interesting thing to consider, as sometimes when you get the support you need, I have seen a couple of “ interesting” reactions. These are all from my nuclear family from my wider family it’s seen as taking pressure on my family and this is kind of weird because my family feels “put out” by the fact th...
