Stop Pushing Your Damn Positivity! – broken down body
https://brokendownbody.wordpress.com/2017/01/10/stop-pushing-your-damn-positivity
Stop Pushing Your Damn Positivity! January 10, 2017. Back in my day. Something I think about a lot – and blog about a lot – is positivity. We praise positivity and as a result, we sort of shame negativity, however valid it may be. People are encouraged to be. Other people. It inspires people to push past adversity and to be the best, most successful version of themselves. Except, it doesn’t allow other personality traits to flourish, such as empathy and kindness. I am Ren, the speaker of truth…. I go thr...

The Lion and the Peacock. January 10, 2017. January 10, 2017. The Lion and the Peacock. Next time I’m complaining that my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome has turned me into a useless blob, I’m going to remind myself that my fellow EDS-er, blogger and spoonie wrote a freakin’ book! It’s not very long, in fact, it only took me an hour to read it on my Kindle app which is good as an hour is. The limit of my attention span these days. The Lion and the Peacock.

I’m not a doctor and I am not writing this as medical advice. It is just my experience of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
