I’m a strong women but sometimes I have days where I just can’t take the world 🌎 and the people in it.

Lately been feeling down. I can be in a room full of people and laughter and still feel alone. Grieving for my old self to come back again. Dealing with Essential Thrombocythemia that causes me to have chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, bone pain, peripheral vision loss, body burning and itching is overwhelming. I feel like I can only depend on God and my dog 🐕.

My supplement arsenal! I have been taking the ACV gummies for about a year and it has definitely done wonders. I’ve decreased my amount of times in hospital because of low levels (my #essentialthrombocythemia family know what I am talking about). I’ve been taking the Ashwagandha ones for about a month and I saw a difference in a week in my overall mood and sleep. I just started the superfruits and I’m excited to see the benefits. @goligummy thanks for making vegan gummies packed with great stuff!! #goligummy #supplementsthatwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CP5xv0dLBw_/?utm_medium=tumblr

I was recently asked why all the new #tattoos my response; “I decided to tell my story and remember that I overcame a lot and I continue to fight adversaries (#essentialthrombocythemia #migraines #mentalhealth #past) and everything else. I think this quote is so fitting. https://www.instagram.com/p/CK_b0QBrqZ3/?igshid=6mqrn0t98vpr
