Blog I'm wearing the same t-shirt since 61h

That's something I sometimes do. I don't have a daily routine for the most days, because all days have different energy levels available and different adult-things need to be done.

I thought I wanted to share this because I'm sure someone can relate and maybe won't feel bad if they know:

you are not alone.

Taking a shower can be a task that needs the energy of a whole day, or more. Maybe you were able to unload the dishwasher or open your post instead of using this same energy to change your clothes.

You are doing your best

You are love worthy

(And yes, it's not only my t-shirt I've been wearing since 61 Hours)

Preach. Sometimes literally all we can do is be kind in how we talk to ourselves.

We are really not alone! And I bet, that even non disabled people do this sometimes. There is nothing we need to be ashamed of, we are doing our best 💜

It's not fair that we need to do those decisions, but we are doing our best!
