Catch Up December 2022 …
I am still not over covid. So I have decided to do a self care month and will try to document it.
…
* Don’t forget whenever you see MiA … it means I have been unable to journal anything on that day due to serious illness or just because I was unable to do anything, except keep my head above water, on that particular day.
What’s New …
I am so poorly I cannot function.
Self Care action …
…
What’s Important …
I am taking December as a month of self care …
I have also realised that when I caught covid in 2020 my health declined considerably and it’s since then I haven’t got dressed. After this recent covid infection I have gotten even sicker.

fragmented_ME
My birth name is Denise, but I’m know as Bella to those who love me. I have a first class honours degree in education & psychology and a strong passion to keep learning and educating others ... I have severe ME/CFS and lots of other chronic illnesses and I started this blog as an expansion to my instagram page, where I advocate for chronic illness. I am married and have two grown up boys, or should I say young men. I have three gorgeous grandchildren, one boy and two girls. And despite being chronically sick and housebound I am mostly happy. 🥰
