New episode of LOL with Racquel (Lupus Out Loud) is up, and this one’s from the heart.
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. But more than that? I’m exhausted from mourning who I used to be.
In this episode, I’m getting real about the trap of pining for the “old me”—and sharing how I’m learning to move forward without pretending everything is fine. Because the truth is, this version of me deserves better than my constant disappointment.
If you’ve been stuck waiting for your pre-diagnosis self to come back, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about building a good life WITH chronic illness, not just waiting for life after it. #lupusincolor #lolwithracquel #lupusoutloud
