Chiiiiillleee...
You ever get so caught up in life that HIV doesn't even have a space in your thoughts?
That's kinda where I am right now. I have so many moving parts in my life. I'm prioritizing time with God, time with my husband, time with my kids...
Then I have to remember to eat my protein but not too many carbs, drink enough water but not too much caffeine, balance cardio and strength training, put the clothes in the dryer before they mildew, and return phone calls and text messages.
Again I say—HIV who??
Because I haven't even mentioned remembering to take my meds, making time to schedule appointments with my primary doc, my GYN, my podiatrist, my dermatologist, my cardiologist—and whoever else my 40-something-year-old body requires.
And is that pre-menopause peeking through my blinds?
Chiiiillle please...
Anyway, let me go figure out what self-care even means for today... before these kids get out of school.
Have you ever gone a whole week before you even remember you're managing a whole diagnosis?
Let's work on giving ourselves grace. This is a lot.
