Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

As per request: today is a lazy bird Sunday!
As in: I’m too lazy to make a meme, so here are pics of my birds! 😆❤️🦜
(Biki and Sherman D. Parrot both pictured)

I wish you guys could post pics in the comments of your pets too..
Get on that, Youtube! Lol

That’s all I can muster the strength for for today..

Keep on surviving, my wonderful friends!

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

I swear the week is playing tricks on me again 😭

I missed Sunday’s meme… and now I just realized it’s already Wednesday?!
Where the heck did Monday and Tuesday go??

My brain fog has me convinced I’ve already done stuff I only planned to do.. And the fact I’ve been sleeping a ton..

Time is just… gone..

I made this one at the last minute because.. Well- apparently that’s how we roll around here! 😂

👉 Drop a 💜 or 🕒 below if your brain fog has been stealing days from you too.

Love you guys, keep on surviving!— Rachel Wynne 🫶

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

I swear I’m not forgetting on purpose!! 😅
My brain keeps tricking me into thinking it’s functioning, then casually forgets the most basic stuff like what day it is 😂

Anywhoo… I hope you’ve all been as okay as possible. I’ve mostly been sleeping and marathon rewatching Stargate SG-1 when I’m awake (anyone else rewatching old comfort shows right now? 🙋‍♀️).

Love you guys, thanks for sticking around even when my brain fog makes me a flaky mess ❤️

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

Sorry I missed Sunday’s meme 😔
Brain fog got me bad and the last few days just… disappeared.😅

I made this meme at the last minute today, and it’s darkly funny because it’s so true. The “This is my baseline” punch-line hits different when realize that even your good days would look like an emergency to healthy people 😂

👉Comment below: What’s something that feels like a “good day” for you but would scare the hell out of a normal person?
👉Or just drop a 💜 if this is painfully relatable.

And if this made you laugh (or hit too close), please share my memes on your socials? 🥺
It helps spread awareness about what living with ME/CFS is really like… And it helps me too..

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

Comment below if this one hit you right in the chest 😔

I made this meme and honestly… It hit me hard how it’s so messed up how true this is..

REAL TALK:
Since my surgery some things have gotten a bit better, but other stuff has gotten worse. It always seems to even out somehow. But now everyone keeps telling me “you look so good!” or “you don’t even look sick!”..
Like… Thanks.. I guess?

I know that they think they are giving me a compliment.. But it also really just pisses me off..!

I’m NOT healthy! I’m still utterly struggling every single day! …But I’ve just gotten really good at surviving and masking it, to the point that I am not even really trying to do it— I’m just trying to enjoy my very rare social time with them…!

To them it sounds like a compliment. A good thing.. To me it feels like they can’t see what I’m going through at all! And it scares me that comments like that could mess with my disability stuff if the wrong person hears it.. 😰

If it wasn’t for you guys, my SOTF survivor family, I would feel completely alone in this.
Thank you for getting it. ❤️

Love you guys,— Rachel Wynne 🫶

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

Comment below how many tries did it take for your brain to wake up enough to understand what this meme said? 😂
I made this meme, and it still makes my brain dizzy!

I am so glad I was able to get this meme out today! I swear it is getting harder and harder to keep track of what day it is.. They are just a blur of pain, exhaustion, and confusion mixed with a sprinkle of responsibilities.

Pacing to avoid PEM is doable, but SO DANG TRICKY when your brain and energy just says NOPE! 😅 But- Worth the struggle. 🤷‍♀️🙂

👉Comment a 💜 below to say “I have those days too”.

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

Yeah.. Doctor appointments are already so draining when you have ME/CFS that you frankly just start expecting trauma to follow..😰
You roll up exhausted, knowing you’re probably gonna have to defend yourself and your symptoms, repeat the same stuff as every other time, and yet you still might not be taken seriously- AGAIN.. Ugg! 🙄

So why not come at it with a sassy, “LET’S GET THIS TRAUMA STARTED?!” To wake up the medical staff? 😂 It’s so worth it just to see the looks on their faces!

It’s that dark humor that only makes sense if you’ve lived it. But sometimes laughing at how ridiculous it all is is the only thing that keeps you from losing it completely. 🤷‍♀️

👉Anyone else feel like they need a nap just thinking about their next appointment? Tell me your most “are you serious right now” doctor moment below if you feel like it. I’m reading them all ❤️
👉If you’re too wiped out today just drop a 🛌 or 😂

Love you guys, keep on surviving! 💪💜— Rachel Wynne 🫶

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

It’s okay to admit it feels disappointing and hard just getting through the tough days with ME/CFS..
You’re not failing just because the week doesn’t magically get easier, like it used to be when you were healthy.. Sometimes it can be healthy to complain.

👉 Q: How are you feeling this Wednesday? What helps you get through the slump when everything still feels heavy?
👉Share if you have the energy, or just drop a 😩 or 🛌 to say you’re in it too. ⬇️

I’m still exhausted but healing. Thank you for being here❤️😘

Please share these memes on your social media if they resonate — it helps more people feel seen!

Keep on surviving, my tired warriors.
Wednesday doesn’t have to be wonderful. Just making it through is enough. 💪💜

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

Okay- I changes the last meme slightly because so many of you hadn’t seen The Princess Bride, and so didn’t understand the reference..
But, easy fix! I just changed the meme to my favorite show instead — Star Trek!❤️😆

Now it features the transporter, because if I could have any fictional item, I would 1000% choose that!

Just beam me up, Scotty!Take me out of this exhausted, broken body for a little while! 😂

There was a few episodes that explained how the transporters had something called “bio filters” that basically could tell if you had a virus or foreign thing in your body, and end would edit it out of you during transport.

And I dont feel guilty at all for having fun with my imagination, dreaming up fun ways my chronic illness could be cured!
Because right now I feel only slightly alive, and some days even that feels like a stretch..! 😅

And I REFUSE to feel ashamed for wishing I could escape this illness, even if just for a moment. Wanting relief doesn’t make me ungrateful. It makes me human.😊

👉 Q: have you thought more about this too? If you could have any fictional item, technology, or superpower to help with your ME/CFS, what would you choose and why? Share your wishes below if you have the energy. ⬇️
👉👉 Too tired to type? Drop a 🖖 or 💜 to say you’d love to be beamed up too!

Keep on surviving, my chronic illness warriors. You are doing better than you know just by still being here. I am, and forever will be your friend. 💪💜🖖

Survival of the Fatigued

Hey Survivors!

ME/CFS can make you feel only slightly alive most days.. The exhaustion runs so deep that even just getting through the hours alive feels like a miracle!

When everything hurts and your body barely cooperates even timo breathe, it’s easy to wish for some kind of magical solution that would make it all easier to swallow..
The longing for relief is real, and so is the grief of living in a body that feels this depleted.😰

👉 Q: If you could have any fictional item or magical help for your chronic illness, what would you choose and why? Share your wishes below if you have the energy. ⬇️
👉👉 Too tired to type? Drop a 💊 or 😴 to say you feel only slightly alive too.

So yeah… 😅 Did I totally almost forget today was Wednesday and I hadn’t made a meme yet? Maybe! 😂
I’m just still utterly exhausted, but healing and doing my best to respond to comments, and keep up with the Wednesday/Sunday memes.
Thank you for being here with me anyways!❤️

Please share these memes on your social media if they resonate. It helps more people feel seen.

Keep on surviving, my slightly-alive warriors. You are doing better than you know just by still being here. 💪💜
