Invisibleillness Stories

There is the world everyone else lives in, and then there is the sickle world. ​It's a place where a change in the weather isn't just an inconvenience-it's a physical threat. Where plans are always written in pencil because your own blood cells can decide to stage a coup at any given moment. ​The Sickle World is a collection of raw, conversational prose and poetry written from the trenches of chronic illness. It's not an idealized story of "triumphing over adversity," nor is it a clinical breakdown of a medical condition. Instead, it's a blunt, middle-of-the-night look at the reality of living in a body that hurts. It captures the heavy silence of the hospital room, the frustration of being misunderstood by a healthy world, the exhausting mental math of pacing your own energy, and the quiet, stubborn resilience it takes to keep breathing through a crisis. ​This is for anyone who knows what it's like to mourn the versions of themselves they had to leave behind. It's for the chronically ill who are tired of being told to "stay positive," and for the people who love them who want to finally understand what it really feels like inside the storm. ​No filters. No toxic positivity. Just the beautiful, painful, absolute truth of a life lived one heartbeat at a time.

Life of a schizo The mind, a shifting landscape of thoughts both profound and perplexing, carries me through a world that never settles. Moments of clarity flicker like crossing stars, only to be swallowed by the clouds of uncertainty. I stand at the edge of reality and illusion, where whispers weave themselves into the fabric of my consciousness, echoing truths I struggle to decipher. But there is beauty in the chaos. There is meaning in the shifting sands. To exist in this space is to navigate a reality unlike any other-to be both lost and found in the same breath. God bless Xian i love uuuu

Silent Chaos is where my pain finds its voice. A quiet sanctuary of poetry and prose shaped by chronic illness, survival, and the storm beneath the surface. Sometimes, all I have are words - bleeding quietly from wounds no one can see. Welcome to my journey - I'm still writing the ending with every breath I take.

a collection of poems written by a sick girl through a never-ending journey.

My name is Cole. I'm an addict, or at least I was one labeled as one. I am now grateful to say I am a recovering addict. I have a rare brain disease called Chiari Malformation, which is incurable but manageable. After years of pretending to accept my diagnosis, I am proud to say I not only accept it but am grateful for it. Being ill has changed my perspective on life and the importance of it. I wanted to share these things because they may make up a part of me, even though I'm not defined by them. I also will not be only speaking on those topics. I plan on letting it all out from fear, anger, and resentment to acceptance, self love, and allowing anything, hell everything to happen and find the beauty... Even when it looks as if there is none. I made this blog because I want to talk about life on life's terms; acceptance, pain, and rising above when life pushes you. I plan on talking about a variety of issues that I moved past and currently overcame. This blog will be REAL, RAW, AND, UNFILTERED. All I write will be my truth. Cold and hard yet necessary. Welcome to COLESHARDTRUTH.

I have had quite the ride these last three months. My symptoms were attacking me like crazy. It seemed as soon as I figured out a plan on how to go about fighting one, another symptom would come out of nowhere not just adding more stress to my body but also giving the other symptoms more to go on. July I was nothing but a sweat box. There was nothing I could do without literally needing to change my soaked clothes. It didn't matter if I was outside or in my air-conditioned house. All of the above caused me constant flare which caused my Anxiety to heighten to new all time highs. My Anxiety caused my depression to heighten leading to severe fatigue. Nothing I did could help me out of all of this. I would have moments of hope, where I would feel good and have energy. I had hopes that I had finally pulled out of all this, but then as fast as I felt better is as fast as I went back into this flare. I am trying my hardest to get out of this funk and feel a bit more like my normal self, but the fight is exhausting and sometimes needs a bit more energy then I can give.

She's a girl with an invisible illness. Life is rough. Throw in a stalker with a secret, dysfunctional family, and high school. it's a ticking bomb. I hope you enjoy it but that being said don't kill me for late updates. Torture I'm okay with but murder is illegal ppl.

She was fourteen when it arrived - silent, invisible, and merciless. In the sweltering heat of a Jacksonville summer, she was just a girl walking in her worn-out Converse shoes to the playground. Laughing with friends. Dreaming about eighth grade. But within days, her body began to betray her. Fevers, weight loss, rashes, and weakness-signs of an unseen war beginning inside her. Uninvited is the raw, intimate memoir of a young woman whose life was upended by an illness that came without warning and never left. More than a story of diagnosis, it's a portrait of survival-through pain and confusion, through hospitals and unanswered questions, through the quiet moments no one sees. From adolescence to adulthood, this journey traces not just the fight against a chronic illness, but the many battles life throws outside of it: identity, relationships, grief, endurance, and learning to live with something that was never supposed to be part of the plan. Told with unflinching honesty and quiet strength, Uninvited is a testament to what it means to lose control-and slowly, defiantly, reclaim your life.

My battle with living life while battling multiple sclerosis, anxiety and depression. A life changing moment is one when you get a diagnosis of a illness without any cure. It makes you mad,sad, confused and really lost in a world where you no nothing and must make lufe altering decisions on the turn of a dime.

Sometimes it feels like I'm black and white, and everyone else is in color. Other times it feels like I'm in color and everyone else is in black and white, and everyone is watching my every move, judging me, and trying to decide if I'm just asking for attention. The truth is, I would do just about anything that I could to get that attention to go away. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and being the only kid in my class with chronic pain is not easy. I have to fight to do everything that most people can do easily and no one realizes it. Instead, when I can't do something, people assume I'm exaggerating and I could do it if I just tried. So I want to share my story for anybody who is going through what I am.

I'm 33, but I don't always feel like it - mentally, I sit somewhere between 19 and 25. This blog is my way of exploring that in-between space while juggling ADHD, chronic conditions, relationships, and figuring out who I am. Think of me as your friend or older sister, sharing thoughts that are sometimes messy, sometimes thoughtful, but always real. I'm not a lifelong writer - I'm just someone learning out loud and inviting others to join me. Living Between Ages is meant to be a relatable, open space where we can all feel less alone in our experiences.
