Historias de Invisibleillness

A while ago, I had a math assignment. For most people, it would've taken about 10 minutes. But I have ADHD. Most people consider ADHD to just mean "fidgety and hyper." It's not. I know so many people who are struggling so hard, and society just ignores us because it's inconvenient to try and figure us out. I did end up getting my assignment done. It took at least an hour of crying, a bit of self-harm, and I accidentally wrote a short story about neurodivergency, overworking, and masking differences and suffering in the process. This is that story. And yeah, this is Wattpad. You're probably here for romance or fanfiction. This is neither. But I figured, why not publish it? So here it is. Enjoy.

It's for everyone. Both those that have already tried recovery and those who are still fighting. I'm here to support. All of you, all of us. Because we all matter. I'm not a professional. Not a psychologist, psychiatrist. Just an ed survivor, writing from lived experience. Skip if you find these triggering - I completely understand. I believe that we all deserve support, and much better than the world that portrays serious diseases as "success stories" or "becoming healthier, prettier." We can do better. In short, this is a series about eating disorders and everything related to them: relapses, beginnings, the process, healing, society's influence, and recovery. I write about things that affect me as a person who has, and still is struggling with this little trap in her mind that says to give up. And that's why I'm creating this. We need something else besides the constant skinny obsession, don't we? Even if you decide not to read any of the chapters - I get it. If you don't agree with my point of view that I share in this project, that's alright. I'm not trying to convince anyone to my mind. I'm trying to let people with invisible, underrated struggles be heard, seen. And you're valid. You're enough. There're more of us. We are no longer silent. We're here for ourselves - that's already a big step toward healing. I'm not going to tell you that recovery is the same for everyone. I'm not going to tell you that people won't comment on your appearance. I'm not going to tell you that you'll always love yourself after recovery. But I am going to, at least try, to convince you that being alive is worth more than looking a certain way. You think feeling your bones is hot? You know what's more? BEING ALIVE. Healing is a process. And it's hard. But as long as you are alive, you always have a chance. I'm not one of the perfectly recovered ones. I see this trap. I've lived in it. I still do. But I'm not afraid of speaking about it - until someone finally hears me.

June 2021 was supposed to be normal. A regular shift. A regular day. A regular breath. But in one moment - one strange, unexplainable rush of air as she took a breath - everything she thought she knew about her body, her future, and her life was about to change. What starts as "too much breath" turns into ER visits, unanswered questions, different tests, new fears, and a diagnosis that rewrites her whole identity: Myasthenia Gravis. This is the true story of a girl who looked fine on the outside, while her body was fighting a silent battle on the inside. A story about survival, grief, faith, and learning to live a life she never expected. This is her journey. This is her breath. This is the life she had to build... after everything fell apart.

This is a short description that puts you in my shoes and shows you how scoliosis (in my case a congenital disease, an S shape 52° major curve in the top of my spine and a 24° compensatory curve in my lower spine) affects me on a day to day basis. This piece of text was originally my way of expressing how I feel by aiming it at my bullies in school, who make fun of me for this condition and many more things endlessly. TRIGGER WARNING - although there are no graphic details in this text, this text may be very emotional to some people, as it was for me when I was writing it. Also there is one use of the F word. Thankyou so much for reading and feel free to leave feedback and comments! Raise awareness for scoliosis, especially if you'd never heard of it before reading this piece of text! Please excuse me if this is not extremely well written, I am only 15 and this was just a quick little thing I wrote at around 2am on a tuesday morning. I was tired and distressed, this writing is based on my thoughts at the time of publishing and the thoughts and experiences I have come across most days of my life so far. :)

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
