Any writers with chronic illnesses, specifically energy-limiting ones, know of an accessible way to go to a writing retreat/join an in-person writing group or class? Or am I dreaming? I'm in the UK.

@achronicvoice.com"I #mourn her.
I miss her.
I #love her.
But I cannot go back to her.
Perhaps in time she will stop walking ahead of me, just out of reach.
Perhaps she will walk beside me..No longer a phantom, but a #companion" (She is Me): buff.ly/G1zylTP

@smartpatient.bsky.socialThe worst part about chronic illness isn't always the pain. It's the uncertainty. Not knowing if tomorrow will be a good day or a bad day. Learning to plan around that is a skill nobody teaches you.
@smartpatient.bsky.socialSome days the hardest part is explaining to people why you look fine but feel terrible. You're not making it up. Your symptoms are real, your fatigue is real, and you deserve support.

@myseveralworlds.comMetaphors are keys for opening the doors to understanding, for illustrating concepts that the average person is able to relate to. Despite living w #ChronicIllness for 20+ years, I realise that there is still so much I don’t know about.

@auntyho.bsky.socialA week in one: hexagons, a crochet hat, and mostly being a social creature. Lunches, birthday dinner, club night. Fibromyalgia flared, joy was louder. Baba Shelly snoozed beside me. The art was the living. 🪐🧶🐈 #crochet #chronicillness #cat #dailyvlog #art
@knighthawk899.bsky.socialThis one goes out to my #Chronicillness and #chronicpain peeps.
Seems like this time of year my mind wants to find things I could have done better during the year and things I could have done differently.
But the thing is you either win or you learn. It's ok to not have it all together. 🙏🏻💙🧘

@apainprincess.bsky.social“Living with #ChronicPain is a journey of ups and downs. Just when you feel you've found a rhythm, a surge of intense and overwhelming pain can crash over you… Flares can be particularly challenging… intensifying your usual pain levels.” https://buff.ly/GRWSq34 #ChronicIllness #Disability
@smartpatient.bsky.socialCelebrating small victories today: got out of bed, took my meds on time, and managed a short walk. On a rough week, that's a win.
