This video is sponsored by Lauren's Hope: Medical ID, which I will be telling you more about at the end

If you are new and very confused about why this video features a girl lying on the floor...

to 不定詞

I'm disabled; I have a thing called Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsy

with Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder which gives me a thing called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

I made a video explaining POTS and I will link to it down below in the description

But, to sum up how I am feeling right now:

I feel incredibly dizzy, and I have no blood in my brain

and my heart is beating at twice the rate that it should

Also I feel like this kind of pressure building behind my eyes that wants to shoot out

- which isn't fun, but I imagine would look quite interesting.

So today I am going to be filming from the floor.

As you can probably tell already, I am a very chirpy and optimistic person.

I don't even know where these things come from.

It's like there's a cheese factory inside my brain.

I can make any situation into a cheery learning moment.

It annoys other people, but I do like to think of it as a gift

Partly, I was just born with an innate optimism.

But, also, some bad things have happened in my life.

I'd be lying if I said that every moment had been wonderful

and I'd been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel

When I first started to have really bad symptoms

and I was spending a lot of time in hospital,

and then I had a medical procedure that went wrong,

It was pretty sad inside my head for a while.

I've also always been one of those really empathetic people

who just soaks up everyone's emotions around me

and feels all of the feelings all of the time.

It's not really great when you're in hospital

and people around you are all panicking about whether you're going to make it or not.

I became iller and iller to the point where I had to spend two years lying in my bed

with no light, no sound, and no touch, because those things brought me incredible pain.

Now you would think that those things would drag me down even further

Instead, I used that time to write many Buffy and Faith fanfictions in my head

and also many queer books that I am now actually putting onto paper.

But mainly I used it to create some very strong mental defenses.

These are the foundations in my brain now

and I ought to share these coping strategies in case one of them can help you.

This is the most important one, so I am putting it first -

Yeah, I know, it can sound really difficult and really hard,

but the bases of self-love is self-compassion.

You have to acknowledge that hard stuff happens and it is totally OK

Know that you deserve the warmth and the love and the kindness

just as you would give to someone else who was in the same position.

You can put this into practice by using affirmations

but, genuinely, sometimes look in the mirror and be like, "Well done!"

"Well done, self, we got through today and you killed it. Good job."

Even if, you know, your day was literally just you got out of bed and then you made it to the toilet

Praise yourself for the things that you have managed to do; not the things that you think you should've done

Also, I used to write myself positive notes

when I thought I had done well, genuinely.

I mean, that is also helped by the fact I have a terrible memory

so I didn't always remember writing the cards.

That gave me extra joy when I opened them.

Forgive yourself for the part in it; forgive your body for not working.

If you're struggling with someone else because you've got into an argument with your friend,

forgive yourself for the part in it and forgive your friend

because holding onto resentment does nothing but bring you harm,

good feelings; bad feelings; whatever your feelings are

- and then you can commit to letting go of those bad feelings.
