I was talking to my mom the other day, and she said she was going to start going to the gym, because its important care for your body. I’m disabled w/ multiple chronic illnesses, so going to the gym is impossible for me. She seemed to realize this, and started to backtrack, saying like - its part of taking care of herself, and I interrupted and said, “Its okay mom. You and I taking care of ourselves look very different”. And thats what I would like you to know.
Taking care of yourself looks different.
For some people, taking care of themselves looks like fruit smoothies and gym visits, cutting out sugar and weight training.
For some people, taking care of themselves looks like hospital visits, feeding tubes and ports. Needles and tests.
For some people, taking care of themselves looks like taking medication and lying down in a cool dark room.
For some people, taking care of themselves looks like getting any calories in their body that they can.
For some people, taking care of themselves looks like adding in more vegetables and trying to go outside to get sun more often.
For some people, taking care of themselves looks like seeing a therapist, keeping symptom journals, and practicing mindfulness, meds, or grounding techniques.
We all have different needs. Please don’t feel bad about how you care for yourself just because someone else is able to do “more”, or their care is more performative or obvious. Please don’t look down on someone for caring for themselves in a way that you do not. Medication and rest are just as important as exercise and vegetables.
Keep doing your best to care for yourself, the best way you know how. Your self care and health is important, no matter what it looks like.

95% of Nursing is saying you’re sorry about things that aren’t even Nursing related.
The other 5% is washing your hands
And half of those sorries are because the doctor hasn’t come yet and I don’t know when they will.
There’s this quote that I see a lot, “save one life you’re a hero, save a hundred lives you’re a nurse.” The premise is nice, I suppose, but can we stop as a society assuming that being a nurse means you’re a hero or beyond - only if you’re saving lives?
Sometimes the most heroic thing you can do as a caregiver is to advocate for comfort on end of life. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a patient healing is to leave them be. It isn’t “saving” but it’s sure as heck quality of care - and you won’t ever see that shit on Patient Satisfaction Surveys
But sure, if by saving a life they mean helping someone at the end of theirs, then ok. (Shrug)
