PTSD Awareness Day 💚

Millions live with PTSD—including me.
I’ve had Medical PTSD for decades, but I stayed quiet about it… until COVID. When I had to face traumatic hospitalizations alone—no parents, no support—I couldn’t keep it buried anymore.

That’s when the chronic illness community started opening up, and for the first time, it felt okay to talk about it.

Medical PTSD is real. It lives in the body—in every beeping alarm, every rushed IV, every time I’m admitted and my nervous system goes into high alert. It doesn’t just go away, and honestly, the last few years have been some of the hardest for me emotionally when I’m inpatient.

I don’t talk about it all the time, but I am talking about it today—because silence doesn’t help anyone heal.

To those who get it: I see you. You’re not weak. You’re surviving. 💚

Time for new prescription glasses—and I decided to go with @WarbyParker! I love how quick and easy their process is. One of the best features is the virtual try-on through the WP app. It scans your face shape and recommends styles that are actually flattering. From there, you pick 5 frames for a free home try-on.

My try-on kit arrived super fast with clear instructions. You get 5 days to try out the frames and pick your favorite. Then you just send them back using the prepaid return label included in the box.

Once you decide, you upload your prescription in the app, add your chosen frames to your cart, and check out. Then it’s just a short wait for your new glasses to arrive!

They also have store locations across the U.S. where you can get eye exams, try on more frames, get free adjustments, and even order contacts.

Now the big question—which style should I get? Esme (first pair) or Maeve (second pair)?
