There are not many products that I would recommend to nearly anyone with a chronic illness. This planner is one of them. Here’s a YouTube video that reviews it. It’s not perfect for everyone, but wow I think this company understands what it’s like for people with chronic illnesses.

There will be a lot of posts soon with people sharing how much they have achieved in 2023. In case anyone needs to hear this... It's okay if the only thing you did this year was get through it.

Did you know that heated mattress pads are a thing? I have had one for years now and it’s SO therapeutic for me. The one I have is dual zoned so I don’t roast my husband. I got it from Amazon. No, I can’t feel the wires, and it has 10 heat settings, and an auto shut off feature after 10 hours. Oh, and it is machine wash and dry. Just thought I would mention this in case someone asks you what you want for Christmas and you draw a blank. 😉

The relapse and overdose rate has increased by 30% since March 2020. Mental health issues related to our lock down and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. NAMI, The National Alliance on Mental Health has a 24-hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
I encourage friends to share this so others who are struggling can hopefully find the resources they need to get through this trying time; but better yet, reach out to friends and loved ones to check on them! Let’s start the hard conversations and help break the stigma.
