Disabled Me by Eilidh

I’m Eilidh (pronounced like the letter A + Lee). I have Hypermobile type Ehlers Danlos Syndrome; Orthastatic Intolerance; migraines; depression; and a few other issues I’m exploring with my doctors.

I’m 29 – but will be turning 30 in July.

I find that having a disability can be really frustrating and upsetting; I just want to have a “normal” life like so many other people my age do, but due to my disability that’s impossible. I’m doing my best but that often doesn’t feel like enough.

I’m hoping that sharing a bit of who I am might make me feel a bit better about my journey.

And, in the interest of bribing everyone, here’s a picture of my cat:

Also for some reason the app has downloaded in Korean 😅 I mean it’s fine it’s just funny.
