To whoever finds their way here, hello! And thank you for stopping by. After starting my gaming blog, Mocha Plays Things, and my lifestyle blog Mocha Writes, I felt called to create a third space, one dedicated entirely to healing, awareness, and the realities of living with disability and chronic illness.
This blog is meant to be more than an outlet. It’s a place for me to grow, recover, reflect, and learn… and hopefully a place where others walking similar paths can feel understood and supported. I live with several chronic conditions and psychiatric disorders, including C-PTSD, ADHD-PI, Persistent Depressive Disorder, Somatic Symptom Disorder, PCOS, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
Here, I’ll be sharing health updates, symptom tracking, personal essays, awareness posts, advocacy, and anything else that helps me make sense of the world I’m navigating. There won’t be a strict schedule, just honest writing when I have the space and strength.
If you’re someone dealing with disability, chronic illness, or mental health struggles, I hope you’ll find comfort here. And if you simply want to learn, listen, or support, you’re welcome too.
— Mocha
