A Younger Me, and a Suicide Ideating Boyfriend

Denise ElysaAbout Denise Elysa, Creative Writing Leave a Comment

Trigger warning: mention of suicidal ideation, mental health intervention and reckless driving. When I was 15 years old, my boyfriend at the time shared with me that sometimes he would drive too fast, running red lights, etc., just to see what would happen.

Denise ElysaAbout Denise Elysa, Chronic Illness & Healing, Creative Writing, ME/CFS Leave a Comment

A natural result of committing to this inner work is it tends to expand one’s capacity for duality. To hold multiple things at once. To allow two seemingly opposing things to be true, simultaneously. I am sitting here this evening both devastatingly defeated and overwhelmingly grateful. I am watching as my partner modifies our home yet again to meet our …

Yesterday we took our youngest to the Aquarium…and I left my wheelchair in the car. Most of healing does not happen overnight, nor in big, sudden, social-media worthy shifts. Have I experienced what most people view as “miracles”? The sudden ability to walk for example, after a period of being unable to walk unassisted? (In my case due to severe …

My Body Hasn’t Always Felt Like Home

Denise ElysaAbout Denise Elysa, Chronic Illness & Healing, Creative Writing, Lived Experience Leave a Comment

I live in a body that for much of my life has not felt like home. These days I often don’t recognize it. I’d be lying if I said I never wince at its sight. It doesn’t look like the body that I worked so hard for, so many years ago. The clothing that used to feel most comfortable, no …
