Often in the chronic illness world we talk about what we “CAN NOT” do. When living in a body that feels broken and leading an especially challenging life, there is no denying that the list of “CAN NOT” do’s can begin to add up.

Living with chronic illness can make you feel isolated and alone-- like you are on a deserted island far away from all civilization. Chronic illness forces you to stay in dark rooms, or hiding away for days or weeks on end away from family, friends and the everyday normal things in life that make you feel alive. Over time this level of isolation begins to slowly chip away at your soul. Before I found this community, I was a shell of the person I had once been. My chronic illness had bled into all aspects of my life leaving me to feel alone, depressed and in a constant state of anxiety. I spent weeks and days in a dark room—completely isolated from my husband, son and family. As someone who is incredibly extroverted, this state of isolation led me down a dark path of depression. Then I happened upon THIS community! This community has shown me that living with a chronic illness may feel isolating, BUT you are NEVER alone. If you are sitting there today feeling like you are on an island, I am here to extend my hand and let you know that on this journey you will always have me and the other supporters of the community to lean in to. As always my DM’s are ALWAYS open for a chat!

I SHOULD be doing something MORE.

I’ve been super quite on here—not because I don’t love this community (because i do- IMMENSELY)! Life has just become incredibly complicated. Working, while being a mom, and managing a house and a chronic illness has absolutely overtaken any spare time I’ve had for myself. When I haven’t been fulfilling duties, I’ve been going to bed and resting so I can trudge thru the next day.

O V E R W H E L M E D.

Living with a chronic illness is HARD, y’all! REALLY DAMN HARD. Some days it feels like I have made ZERO progress in my journey. BUT, when I take a step back and examine my chronic journey from a bird eyes view. I CAN see that I HAVE made GREAT strides forward.
