This one is for those of us who may struggle with body image in general but also after being diagnosed with a chronic/invisible illness. Olga was one of the few people who witnessed some of my symptoms. 

In this episode, I go through my goals and how I have come to terms with managing them compared to last year and well my previous life. If you would like to know more about the About M.E. movement take a look at www.aboutme.group. 

Accepting a condition is one thing but we are often faced with lots of judgement and looking at how we can reinvent outrselves. It's all well and good asking someone to be positive but that will not help that person eradicate their pain.

I have often felt judged by people because i'm not the girl who is travelling around the world solo, nor running a social media business or flying my drone. Sometimes making it out of bed standing withut dropping is an achievement. 

"You look fine though" I don't know what symptoms I will experience everyday, and this can be challenging to explain to people who aren't experiencing the same pain. So who do you turn to and where?

How do you learn to accept a diagnosis when you have grown up healthy and all of a sudden being told something is in your head to being told you have a rare brain condition. If you have had any experience of chronic pain you've probably been told to:

"It's all in your head"

"Just be more positive"

"Get some hobbies" 

I have had FND for over a year, I was told i'd be better within a few weeks. Here's to navigating through an invisible illness. 

This is an introduction to the reasons why About M.E.- A Spoonful of Recovery was created and how we aim to raise awareness about invisible illnesses.

Dropped on my bedroom floor and decided to start using my voice.
