Remember: if you're struggling with mental ill health or mental illness to reach out to loved ones and support services.

Through my work at headspace I had the incredible opportunity to speak about mental health on Triple J. Here's the recorded segment so you can listen to it too!

My friend and I discuss Australia's disabled support and foster care systems. While also looking at C-PTSD, autism and dyslexia. It's a wild ride so buckle up and join us 😆

Also keep in mind this is one person's experience and opinions

Last year (Easter/Ramadan) Iman (@alilbitoffaith) and I had mad chats around advocacy, the importance of representation, the job of being chronically ill, the exhaustion of microaggressions and a whole bunch if things that aren't often talked about.

Michelle (@mybodyliberation on instagram) and I chat about the diagnosis experience, namely trying to get one. Michelle lives with endometriosis which statistically takes 6-10 years to diagnose! For a lot of us this time is stressful, confusing, invalidating and isolating so let's talk about it!

Myths, misconceptions and microaggressions. What are they and what's wrong with them? Join myself and @CasualAbleism (in Instagram) to find out!

Reacting to your fibromyalgia experiences and boy there are some real good ones. Over on my instagram I asked you to finish the sentence 'You know you have fibromyalgia when...' To gain personal insight into what its like living with fibromyalgia.

I joined the amazing @lupielife 's podcast on the stero app, if you missed it this is a recording of our conversation. We talk about my experience with chronic illness and highlight the similarities of our experiences. You can find her on the stero app @lupielife and on instagram @livingthelupielifebychilly

CFS affects so many, so Im back with Amy and Jessica to discuss our experiences with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

CFS? What's that? Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or ME is a debilertating illness that causes immense fatigue along with a lot of other symptoms and diverse experiences. Which is why Ive enlisted the help so some friends to share their experiences with CFS/ME. All answering the same questions Iman, Anna and Paola detail the impact CFS/ME has on them. (Pssst! There will be a part two;) //Chronic illness can be hard: Australian suicide hotline 13 11 14
