I've been battling the complexities of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME-CFS) and Epstein-Barr Virus, conditions that have significantly impacted my life. I'm committed to shedding light on these misunderstood illnesses and sharing my personal experiences and struggles. From the long journey to diagnosis to the battles fought on a daily basis, I'll be unveiling the realities of living with these conditions. This isn't just a recounting of my journey; it's a plea for understanding and respect.

In this week's episode,  I recount my battle with undiagnosed PMDD and Myalgic encephalomyelitis and my transformative stay at the adolescent crisis unit at Fairview Riverside Hospital. It was there that I learned that it's okay to ask for help, be vulnerable and that seeking support doesn't depict weakness.

Part Two starts in the early 2020s, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the tragic murder of George Floyd, pivotal moments that stirred our community to unite and sparked an influx of volunteers eager to make a difference. As we adapted swiftly to the new normal, implementing virtual events and launching an ambassador program, we were also met with unique challenges. I'll delve into the nuances of volunteer burnout, the difficulties of maintaining long-term engagement, and the delicate dance of keeping the organization afloat amidst dwindling participation.
