Aubrey candidly discusses her college experience with chronic illness and the uncertainties it brings to future plans. We also delve into the crucial topic of mental health and how Aubrey manages anxiety and depression. Dating and friendships as a young adult with an invisible illness are explored, shedding light on disclosure, relationship dynamics, and finding supportive partners.
