Struggling with Identity: Learning to Embrace the Changes that Come with Living with a Chronic Illness -ep15
Listen in for today’s answer from Instagram follower @boymom865 **… “How do you know you have the right diagnosis? There are so many chronic illnesses that overlap.”
Chronic illness may influence us but it doesn’t have to define us. - Sarah Reid
In this episode, we talk about the journey of embracing a new identity while living with chronic illness. Join us as we dig into the challenges, triumphs, and strategies for creating a beautiful sense of self outside of our health conditions.
Helpful takeaways for this episode:
Chronic illness may play a part in our identity, but it doesn’t have to define us entirely. We can still embrace other aspects of ourselves.
Struggling with our identity is a natural part of recognizing the limitations that chronic illnesses place on us. Addressing this struggle is an important step toward growth and self-acceptance
If we’re not careful, health issues can become all-consuming. It’s important to create a safe mental place.
Allowing ourselves to imagine, dream, and focus on what brings us joy are beneficial for creating a new sense of self.
It’s ok if chronic illness has changed our identity. We have the power to grow and bloom into something beautiful - even it looks different than what we originally expected for our lives.
