May 04, 2022 Why we need awareness.
Awareness and representation is something we are majorly lacking in the chronic illness community! I feel like we never get to see ourselves in tv shows and films and other forms of media which SUCKS! Today I wanted to chat a bit about why it’s vital that changes in the future and why I try and do my part to bring awareness :)

April 27, 2022 Feeling guilty for cancelling plans!
I think if you live with chronic fatigue syndrome or another chronic illness I’m very sure you’ve had to cancel on plans before, we all have. And there is always this strong feeling of guilt attached to it, you know you’re doing the right thing for your health but you want to be there and again your illness is holding you back! Today I wanted to chat about that because I know it’s something a lot of us have probably struggled with, myself included. I hope you’re doing okay :)

April 13, 2022 School holidays with a chronic illness!
Hi everyone, hope you're doing okay!
Right now I'm in school holidays but because of my chronic illness which contradictory to popular belief doesn't actually stop when on school holidays it's not as fun as it should be. I have revision to do but my body is exhausted from the last school term which means no revision. Basically there's no win in this situation! I thought maybe someone would relate to the overwhelming situation and would like to know that they're not alone :) I hope this can help and bring some support.

April 06, 2022 Having your illness invalidated
I feel like it's very common for those of us with chronic illnesses and invisible illnesses to be invalidated by those who don't go through things similar to us simply because they don't understand and maybe don't try to. Today I wanted to chat about that incase you can relate. You're not alone and I try to share my experiences with it and how I get through it.
Hope you're doing alright :)

March 30, 2022 Covid with a chronic illness
Have you been worried how covid will affect you with a chronic illness? I definitely have and then two weeks ago I tested positive. It was scary and very hard with my chronic fatigue syndrome but because of that I wanted to share my experience and how I got on and felt during and after. Maybe it'll help you worry less or maybe you will be able to relate to it if you've been through it.
Hope you enjoy and remember I'm back here every Wednesday with a new episode where I chat about anything and everything chronic illness.
See you next week and hope you're doing okay

Lets face it for those of us who go through crashes they can be really frustrating. We want to be able to do so much more by our symptoms come down on us!

February 16, 2022 Anger over illness
I feel like we are justified for our anger when it comes to chronic illness. As someone who has chronic fatigue syndrome and has been ill for years I think I have good reason to be angry. Angry at my illness, my life, the world, the lack of scientific research. Just in general there’s a lot so today I wanted to chat about it because often we’re shut down and told to be grateful it’s not worse when that isn’t the solution
