  • We need a little bit of happiness
    It's okay to have a low time and it shouldn't be something to be ashamed to admit especially because often not having to hide it can help. I've been struggling a bit recently so today I wanted to share some of the small things in life which bring me some happiness and I hope you can do the same! 
    You're doing amazing and I'm so proud of you for managing and taking everything one day at a time. 
    See you next week for another episode

  • The thing about it being invisible
    There’s so many problems with having an invisible illness but one I find so infuriating is when people make assumptions about things they don’t know anything about. This comes from people who know me but not very well, doctors, random people who I’ve never spoken to before and more. Today I chat about them and my experiences in hopes to give you something to relate to and know you’re not alone with this because it is so unfair!

  • Crashing after an exam! CFS takes a lot

    As someone with a chronic illness I am definitely NOT made for exams or generally the education system. 

    I had a 3 hour one on Monday and have a 5 hour one on Wednesday and then another on Friday and more next week. Raise of hands from people who don't think I'll manage haha (I am raising my hand).

    It's exhausting and definitely an unfair system for all of us who will struggle and be at a disadvantage because of things we can't control.

    Today I just chat about how I'm feeling after an exam, maybe some of you will relate. And I chat about how I think it's unfair how the system in designed.

    Hope you enjoy and are having a good week :)

    Feeling overwhelmed and out of control is normal so let's talk about its and share!

    Today I spoke about what's been going on for me recently with going back to school and how my CFS has been and some of the things that come with chronic illness which shouldn't been thought of as gross or judged negativity in society.

  • 2021 recap!

    The end of a year can be hard on those of us who's year is full of illness and hurt because of that illness but I want to remind you of how strong and powerful you are. Yes chronic illness is a daily battle which feels often like you're losing and it takes a lot from it but I want to remind you that you've made it all the way through this year. You have survived everyday and I am so proud of you because I know there were many days which it didn't feel possible.

    Today I share a few things I am proud of from this year as well as some hopes I have for next year of what I want to prioritise.
    I hope you're doing as well as you can be, I am proud of you. You work harder than so many people just to be at the same level as healthy people and for that you reserve to be recognised for your strength.
    Happy New Year, I'll speak to you next in 2022.

    You're amazing and strong and powerful, let no one tell you otherwise. 

    - Millie :)

  • Holiday season with a chronic illness!
    Let’s face even though the holiday season is meant to be one of the happiest times of year for those of us who live with a chronic illness it can be exhausting and often a reminder of our past self before we were ill which is hard. Today I wanted to chat about why it’s hard since it is Christmas this week and also share some of the things I’ve been doing this year to get me festive while not being physically able to manage lots. Hope you’re doing alright and having a good holiday season, you’re doing amazing and I’m super proud of you!

  • What crashing with CFS is like
    If you’ve got CFS you know what it’s like when you crash and you know hard it can be with feeling defeated and powerless but we’re not alone! This week I’m in a crash after doing too much and I wanted to chat about that it’s like and what we feel because it is valid and worth talking about. Hope you’re doing alright :)
