The tired society

I asked you on Instagram last week what you wanted people to know about being chronically ill as for healthy people it’s something they haven’t experienced and they can’t fully understand it so I wanted to see what sorts of things the community believe more people need to know. Instagram did not disappoint and I had too many replies to fit into one episode so let me know if you want another!

Struggling to manage school with my CFS to be honest but I know I’m not alone in that within this community and I’m hoping to soon find a way to manage it bus as of right now it’s hard. I like to give advice on this podcast but here is something I’ve not yet experienced! Yes I’ve got experience within the education system of managing my CFS but now things have changed with how I did that and I don’t know how I can adapt! Today I’m just chatting about how I found my first week and what I’ve done to manage and what I’m planning to do, maybe some of you can relate or maybe have advice on the topic! If you do please let me know haha.

I have a cold! Not normally a world changing statement for those who are healthy but as someone with a chronic illness it completely just flips my world! I won’t be able to do anything for at least a week all because of a cold, it makes my normal symptoms like 10 times worse plus the cold itself it’s just crazy! And then add the fact I started sixthform this week and everything just go crazy!

I’ve struggled with feeling like my illness is valid lots and just not feeling like I have any right to talk about it when I’m not the worst case scenario but today I’m chatting about how that’s not right and now we are all valid and it doesn’t matter who has it worse as it’s not a competition!

Hi and welcome to the tired society podcast! I believe everything happens for a reason but not completely… sometimes events like me becoming ill happen and while that might not be the meant to be thing it gave me something I had been looking for and that was a way to help people so that’s kinda the meant to be part and that’s kind of what I try and chat about today. It’s a chill relaxed episode today as I was very tired haha. Hope you’re doing alright

High schools rough and having a chronic illness on top of that is even harder! I wanted to try and share how I got through school with CFS and what I advise others to do after my experience. Hope you’re doing alright

Let’s face it your teen years are meant to be all about going out and making all these memories and having adventures with friends but as someone with cfs part of that’s been taken from me so here to share the truth of being ill in your teen years and how it is to manage!

This past few weeks it’s felt like my CFS has been getting worse and staying that way. Today I’m chatting about how ive been managing the fact I might be getting worse when I just want to be healthy again.

It is so frustrating when doctors just can’t give you any answers on your illness, seriously sometimes I just want to cry! With CFS even getting diagnosed is a whole journey as doctors don’t find it easy fo diagnose, chafing today all about the struggles and this turns into more of a rant haha so enjoy!

Hey everyone! Chatting today about how you and I are more than what we’re struggling with, whether that be chronic illness or something else. I wanted to share some of the things that I enjoy that have nothing to do with me living with cfs, this actually really helped me just reminding myself I have things going for me even when my CFS is overwhelming me. Hope you’re doing alright :))
