Living with chronic illness has taken away many things from you, things that once gave you a sense of joy or meaning.
Managing your symptoms
feels like a full-time job. Pain and fatigue often dictate how you spend your days.
Your dreams often feel out of reach.
At times,
you may feel like you are not “good enough"; as a friend, a partner, or a parent. You often feel
sad, resentful, anxious.
But you are also
hopeful that there is another way, that there is more to life than coping with your symptoms.
