I talk a lot about training with a body whose symptoms are dynamic. But there is a part that has nothing to do with the training plan, and it is the part almost no one builds for: the loneliness of it.
The days you feel invisible in your own body, the flare that hits when everyone else is asleep. The quiet worry that you are too much, or not sick enough, or just plain hard to understand.
So when I found out about the Chronic Illness Hotline, I said yes without hesitation. This hotline is filling a HUGE gap when it comes to support for our community.
It is a free, 24/7, text-based support line for people living with chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, injury, and neurodivergence. It is staffed by trained Compassion Counselors who have lived it themselves, and you are never required to share your name or your diagnosis. You reach out, and someone who truly understands reaches back.
It does not exist yet, BUT it is being built right now by people who know exactly why we need this. And I get to be one of the voices helping bring it into the world! Tbh, a dream come true🫶🏻
This week I just want you to know it is coming. Follow so you do not miss it. Next, I will show you how you can help make it real.
