From people who came through it
“To whoever needs this: This time last year I was exactly where you are. The worst part: a diagnosis after seven years of being told it was stress. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.”
Jess from Melbourne · been through chronic illness“To whoever needs this: I was where you are eighteen months ago. A blood test every month, every single day. My kids say I'm back.”
DeShawn Ba · been through chronic illness“Hey. I know it feels like no one believes you. I’ve been there. Keep pushing for answers. It took me years to get diagnosed with POTS. Write down your symptoms, take someone with you to appointments. And it’s okay if all you do today is feed yourself and your dog. That counts. You’re not lazy. You’re sick. I still struggle, but I’ve found a few things that help. Don’t give up.”
Coastal Puffin · been through chronic illness“Reading this late at night? I've been there. In 2023, that was me. The worst part was the specialist six hours away. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. x”
