From people who came through it
“For anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. POTS and fainting in the queue at the shop. That was my life. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. Keep going, even slowly.”
chess_train43 · been through chronic illness“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“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“For whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Lupus flares that come with no warning, every single day. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back.”
