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“I was in the same place eighteen months ago. The worst part was explaining an invisible illness to my manager. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.”
pagetea80 · been through chronic illness“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.”
