Hey..."I'm Sick"...Chronically: Telling A Loved One

Have you found it challenging to explain your life with a chronic illness to a friend or loved one? Do you often feel unheard or seek validation that your invisible illness is even real?

Yeah, I get it. Much like receiving a diagnosis, it can be overwhelming to explain your chronic illness in a nutshell! I wanted my friends and family to understand how I was feeling, and for them to believe me when I told them I was sick. It wan't so simple.

I tried to use talk therapy exercises, handed out printed resources from the Internet, and even downplayed my symptoms to avoid arguments. I was lying about my struggles to please others, and to make them more comfortable when hearing about my invisible illness! None of this helped me, and in the end I was left without a support system. I was alone...

It became my goal to find a way to share my experiences and emotions in an honest way with those I loved. I wanted them to understand that my autoimmune disorder had changed my entire life. I needed a way to ask for their help. Organizing this conversation was the most difficult part.

This book is an outline of specific battles we all fight when living with a chronic illness. The idea is to share this book with the people you want on your side while you face some of the most frustrating parts of your health and wellness journey. With the additional worksheet provided, you have all you need to finally have the sit down conversation and be heard by those that matter the most.

Managing a chronic illness has its own difficulties. Having the support from those we love should not be one of them! Use this book as a tool to find your voice, and make your needs heard. Remember that you are the person who lives with your condition on a daily basis, and you have a right to express your honest feelings.
