Listen in for today’s answer to a question from instagram follower @kathryn182006: “How did the drs help you manage your pain?”

“Sometimes it’s just awkward guys!” ~ Sarah Reid

In this episode, I’m diving into why it can feel so awkward to explain chronic illness to others—especially when we look fine on the outside but live with real limitations.

I share my own struggles, like feeling the need to justify my health, not being able to go to college or work a “normal” job, and the discomfort of being met with pity.

I also include responses from others in the chronic illness community about why they find it awkward to talk about their health. You’re not alone in this. 💛

I’d love to hear from you! Connect with me on Instagram @be_potsitive  or  Facebook @Be POTSitive.

Check out the earrings I’ve been making when my body cooperates: Be POTSitive Creations on Facebook.  And don’t forget -  there’s chronic illness merch on my Redbubble page where you’ll find lots of cute items to make you smile and raise awareness for our community.
