By far, the biggest and most upsetting issue for those of us living with chronic illness is not being believed.

From Doctors, family, friends and even total strangers on the internet, there are so many people full of scepticism, unsolicited advice and downright disbelief.

But how do you deal with the questions and comments like:

• It's all in your head.
• Why are you still so sick?
• There must be some Doctor who can fix you.
• You just need to think more positive.
• But you look so well.
• You need to stop letting the illness define you.

In this episode I take a deep dive into the basis of other peoples disbelief, how to deal with the comments and judgements and more importantly, what you can do to empower yourself.

The emotional and psychological impacts of becoming chronically ill so often go unrecognised, misunderstood belittled or simply ignored.

Which means that when it happens to you, you have no idea if the grief, fear, overwhelm and exhaustion that you feel are normal or that maybe, it is all in your head after all.

A big part of my work is to normalise and validate the often complex emotions that come with becoming chronically ill because people need to understand that all of the emotions are real, appropriate and completely understandable.

In this episode, I share perhaps the most challenging emotional issue of living with chronic illness that leads so many of us feeling hopeless, powerless and completely overwhelmed.

And more importantly, I give you some practical solutions for what you can do when you feel this way because you deserve to feel understood, supported and believed.
