Chronic Illness Support: That Chronic Thing

Solo, Sick, and Swiping: The Realities of Online Dating

• Cathy Beederman • Season 1 • Episode 26

Hey my jelly bellies! It’s a dating 🚨episode! 

Single. Wheelchair. Sick. it’s just a different ball game. 
 
I want my profile to be honest, as I don’t want to do a bait and switch. I can’t hike, parasail—  I can’t even go on the sand at the beach without assistance. And I’m getting zero matches on some of the apps and it’s deeeepressing. 

In this episode, I tell you all about my profiles (Hinge and Bumble!) so we can evaluate together. 

I share some tear-filled, vulnerable moments— all things considered when you’re sick and your partner may not be. Or you’re disabled and your partner is able bodied. Or any combination. It’s a lot to think about.

Let’s review this tough, heart-filled subject together!
