When you live with chronic illness, you can feel so very alone which makes getting support more important than ever.
What's often shocking though is discovering just how little support is actually out there!
There is so little knowledge about chronic illness in our communities, families, medical and social support systems that you can end up feel judged, blamed, isolated and left to fend for yourself.
You can feel guilty for what your illness is doing to others, worry about letting others down and feel so overwhelmed and anxious because you don't know how to get doctors to help you.
Also as a formerly independent, capable and competent person, you can feel very vulnerable when it comes to asking for help in case the help you need will not be given.
If you want to know how to maximize your chances of getting the support you need, from online groups, doctors, family and friends, then this podcast is for you!
Make sure you share this one with everyone you know who lives with chronic illness because we so deserve to be supported.
