Welcome to Chronic Illness Support Lounge
Choosing Gentle Growth, Even on Hard Days
Living with a chronic illness while working a full-time job isnโ€™t something many people talk openly about. But itโ€™s my everyday reality. Most mornings I log on at 8.30am, show up as a Customer Service Lead, support my team, solve problems, and give my best, even when my body doesnโ€™t always cooperate. Behind the scenes, Iโ€™m managing Crohnโ€™s, fatigue, flare-ups, hospital appointments, and unpredictable energy levels, while also choosing not to give up on the dreams that live in my heart. In the evenings, Iโ€™m building a business that lights me up. Not because Iโ€™m trying to hustle myself into burnout, but because I believe we can create a life that feels meaningful, flexible, and aligned with who we are, even with chronic illness. Some days look productive, some days look slow, and both are valid. Iโ€™m learning that I donโ€™t have to have everything figured out. I donโ€™t have to be โ€œonโ€ all the time. I donโ€™t have to choose between stability and dreams. Iโ€™m allowed to want more, gently. If youโ€™re quietly juggling work, health, and a dream on the side, I see you. Youโ€™re doing better than you think ๐Ÿค
Choosing Gentle Growth, Even on Hard Days
Letโ€™s Talk About Chronic Illness
Chronic illness isnโ€™t just โ€œnot feeling well.โ€ It changes everything. For many of us, chronic illness shows up quietly and then suddenly itโ€™s shaping our entire world and things like our Energy, Confidence, Friendships but even more so it effects our Identity. Crohnโ€™s, diverticulitis, autoimmune conditions, they donโ€™t just affect the body. They impact the heart, mind, and day-to-day life in ways most people never see. If you live with chronic illness, I want you to know this space is for you. A place where you donโ€™t have to pretend. A place where your experience is valid. A place where you are not โ€œtoo much.โ€ ๐Ÿ‘‰ If you feel comfortable, introduce yourself below. Whatโ€™s one thing chronic illness has taught you?
Letโ€™s Talk About Chronic Illness
Living With Chronic Illness: Itโ€™s More Than โ€œFeeling Unwellโ€
Chronic illness isnโ€™t just one symptom, itโ€™s a full-body, full-life experience. For many of us, it looks like: - Waking up exhausted even after a full nightโ€™s sleep - Planning every outing around bathrooms, rest spots, or flare triggers - Canceling plans at the last minute and feeling guilty about it - Smiling on the outside while your body is screaming on the inside - Being told, โ€œBut you donโ€™t look sickโ€ What people donโ€™t always see are the invisible battles: the emotional toll, the uncertainty, the grief for the โ€œold youโ€ and the strength it takes just to keep going. You are not โ€œlazy.โ€ You are not โ€œdramatic.โ€ You are managing more than most people could imagine. Whatโ€™s one thing you wish people understood about chronic illness?
