Chronic illness impacts many aspects of one’s everyday life…and that includes dating! Considering that I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 11 and celiac disease at age 17, chronic illness has always been part of my dating history.

And if I’ve learned one lesson so far, it’s that chronic illness adds a variety of challenges and blessings to the dating game… and today, I want to share 19 things you’ve almost definitely thought if you’re dating with a chronic illness!

If you have a chronic illness and are currently dating, I hope this post makes you feel a little less alone or even helps you laugh at some of the “quirks” chronic illness may add to your dating life.

I Wish I Would Have Known More About Miscarriage Before Having One
The moment I realized I was pregnant, I tried to dial my emotions down. I used the term “cautiously optimistic” because I wanted to make sure that I was not overly attached to my pregnancy in case I would become one in four people who miscarry. I only told a handful of friends and always made sure to include the sentence “We are excited, but I’m only telling people who could support me through a miscarriage right now.” Even knowing the statistics, and my increased likelihood because of my ongoing battle with PCOS and hypothyroidism, I was still excited.

Why I Have to Keep My Chronic Illness a Secret to Keep My Career
Before my identity was intrinsically intertwined with my (sometimes visible) invisible illness, I identified first and foremost as a performer and singer. I started at a very young age and it became my dream to perform as my career. Long story short, my dream is in the process of coming true after working hard for many years through university and postgraduate study.

Fighting for Validation When Doctors Don't Take Your Chronic Illness Seriously
When you are first diagnosed with something like anxiety and depression or fibromyalgia and neuropathy, or the first time those conditions are thrown around at a doctor’s appointment, it can feel like a huge relief. You finally have an explanation; you finally have someone listening to you and taking your pain seriously, it’s huge.  Many of us spend months, years even fighting to be taken seriously, begging for our doctors to hear us, to stop what they are doing and pay attention to us.

Stop Making Chronic Illness a Competition
Out of everything we have to experience under the broad umbrella of chronic illness, I think many would agree getting the diagnosis itself can be the most difficult challenge. The constant appointments, having to explain what you’re experiencing, even though some symptoms are hard to put into words, experiencing a lack of faith in the medical system when it becomes a trial-and-error for a doctor to understand you and what you’re going through. It’s a collaborative effort and often is timely and frustrating, to say the least. Many of us spend time alone questioning if what we’re going through is “real” and whether or not it is something we can just “suck up” and live with, without having to continue to run around with doubt.

How Stress Management Plays a Role in My Chronic Illness

It started on my shoulders and spread onto my chest, neck, trunk, forearms and legs, with varying degrees of severity and itching/burning sensation.

What Volunteering As a COVID-19 Vaccination Nurse Has Taught Me
I have been volunteering as a nurse at our local COVID-19 vaccination clinic. After giving a few hundred injections, something struck me. Adults are, like, super afraid of needles. No one really likes seeing something stabby entering their skin; no one really watches themselves getting vaccinated. What’s really staggering to me, though, is the number of people — again, fully grown adults — who not only say that they don’t like shots (who does?), but then, after telling me how nervous they are, and how much they’re looking forward to “getting it over with,” then feel the need to apologize for being “such a baby.”

Please Stop Scapegoating Those Living With a Mental Illness
With all the online bickering and arguing as of late, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. It’s become so commonplace, I see something nearly every day that truly rubs me the wrong way. It is the “scapegoating” of those living with a mental illness in social media. And it is not something that is only being done by “one side” of the political divide, it is actually rampant on both sides.

The Beautiful Things My Depression Says About Me
I care so much about other people and the world — so much so that I am deeply affected by news about others’ suffering, the destruction of our natural environments and even historical tragedies. If I didn’t grieve for all of these things at my very core, I might not be as depressed, but I also would not have such strong feelings about the things that matter to me. I don’t think I would trade this depth of feeling for a cure.

This Isn’t What I Thought Recovery From C-PTSD Looked Like
One day last year I shaved my head. People around me panicked, so I told them I did it because my hair was so damaged from decades of hair dye. The truth was, I didn’t fully understand why I did it. I shaved my head because I was constantly recalling having my hair pulled. Over the years, I had had my hair pulled by my parents, teachers, nurses, police and security, mostly as a way to force me to make eye contact, which as an autistic, I hated. These memories were plaguing me 24/7, even though it had been nearly 15 years since it last happened. I couldn’t shake the memories and this left me in tears for hours at a time. So I shaved my head. Problem solved. No one could pull my hair again.

With either chronic mental health issues like depression or chronic physical health issues, like lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis, you have Good Days and Bad Days, because the conditions flare up, and on a good day, some things are easier, and on a bad day, some things are harder, as the conditions wax and wane.

What Paranoid Schizophrenia Has Taught Me About Patience and Kindness
Being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, you are endlessly suspicious of everyone and everything. Dog on the street? It’s going to bite me. Woman on the street? I bet she’s going to harass me. Man in a hoodie? He’s up to something. Man in a suit? Also up to something. I don’t like it. The suspicions never end. Living like this can make you quite cynical. Worse yet, it can make you hostile and even aggressive toward others. This is why it is so critical to practice kindness and patience. As a side note, I also employ a low-carbohydrate diet to help reduce my psychotic symptoms, including paranoia.
