What are the gifts of chronic illness? What a strange and amazing question that might be to some. What’s more amazing is how many answers I have to that question!

There have been so many, and I don’t think I’m alone in feeling this way. The crazy-beauty of tremendous hardship is that as life deals us difficult blows, it simultaneously hands us these radical blessings.

Yes, I must avail myself to them and be willing to clear the debris from my heart in order to see them, but there they are — shining like jewels, mine for the taking.

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.

How To Avoid Getting Distracted While Driving And Why It’s Important
Distracted driving has become a serious concern in recent years. It’s estimated that 10% of all fatal accidents are caused by distracted drivers. If you have ever been on the phone while trying to drive, then you know how difficult it can be not to get distracted and lose focus on the road ahead of you. That’s why it is important for everyone who drives (or rides in cars) to make sure they understand what is involved with being a safe driver and avoid distractions when behind the wheel or in their seats instead of riding shotgun. This article will cover some tips to keep yourself from getting distracted behind the wheel.

The Importance of Connecting With Others Who Live With Chronic Illness
Not knowing what is happening to your body. Not being able to do what used to come easy. Missing social events, missing work, seemingly disappearing. At the onset of my chronic illness, isolation became part of my life. I didn’t know why I felt awful all the time. It took all my effort just to get to class and do my work while in the second half of college. I went from sorority president to barely making it to chapter events. Slowly the things that allowed me to connect with others became unattainable.

18 Photos That Show What a Chronic Pain Flare Looks Like
If you live with chronic pain, you may experience flares that greatly impact your ability to get work done or do activities that you enjoy. While chronic pain flares are awful on their own, it can also be difficult to have others understand what you are doing through because people cannot always “see” chronic pain.

8 Things That Lie Beneath the Surface of Life With Chronic, Invisible Illness
There are plenty of things I want to tell people about me but don’t get the chance to say. Things I want people to know if they’d only look past the surface to what can’t be seen. The chronic pain, the chronic illness and the difficulties in the day to day that have changed my life forever. Here are just a few of those things that many of us with chronic, invisible conditions may be feeling. 1. Not all is what it seems. From the outside, you’d say I’m a healthy, happy young woman who looks “fine.” Look beyond what your eyes tell you and you’ll find chronic illness and chronic pain that have taken a toll on my life over the years.

Reconciling My Dreams and the Reality of a Chronic Illness
The older I get, the more I am convinced that life becomes hard because of memory. On the days when I feel low, it is because I compare myself to who I once was. The reality of a chronic illness is that you will observe your body change from day to day. Depending on how many spoons you have, you may be in a flare-up for weeks at a time. In our society, we are forced to put pressure on ourselves. In many ways, merits and daily achievements are applauded. If you spend days in bed because you are sick, some people may think you are lazy.

My Mental Illness Is Not a Fashion Statement
Over the past 20 years, the discussion around mental health has become more socially acceptable, which is an absolutely wonderful, glorious thing. Rather than people hiding their pain behind “I’m fine,” many people are seeking the help they actually need. As someone who has lived with an anxiety disorder for most of my life, I am grateful to live in such an age where I can seek therapy, take my meds and work towards healing without being shamed. Yet, I can’t help but wonder: has the matter of mental health swung too far to the other end of the pendulum in our search for de-stigmatization?

Coping With Serious Mental Illness During Challenging Times
The outbreak of coronavirus has rocked my world, causing stress or worry beyond what I might normally experience with my severe mental health diagnosis. With my mental illness, I already practice some degree of self-isolation. For me, a hidden benefit of the social distancing we are now required to practice is I don’t have to change my routine drastically because of this new normal for everyone else. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2004 and currently live with schizoaffective disorder. As a way of coping with my day-to-day symptoms, I have worked hard to establish a daily routine that gives me purpose.

I’ve done extensive research on psychology, so why have I waited 31 years to get help if I’ve dealt with these issues all my life?

5 Ways to Practice Yoga, When Chronic Illness Means You Can’t Downward Dog
I was a yoga teacher who could no longer practice yoga. Going upside-down would increase the pressure in my head, concerns about hyper-mobility reduced my ability to stretch and, to top it all off, I was told to cut down my activity for while because of concerns that I might have an exercise intolerance. It felt like I was being pranked — this could not be possible!  Not only was I being asked to give up my favorite hobby, I was losing one of my main coping mechanisms.

You Can Have Mental Illness and Still Be an Amazing Mom
I’ve wanted to be a mom since I was a kid. I can’t explain it, I’ve just always loved babies and kids, and I have always wanted to raise a whole bunch of them. So when my mental health started going south, I got really nervous. I started researching obsessively, looking for positive stories about moms with mental illness who could successfully manage their illness and take care of their kids at the same time.

Why My Best Friends Are Online Friends in Life With Chronic Illness
I have never met some of my closest friends face-to-face. When you have a chronic illness, it’s often hard to meet new friends. In my case, it is due to self-isolation and because it is much easier to find other people I can relate to and have a lot in common with online than in person.

8 Tips for Managing Chronic Pain During the Coronavirus Pandemic
I live with fibromyalgia and arthritis, as well as bipolar disorder, and I know from personal experience how hard it can be to manage your chronic pain during times of stress. Our mind and body are connected, meaning that our emotions can have a significant impact on our physical symptoms. Unfortunately, stress can worsen chronic pain and cause flares in symptoms.

How Isolation Can Actually Be a Healthy Coping Mechanism for Mental Illness
As someone with schizoaffective disorder, I find myself isolating more than the average neurotypical person. I notice it, and my friends and family notice it. For me, isolation is a critical part of being able to function on a day-to-day basis, yet there are so many people (doctors, therapists, advocates, etc.) who find isolation dangerous and unhealthy. Let me acknowledge I agree with them — sometimes. Sometimes it is dangerous and unhealthy, but sometimes it is what I need to get by without a public episode.

The Power of Carefully Selected Coping Mechanisms in Life With Mental Illness
Carefully selected coping mechanisms can often be the only thing that helps you get through the day when you’re living with mental illness. The methods used vary widely, from person to person and from disorder to disorder, but the intent is the same. An effective coping mechanism should keep you elevated above, but maybe not out of, the quagmire of emotions or thoughts that threaten to pull you down. They give you a reason to smile, a distraction from the pain or just a way to put one foot in front of another.
