I sat there in his office, waiting. I was suddenly nervous and had to take a few deep, calming breaths and a sip of water. You see, I have been determined to be right where I am for months and have pushed for a successful referral to confirm what I and my primary care physician suspect: I have fibromyalgia. “Well, unfortunately, I know exactly what you have,” the doctor says as I flinch and pull away from where his fingers are pressing on my tender points throughout my body: my arms, my shoulders, my neck, my poor legs.

The pain, it takes my breath away. I know what he’s going to say next and I had prepared myself. “You have fibromyalgia syndrome.

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.

The Infinite Benefits of Including Students With Disabilities
I was in my daughter’s middle school for a meeting with some of her teachers. As I was walking down a hallway with a few of them they stated, “Look, there is Yassy! She is cycling away. We hear she loves to go in that room and ride the bike for the whole gym class. She is in great shape.”  I looked in the room and there weren’t many other kids in there. It was new, with a glass wall, so I saw her and took this photo. It is blurry because I was trying to be quick, so as not to distract her.

How to Train Your Brain to Be More Creative
“The old model was that the left brain was for analytical and sequential thinking and the right brain was for more holistic thinking. Then there was a move toward a front brain–back brain division, with the front brain being the gatekeeper and controlling the input from the back brain.

I Was Turned Away From Every Eating Disorder Treatment Center Because of My Chronic Illness
This time last year, I was able to confidently say that I was fully recovered from my eating disorder (ED). I felt like I was finally actually living life and confident with who I was. I had finally felt recovered and was so proud of what all I had achieved and done. I was working towards some big goals and for the first time in my life, I actually had hope for my future and could actually see myself getting there.

6 Tips That Help Me Manage My Chronic Skin Condition
As a published author, I thought my third book might center around living with PLC (or pityriasis lichenoides chronica) — a diagnosis I received in my teens and have lived with ever since. The chronica implies that I will have spotted skin (seasonally reddish or white) as long as I am alive. As I began researching again, the 1 in every 2,000 people per year affected was a bit intimidating. If I do write this book, who is going to read it?

When Chronic Illness Impacts Your Career
It is hard to believe that it has been 24 years since I was diagnosed with scleroderma. I probably don’t even remember clearly what my life was like prior to my diagnosis. What I do remember is I had long term goals planned out that I pushed myself to try to accomplish to the very end. I always had the mindset that working hard and building on my savings account would eventually allow me to travel around the world, as well as become a homeowner. Despite my diagnosis and the challenges that came as my illness progressed, I hung on to my dreams until the very last moment I could. Disappointingly, I neither have traveled around the world nor am I a homeowner.

I'm Used to My Struggles With Chronic Illness by Now
I sit at my kitchen table, a half-eaten sandwich on my plate, staring at the pills in my hand I need to take tonight. I tell myself I should be used to this by now. I have been on these meds for years, and sick for even longer. I do not want to take them, but I know that, for now, they are keeping the diseases at bay. So, I pick up my glass, and take them again, and tell myself I should be used to this by now.

What Chronic Pain Has Taught Me About Communicating With My Husband
I have felt quite lucky recently as I have watched many friends – mostly women – complain online about their spouses – mostly men! These partners never do the dishes, or failed to do them when they said they would. They are oblivious to the kids. These women are doing as much paid work, or more, yet deal with the domestic drudgery to a much great extent, something that our current COVID-related lockdown has only exacerbated and highlighted.

What 2020, the Political Divide and COVID-19 Taught Me As a Trauma Survivor
This past year has been truly difficult for me. Election years in America seem nearly intolerable, with hate and division sewn on both sides that have often left me feeling hopeless and “small.” Many times I feel as though people are talking over one another, belittling others and even engaging in bullying behavior. Admittedly I have, at times, engaged in these fruitless pursuits. But, many more times than not, I end up deleting my post or comments entirely, especially if it gains traction. It just doesn’t seem to be worth the energy to argue as I often wind up feeling defeated and even downright depressed.

When Trauma Doesn't Give You Thick Skin
We’ve all heard the saying “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” While it can be affirming for many, it also tends to establish a false narrative of what trauma survival looks like. There’s a societal belief that traumatic experiences make people cold, thick-skinned and hardened. However, in my personal experience and from talking with countless other people, trauma most often can leave us feeling vulnerable, sensitive and more afraid.

How I Fight Loneliness That Can Come With Mental Illness
I haven’t always had to fight loneliness and isolation. When I was younger I loved going out to listen to live music. Dancing was a fun way for me to interact with others. I enjoyed being social and was always looking for a place to meet friends at a bar or show. All of that has changed since my diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Fighting loneliness has become part of my new normal. Isolating myself because of my mental illness can easily lead to loneliness and depression in my life now.
