Chronic Chronicles: Health Chat

Wednesdays at 1230PM Pacific/330PM Eastern: It is time to swap being chronically ill for Chronically Awesome! Join the Chronically Awesome Donna Kay and Jules as they teach you how to be less Chronically Ill and more Chronically Awesome. What is Chronically Awesome? Chronically Awesome is a lifestyle choice for the chronically ill. It is a positive way of living life with chronic illness. We can separate ourselves mentally from our chronic illness using artistic expression, mindfulness, and a process of building ourselves up day-by-day growing emotionally strong which makes us physically stronger. Chronic Chronicles is an educational and outreach program of The Chronically Awesome Foundation. www.chronicallyawesome.org *Things to remember: 1. This is not a show about marijuana. 2. In order to participate in the chat you MUST have a user name. Anonymous “Guest 1” type names will not be able to participate due to past severely abusive trolls. Getting a username is quick and easy. 3. Any abuse of hosts, guests, chat room members will be cause for immediate removal from the chat room and report to Talk Shoe Support.

EP154: Be You! No one should tell you to hide being #ChronicallyAwesome! Jan 06, 2016

Show notes

Have you ever had anyone tell you to lie about being chronically ill? "Don't tell our family you are sick", "Just say you have the flu, people should not know you are depressed". According to a recent LA Times OP/ED, and something we agree with, "The pressure to report that you're OK when others check in with you is so strong â?? who has time for a real conversation today, especially one about something so unpleasant? â?? that many chronically and invisibly ill people fail to find the support they need." Today we discuss the ramifications of not being you, and the benefits of being you in the face of illness.
