      "title": "12 WAY TO HELP ANYONE LIVING WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS",
      "body": "Asking for help takes courage, especially when living with a chronic  illness. When my whole family found ourselves struggling during the last 3 years, I researched extensively, joined online forums contacted other people who were living through it. It is during this journey that I discovered how important it is to have a support system supports us in a loving and caring way. This journey made me know what is important and what is not.\n\nBe positive and avoid being critical.\n\nYes, we are struggling and are already dealing with a lot of negativity from our situation. We need energy that is positive and uplifting without being annoyingly happy. Help us find the humour in our situation. Laughter can be the best medicine. Just be cautious about how far you take it. Notice facial expressions or body language to see if you have gone too far. If uncertain, just ask. Any humour no matter how dark do not go being critical. Darkness is part of us and we are part darkness.\n\nKeep your eyes and ears open.\n\nIf you see someone who has been going through a lot, reach out to them. Remember if someone is really struggling, they are in survival mode and can only focus on what is in front of them. Being able to see the bigger picture and ask for help isn’t easy. They are often living minute to minute, hour to hour, and day to day just to keep moving forward. Plans beyond today evening are just wishful thinking\n\nLend a helping hand.\n\nPeople who are struggling don’t necessarily have the energy or mental capacity to figure out what they need or to even ask. Reach out to find out how you can help. Some basic needs that can relieve some of the pressure include helping with laundry, washing dishes, cleaning up around the house, bringing/cooking a healthy meal, grocery shopping and offering to go out whether dundaiing, a picnic, zip lining, to the park, swimming……\n\n Be mindful about inviting people to parties.\n\nFor those of us who are struggling and having difficulty addressing life’s basic needs, a party can feel overwhelming and even more isolating. Yes, we want to feel normal and not left out of things. However, it can be exhausting, especially for introverts to socialize in a group setting. Our energy is focused on surviving basic daily tasks such as work, chores, cooking meals and resting. Parties can feel like an unnecessary luxury without any kind of help and support to meet basic needs. Food and drinks at the parties may isolate even more.. people with chronic illness will not just eat or drink just anything. \n\nIf someone has been ill, make sure to reach out to the partner or caregiver that is helping.\n\nThe extra responsibility this person is taking on can be just as overwhelming if not more for the caregiver. They may need a safe place to vent as they don’t want to burden their partner who is ill or struggling\n\n Organize a group of people to help.\n\nWe all have lots of responsibilities, and it may seem like yet another to help someone in need. The great thing is you don’t always have to do it all alone. Find out what the individual needs and create a list to send out to family and friends. You can create a list of specific items, activities and resources and individuals sign up for what they can do. If there is a financial need, people may use platforms such as GoFundMe and other crowdfunding resources.\nApart from all the responsibilities burdened on each and every one imagine your yearly spend is not even enough for meds and tests for a person living with chronic illness. A good example is me: I claim to be really expensive seeing my monthly drug expenditure is just a little under half a million EVERY MONTH. That is on drugs not hospital stay, not doctors’ visits……\n\nAvoid placing unnecessary responsibilities on the person\n\nFor the caregiving types, we love to help and it can be a very good distraction, but the focus needs to be on relieving some of the stress. It is already difficult to only receive, and it’s easy for us to feel guilty about not being able to help. Even the simplest tasks can take people over the edge. When we feel completely empty and drained, now is not the time to be asking for help. And avoid decision-making tasks that can easily put someone into overwhelm mode as they already have a lot of decisions they are having to make during this time. \n\nIf you are still uncertain of what to do\nask to stop by and visit\n\nYou can often discover what someone needs just by seeing their home environment and talking with them. Just call or message ahead to determine the best time to visit. When someone is overwhelmed, they may not be able to think clearly and know how or what to ask for.\n\n When you don’t have much time to give or live far away, you can still help.\n\nThere are a variety of companies that will make, deliver or ship meals. There are also a variety of online meal delivery options. You can buy gift cards online or hire someone to come and help with specific tasks such as general house maintenance, construction, cleaning, running errands and more.\n\nEncourage exercise.\n\nOne of the first things to go during stressful periods is exercise. Yet it is one of the most critical things we can do for our physical, mental and emotional well-being. Offer to go on a walk or take them to a class such as Kizumba dance, yoga or even meditation. Nature walks have been my life line. When I need the emotional release, I have a safe place to cry. When I need inspiring, positive and uplifting energy, I walk away feeling stronger and empowered to move forward during these tough times.\n\n\n\n If there are children involved, offer to watch their kids for a couple hours or even overnight.\n\nAsk to take the kids somewhere fun to get away from the extra stress within the household. The kids also need to play and their opportunities may be limited when the family’s focus is on survival.\nI am not very well versed with this as I do not have kids but am sure what I said makes sense (however I am open to hearing your story…yes you with a kid or kids fighting chronic illness)\n\nHealing is a journey and we can’t do it alone. We need support no matter who we are and what the situation may be. Being honest about our struggles with our friends and family is the first step towards healing and receiving the support we need. I am so grateful to my/our friends who stepped up to help us move forward and see the light within the darkness.",

      "title": "Maintaining a healthy relationship while living with chronic  illness",
      "body": "Let’s be honest, you and I both know that living with a chronic illness while trying to maintain healthy relationships is a challenge. Sometimes super challenging. You may feel misunderstood, you may not feel worthy enough to be loved, you may think he/she deserves better, that this isn’t fair on them… I honestly get it. I have been there and got the t-shirt.\n\n1. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate\n\nCommunication is everything in a relationship in normal circumstances, let alone when you are battling a chronic illness when it becomes even more essential. Sometimes when you’re struggling, you overthink situations, predict what your partner may be thinking and hold in how you are feeling. If you really want to maintain a healthy relationship it is so important to talk. Put down your phones and talk, eat your dinner at the table rather than watching TV and talk, and climb into bed and take some time just to check in and talk. I cannot stress how important it is to keep regular, open and honest conversation with your loved one.\n\n2. Focus on Team Work\n\nWhen struggling with an illness it is common to have good days and bad days. This is totally normal, but it’s what you choose to do on those good days that makes all the difference. Remember, you are a team and when you are low, your partner can support you and when your partner is having a bad day, you can support them. Maybe you could do the laundry, make lunch or pop to the grocery store when you feel this is possible, and then on the bad days, you can allow your partner to take the load and return the favour. Just remember you are a team, so work together as one.  \n\n3. Learn Your Partner’s Love Language\n\nWe all communicate, appreciate and show love in different ways so understanding your partner’s love language allows you to connect to your partner on a much deeper level. Gary Chapman, the author of “The Five Love Languages,” best describes this process of learning how your partner wishes to experience and express love. \n\n4. View the Problem Through Your Partner’s Lens\n\nWhen struggling with the overwhelm of chronic illness it is so easy to get consumed with your own thoughts. Hands up, I literally do it all the time. However, it’s good to check in with yourself now and again and ask yourself, “what does this situation/problem look like through my partner’s lens?” What has my partner got on their plate right now? Maybe because things are busy at work that’s why he/she has had less time to talk and to support me? Using a fresh pair of eyes helps you gain perspective on problems or issues you may be facing.\n\n5. Become the Instigator\n\nOK, we all know the line “Not tonight, I have a headache.” No genuinely, that’s no lie! When you are in pain that’s the last thing you feel like doing, so when you aren’t in pain you have to make the most of the opportunity that you have. As a result, I suggest that even if you may want your partner to instigate your intimate time together, I recommend you take the lead. I’m sure your partner will appreciate it.\n\n6. Up Your Small Gestures\n\nWe always think love has to be shown by grand gestures but that’s not always the case. The small gestures you can do for your partner even when you may be feeling unwell can mean so much more. Examples of this include writing them a note to tell them how much you love and appreciate them and slip it in their briefcase for them to find at work or noting all the things you love about them and sharing it with them. A little gesture can go a long way. \n\n7.Gratitude is a must\n\nI used to think I am so lucky that I had this amazing relationship but it sucks that I am not able to enjoy it because I am unwell. I have such love around me but none of that matters because I am sick. My god, I was so wrong. Even if things aren’t the way you want them to be or hoped they would be, you can still find joy and gratitude in your relationship amidst the pain. Just imagine how hard this struggle could be without your partner’s support. Take some time out to be grateful for your partner, your relationship and find joy in the little things you can do together, even if that just means snuggling up and watching a movie together. Gratitude is a must.",

      "body": "Being chronically ill comes with a lot of negative bullshit. Regardless of what you’re sick with – you reap awful side effects and symptoms of whatever you’re diagnosed with.\n\nAside from everything you deal with on a daily basis, there’s a symptom of chronic illness that no one really seems to talk about – guilt.\n\nI’ve been struggling with this for a while now – the deep-set guilt that comes along with being a sick person.\n\nGuilt ends up creeping in most every week for me.\n\nGuilt from missing work.\n\nGuilt for cancelling my plans.\n\nGuilt for falling asleep at 7 p.m. on a Friday night when I should be hanging out with my girlfriend.\n\nGuilt for cancelling my vacation to visit my people.\n\nGuilt over the concerts I’ve skipped, the plans I’ve ruined, the events I never showed up to.\n\nThe worst guilt of all? Pretending to present myself as someone other than a sick person.\n\nMost of the time I feel like I need to wear a sign around my neck that says, “Unreliable Sick Person – Befriend At Your Own Risk.”\n\nI worry constantly that the people in my life are going to regret getting close to me, once they realize that I’m unreliable. It’s terrifying to commit to anything. I don’t get excited about plans, I don’t look forward to events, I don’t make it to work every day.\n\nI feel guilty for letting my girlfriend get so close to me – only for my health to keep declining and for me to be more of an inconvenience.\n\nBut, here’s the thing – no one that cares about me makes me feel bad at all. They don’t make me feel guilty, worthless or unreliable.\n\nI merely feel this way on my own accord. I put myself through this. I make myself feel bad for them.\n\nSooner or later, I’ll realize that I don’t have to do this to myself. I aim to combat this as much as possible. How? I surround myself with people who love and care about me. I surround myself with people who are patient and understanding and gentle to me. I surround myself with people who don’t care that I’m sick, who want to be around me regardless, who know that sometimes I just can’t do things, and they’re OK with that.\nThat’s the thing about being a sick person – you need a support system. You need people who do their best to understand and empathize with you. You need people who do what they can to make you feel safe, comfortable and valid.\n\nI fear that one day the ones I love will have had enough.\n\nI fear they’ll decide that loving me comes at too high a price.\n\nI fear for what my future looks like.\n\nBut for now, I do what I can to enjoy my good days, push through my bad days and tell the people I love how much I appreciate them.",

      "title": "8 (Wrong) Things People Often Say About My Chronic Illness – and the Truth",
      "body": "Not exactly new ground to tread I grant you, but here are a few common misconceptions on life with chronic illness I’d like to clear up if I may. (Side note: this is based solely on my own experience.)\n\nWe’ll look here at some of the more common phrases, unfounded expectations and downright ridiculousness we with chronic illness encounter on an often daily basis. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it is frequently exhausting.\n\n1. “You can’t be in pain all the time.”\nFirstly, never underestimate what I can or can’t do in living with chronic illness. My tolerance for pain, discomfort and general life-upheaval is as high as Willie Nelson, and over time I often find myself able to compartmentalize pain. I slot it into my daily life because I have no choice but to. Of course, there are days where my pain is much worse than others, and sometimes I may need to take time off work, or visit the emergency room, or weep into my cat’s fur; none of that can be helped. Pain comes in waves and often, despite my vast experience, I just can’t stay on the surfboard. There’s no shame in that either; but the misconception that pain can’t be a constant is simply not true. Even on my so-called “good days” I may still experience discomfort, anxiety and pain: of some sort. It’s only unbelievable for those who don’t have to live with it.\n\n2. “You look fine, so you must be feeling fine.”\nThis is one of my absolute favorites. If anyone who said this had a glimpse into what effort it took to make myself look halfway decent and less like a swamp monster they wouldn’t be so bold as to say it in the first place. It’s no exaggeration to say that showering is a challenge, drying my hair is exhausting, painting my face seems fruitless as I’m always convinced my pain is written all over it. It’s true that when I do force my sorry carcass into dressing up and looking good I feel more positive about myself; but it doesn’t eliminate my symptoms – it’s just a skilled mask. It’s performance art, and I’ve become a master at it. Never judge a book by its cover, or a patient by their costume.\n\n3. “You haven’t tried x, y or z – and if you did you’d be better.”\nPlease believe me when I tell you that if I thought for even the most minute of moments that something would cure me, I’d be all over that. As a professional patient, I listen intently to my doctor’s advice, I follow it as best I can, and I try to live as healthy a life outside the clinic doors as I can. OK, maybe not all the time, I’m not a Grade A sickly student – but those of us who want to feel better generally try everything we can to get there. Of course, I’m not suggesting that offering advice is wrong; it’s not and it often comes solely from a place of care and concern. But the effect it has on those of us with a chronic illness can be significant as it often makes me feel I am seen to be not “trying hard enough” to get well, not doing as I’m told, or I’m not knowledgeable enough about my own condition – all of which generally couldn’t be further from the truth.\n\n4.  “You’re just being lazy.”\nThis one is flat out infuriating. Chronic illness is debilitating, exhausting and often all-consuming. The idea that I am just not doing as much as I can at home or at work is incredibly upsetting. The amount of effort it often takes just to pull myself out of bed each day can be enormous, every step towards getting a chore completed or finishing a task I take as silent small victories; to have them minimized or decimated as a lack of effort is an incredible self-esteem setback.\n\n5. “You couldn’t be doing x, y or z if you were that unwell…”\nAgain, an assumption based solely on what a “conventional” idea of illness and/or disability looks like. The current dictionary definition of “disability” is as follows: “a physical or mental condition that limits a person’s movements, senses, or activities.” Any condition that “limits” us can fall under this banner. Invisible or not. Because I’m not in a wheelchair, carrying a white stick or wearing a government-issued “I am disabled. Please treat me like a normal human being.” badge, doesn’t mean my disability is any less valid, or any less “real.” To assume what I can and can’t do is unfair and baseless. You’re limiting me before I have even begun. I am capable of a myriad of seemingly impossible tasks despite my illness; that’s just another aspect of what makes me wonderful.\n\n6. “It’s all in your head…”\nI don’t know about you, but my head is far too full of Jon Hamm and cats to make room for inventing an illness. If I have any spare energy I’ll be using it to clean my house or walk my dog, not make up imaginary symptoms. Pain is never just “in the head” because it demands to be felt; it doesn’t wait in line or patiently arrive at the end of a busy day, it appears when it wants and forces itself upon me whether I like it or not. (I don’t.)\n\n7. “Being home all day must be the dream!”\nHave you seen daytime TV?! It’s great if you want to see an endless stream of adverts willing you into debt or closer towards your imminent death (Make a will! Sell us your car! We’ll buy your house! Sell us your vital organs! You’ll be dead soon, you don’t need it!). No one wants to be stuck in bed all day. It might seem like a fun distraction from reality, but when I am off work and ill, it’s for a reason – namely my inability to function. “Duvet days” are replaced by sick bowls and enough painkillers to flatten 55 elephants.\n\n8. “You’ll feel better once you’ve had some rest…”\nI could sleep for a hundred years and it wouldn’t put a dent in it. Chronic fatigue commonly goes hand-in-shattered-hand with chronic illness and is a whole separate entity from simply feeling tired. It is an overwhelming need to rest, my body and mind constantly on the verge of shutdown. It’s wading through treacle. Napping can be useful, but it’s simply foreplay to my main irresistible desire which is a full blissful night of uninterrupted sleep. This is often an impossibility as so much of my medication can cause insomnia, broken sleep, getting up through the night due to cramps, pain and nausea. Putting my head on the pillow is a happy relief from an exhausting day, but it is by no means a miracle cure. It’s just another sticking plaster holding me together temporarily.",
