Journal Entries
Some days, I wake up feeling like I can take on the world. Other days, just getting out of bed feels like an impossible task. Today is somewhere in between. My body is tired, but my mind is determined. Thatâs the thing about living with chronic illness every day is a gamble, and you never quite know what youâll get.
For those who donât know, I live with chronic pancreatitis and pelvic congestive syndrome two conditions that have completely reshaped my life. They werenât caused by anything I did, they werenât a result of poor choices just genetics dealing me a hand I never asked for, but that doesnât mean I stop fighting.
Today, Iâm reminding myself to be grateful. Grateful for another day, another chance to grow, another opportunity to connect with others who understand this journey. Chronic illness can feel so isolating, especially when you âlook fineâ on the outside, but I know Iâm not alone. Thatâs why I started this space to share the good days, the bad days and everything in between
If youâre struggling today, know that I see you. You are not alone. We keep going, one day at a time.
Much love,
Trish
