I was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) about halfway through my final year of nursing school.

In the middle of my exams I was hospitalized, which was an incredibly grounding experience given that I had just spent a large chunk of time on the other side of the hospital bed learning how to look after people.

I was shocked at how vulnerable I felt, even though intellectually I understood exactly what was going on around me. The years that followed involved me graduating, getting my first job and going on to become more specialized in oncology, all the while also trying to balance and manage my own chronic illness; I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia during this time.

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.

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.

What I've Learned About Bravery as the Parent of a Child With a Degenerative Disease
When my daughter was diagnosed with a rare, neurodegenerative disease in 2015, the old me died. I lost myself in the endless persist to save her. I began to dive into the leukodystrophy community to find anything and everything I could to help her. I spent most of my time researching and making phone calls to get Jordyn enrolled in a research study I had heard about at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. They had a new Leukodystrophy Center of Excellence that had just opened. We would end up traveling to Philly every year, sometimes multiple times a year for research visits and other procedures.

What You Can Ask to Help a Friend Struggling With Mental Illness
I had a conversation with some good friends the other day about how it can be hard to ask people who are struggling how they are doing, more than just a short, “How ya doin? Good,” exchange, at least. Generally, what I have found is many people, perhaps even the majority, wish they could better care for others. But often we are finding ourselves in an awkward middle-ground of wanting to help, but unsure of how to ask for specifics of what we can help with.

“Why Quiet, Unquestioning Students are Highly Overrated”
kids with ADHD, I was in the top 4% of the bell curve, much to the glowing pride of my mum and dad.My parents, who may have been in a little bit of denial, concluded that I was just faster and got picked on because I was statistically brighter than most of my classmates and a bad runner who didn’t like football (“soccer”). They coincidentally also got my ears checked a lot because I “wasn’t able to hear people sometimes.”Because of my undiagnosed ADHD, I was often a confusing student to teach.

7 Tips for Coping With Post-COVID Symptoms From Someone With Chronic Illness
My name is Julie Farkas. I’m the admin for the multiple autoimmune syndrome group at the Autoimmune Registry, and I want to give you some hard-earned advice on how to manage your post-COVID world. I’ve had multiple sclerosis since the 1980s, but wasn’t diagnosed until 2001. Because medical research is light years ahead of the research in the 1980s, I don’t think it will take that long to unravel the mysteries of post-COVID disorders. But until then, you may find it difficult to manage all the physical, mental and social problems you will encounter. So here are my observations and advice for you as you travel on the long road back to wellness.

When Chronic Illness Leaves You Mourning Your 'Before' Self
When talking to people who developed a chronic illness later in life, (by this, I mean they didn’t grow up with it) they will often describe a “before” and an “after.” There is usually a point in time, or an event, that can be identified as the moment where their life changed. People won’t necessarily realize that in the moment, but instead can see it when looking back and reflecting. Sometimes it involves an accident or a viral illness, sometimes that moment is when a doctor gave a shocking diagnosis or, for some people, it is an emotional trauma they lived through.

When Your Family Compares Your Mental Illness With Another Relative’s Experience
Recently, I was listening to a podcast interviewing a woman with chronic mental illness, who was discussing how she juggles parenting with her mental health. The woman mentioned that her son struggled with his own mental health issues that presented differently from her own. The discussion turned to how families can inadvertently create a situation where one individual becomes the “poster child” for mental illness within the family unit, which may inhibit others within the family from acknowledging their own struggles because they don’t fit the familial narrative of what it means to be mentally ill.

7 (Actually Helpful) Things to Say to Someone Struggling With Mental Illness
“I get sick of people telling me what not to do, and then not telling me what to do.” No one likes to hear they are doing something wrong. Sometimes, it can be a thing of just feeling a bit foolish; like someone pointing out you are pulling on a door with a sign saying, “push.” Other times, it can be downright demoralizing, leaving the person wishing they had never tried in the first place. I have been on the giving and receiving end of the latter.

5 Life Lessons I’ve Learned From Raising an Autistic Child
Being the sister of an autistic man, I thought I knew a lot about autism.

But this “lived experience” still didn’t prepare me for raising a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

How Life With Chronic Pain Taught Me to Be More Present
This time last year while the world fell apart, I pulled myself together. As odd as it may seem, I thrived during the pandemic. I knew what it was like to shut down and isolate myself, so things shutting down and quarantining were, in many ways, familiar to me. I knew because I had experienced lows so low you withdraw from people, I would survive being away from people, even though it would be hard. It comforted me to know I would be OK. It also motivated me to be better than OK.

What are your most vivid childhood memories? The ones that stick for the rest of your life. Perhaps they helped define or shape you. Was it that first sleepover camp? Learning to ride a bike, how to swim? A birthday party? A vacation? The first day of school? Joyous events, full of comfort and nostalgia. But think about those other memories: skinned knees, fighting with a friend, parents divorcing. Children are not immune to pain. I was not immune to pain.
