Most patients with Chronic Illness does not only experience changes inside their bodies with their affected organs. They also experience drastic changes in their physical appearance. Sadly, these changes are shamed accordingly to the contextual standards that our society.
From our S1:EP1 Body Changes and Insecurities Pau Quitzon Shared:
"Don't expect others to love you without loving yourself first. It should start within yourself first. You need to love yourself first more than others."
Pau, explicitly expressed how a chronically ill patient should prioritized herself/himself. At the end of the day no one will understand your needs, you will be the one to feel the pain, and experience the bullying. That is why learning to love yourself, prioritizing yourself, and appreciating all the little things that you have is essential.
Keep loving yourself lovely spoonies! Do you have any experience to share that is similar to Pau? If you haven't seen our episode, it is available here
We would like to hear your experiences.
Remember that #iamscarredandiamproud
