True: My own self-care is often put on the back burner.

I'm using a [wheelchair/scooter/cane]. Do I have to give up my biggest dreams?

Here are traps that we with Chronic Illnesses fall into. Let's think about how to be more authentic & forgiving to ourselves instead.

"You’ve been taught that effort equals worth. When rest becomes a necessity, not a luxury, it’s easy to feel like you’re not doing enough. Authenticity means separating your identity from your output."
