#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

It’s almost time to flip the page to a new month, and as we make that transition, let’s take a #MightyMinute to reflect on the one we’ve just had.

📈 What was a high? Maybe it was a moment of clarity, relief, or peace. A win you’re proud of, something that brought you joy or made you smile, a task you checked off your list, or an accomplishment you achieved.

📉 What was a low? Maybe it was a setback or challenge, a situation that felt frustrating or unhelpful, or a tough symptom day.

How was your month?

Hi Mighties 💞

August has felt especially long for many reasons, but the hardest part for me has been dealing with sudden changes I didn’t see coming (which, somehow, seem to happen every year in different areas of my life). I find I do best when I can see change coming gradually and have time to mentally prepare. But when it’s unexpected, I tend to feel really disoriented and anxious.

Can anyone else relate? How do you cope with sudden, unexpected, or uncomfortable changes? What helps you regulate your emotions and responses in those moments?

🌱 I’d love to hear your experiences and thoughts.

When you live with a health condition, advice can come from all directions — friends, family, doctors, even strangers. Sometimes it feels overwhelming or unwanted, even when it’s well-intentioned. But every so often, a piece of advice or a small tip arrives at just the right moment and makes a difference.

Maybe it’s a coping strategy, a mindset shift, or a practical life hack that makes your days a little easier.

💡 What’s a piece of advice, insight, or tip you’ve received for your health that was actually helpful?
