I have a feeling this week’s episode could be something you’ve experienced if you are someone who’s chronically ill like myself. I find that not being able to experience life as other average people do does often affect our friendship and relationships with others as we’re going through something they never have and can’t. It’s a lot to take on and often means many of us feel isolated and alone so today I wanted to share my experiences and my best tips I’ve come across since being ill. Hope you enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

Exams with CFS at A-level! 

Awareness and representation is something we are majorly lacking in the chronic illness community! I feel like we never get to see ourselves in tv shows and films and other forms of media which SUCKS! Today I wanted to chat a bit about why it’s vital that changes in the future and why I try and do my part to bring awareness :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

I think if you live with chronic fatigue syndrome or another chronic illness I’m very sure you’ve had to cancel on plans before, we all have. And there is always this strong feeling of guilt attached to it, you know you’re doing the right thing for your health but you want to be there and again your illness is holding you back! Today I wanted to chat about that because I know it’s something a lot of us have probably struggled with, myself included.

Hi everyone, hope you're doing okay!Right now I'm in school holidays but because of my chronic illness which contradictory to popular belief doesn't actually stop when on school holidays it's not as fun as it should be. I have revision to do but my body is exhausted from the last school term which means no revision. Basically there's no win in this situation! I thought maybe someone would relate to the overwhelming situation and would like to know that they're not alone :) I hope this can help and bring some support.~Millie :)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

School holidays with a chronic illness!

I feel like it's very common for those of us with chronic illnesses and invisible illnesses to be invalidated by those who don't go through things similar to us simply because they don't understand and maybe don't try to. Today I wanted to chat about that incase you can relate. You're not alone and I try to share my experiences with it and how I get through it.Hope you're doing alright :)Millie :)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

Having your illness invalidated

Have you been worried how covid will affect you with a chronic illness? I definitely have and then two weeks ago I tested positive. It was scary and very hard with my chronic fatigue syndrome but because of that I wanted to share my experience and how I got on and felt during and after. Maybe it'll help you worry less or maybe you will be able to relate to it if you've been through it. Hope you enjoy and remember I'm back here every Wednesday with a new episode where I chat about anything and everything chronic illness. See you next week and hope you're doing okay  Millie :)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

Covid with a chronic illness

I'm Millie and chronic illness sucks but you're not alone it! Here I chat every Wednesday all about my experiences with my own chronic illness, chronic fatigue syndrome. I cover lots of topics so it's not just for those with CFS. I'm here to bring awareness and support. Chronic illnesses are often very isolating so I'm hoping to brighten your day and show you what you're going through is valid and there are others. Showing the good and the bad of everyday life, sharing tips and tricks to manage and personal stories along the way. Sit back, relax and get ready to join in on the tired society.

Lets face it for those of us who go through crashes they can be really frustrating. We want to be able to do so much more by our symptoms come down on us!Today I wanted to share some of the things I like to do when I can manage them when in a crash, of course this depends on how bad the crash is but these are some typical things I enjoy when I have low energy.I hope you enjoy and feel free to share some with me on instagram @chronicfatigue_millieHope you're doing alright &lt;3Millie :)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

When I'm in a CFS crash

I feel like we are justified for our anger when it comes to chronic illness. As someone who has chronic fatigue syndrome and has been ill for years I think I have good reason to be angry. Angry at my illness, my life, the world, the lack of scientific research. Just in general there’s a lot so today I wanted to chat about it because often we’re shut down and told to be grateful it’s not worse when that isn’t the solution --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

Anger over illness 

It's okay to have a low time and it shouldn't be something to be ashamed to admit especially because often not having to hide it can help. I've been struggling a bit recently so today I wanted to share some of the small things in life which bring me some happiness and I hope you can do the same! You're doing amazing and I'm so proud of you for managing and taking everything one day at a time. See you next week for another episode ~Millie :)--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

We need a little bit of happiness

There’s so many problems with having an invisible illness but one I find so infuriating is when people make assumptions about things they don’t know anything about. This comes from people who know me but not very well, doctors, random people who I’ve never spoken to before and more. Today I chat about them and my experiences in hopes to give you something to relate to and know you’re not alone with this because it is so unfair! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message

Exams with CFS

As someone with a chronic illness I am definitely NOT made for exams or generally the education system.  I had a 3 hour one on Monday and have a 5 hour one on Wednesday and then another on Friday and more next week. Raise of hands from people who don't think I'll manage haha (I am raising my hand). It's exhausting and definitely an unfair system for all of us who will struggle and be at a disadvantage because of things we can't control. Today I just chat about how I'm feeling after an exam, maybe some of you will relate. And I chat about how I think it's unfair how the system in designed.

Feeling overwhelmed? Same!

The end of a year can be hard on those of us who's year is full of illness and hurt because of that illness but I want to remind you of how strong and powerful you are. Yes chronic illness is a daily battle which feels often like you're losing and it takes a lot from it but I want to remind you that you've made it all the way through this year. You have survived everyday and I am so proud of you because I know there were many days which it didn't feel possible.  Today I share a few things I am proud of from this year as well as some hopes I have for next year of what I want to prioritise.  I hope you're doing as well as you can be, I am proud of you. You work harder than so many people just to be at the same level as healthy people and for that you reserve to be recognised for your strength.  Happy New Year, I'll speak to you next in 2022. You're amazing and strong and powerful, let no one tell you otherwise.  - Millie :)  ---   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetiredsociety/message
