Chronic illness and chronic pain support group
Do you deal with something "Chronic"? Do you know what it feels like to be stuck inside your body while it inexplicably malfunctions or "fails"? Do you know what it feels like to lose hope after the X-odd doctor tells you "but your bloodwork is fine"?
We do too. And we know how this silent suffering can be unbearable. To be told "well you look healthy" and yet feel like you anything but that. We know that being stuck inside your own internal "chronic" prison is incredibly isolating.
This is why we are hosting a "'Chronic' support group". This will be a space to see and be seen in your chronic health or chronic pain ailment. It's a space for us to be a little less alone in this pain and to be amongst others who have an idea of what we are going through.
This group will be focused on holding open, curious, and loving space for each other while we share our own experiences and feel into the frustrations, wins, grief, wisdom, and everything in between that our chronic ailments have brought us.
This group will not be (or at least less) focused on the "fixing" or solution-based discussions to our pain (although, you are more than welcome to stay around after and share resources and we plan to have other meetups focused on this!)
If you've read this far, it's most likely because you deal with something chronic. My heart goes out to you. Know that you are not alone.
Come support and be supported! See you soon.
