@_izzysprivatestory_: A vulnerable post but one for awareness, because whilst I may look like I take this illness in my stride, each and every day like many other women I am constantly fighting with my body. Fighting the fatigue. Fighting the pain. Fighting the guilt of not being able to show up the way I want to. Some days I win. Some days it wins. But every single day, I keep going. Chronic illness doesn’t always look “sick.” Sometimes it looks like a smile, a full face of makeup, going to work, showing up anyway. To the women silently battling their own bodies — I see you. You’re not dramatic. You’re not weak. You’re resilient in ways people will never fully understand 🤍 #pcos #chronicillness #womenshealth #awareness
