@jenn.pearson.fnp: Chronic illness has taught me things I didn’t understand—even as a nurse practitioner—until I lived them. Like how you can look fine and still be deciding whether you have enough energy to make dinner. Or how you can want to go somewhere and still need to cancel. I kept seeing the number 37 the other day 😂 so I decided to put together 37 lessons from my experience. Here are the first 13. Some I understand now. Others, especially giving myself permission to rest, I’m still practicing. You don’t have to find a silver lining in every hard day. But I hope something here helps you feel understood. Which lesson would you add? 🤍 #ChronicIllness #yourenotalone #ChronicIllnessAwareness #SelfCompassion #autoimmunedisease
