I have lived what feels like… 2-3 lifetimes before I hit 40 next year. I’ve done incredible things. Experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows. Dreaming, building, advocating… across industries and across nations. Online and offline. Flash forward: Since I progressively became chronically ill, I have spent the last 5+ years unpacking the profound grief of the loss of who I was and the loss of my perceived worth. Most of the time that process has been painfully difficult, so much so that I coped by trying to mentally run and forget everything ‘before’ because it was too emotionally painful to face the loss/change. Over the past year or so, I’ve learned that I don’t need to do that in order to heal. I can connect compassionately with younger me, be proud, and walk forward as I am now *with* who I used to be because she is still me and deserves to be here now. Integration.If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honoured to know even a part of your story. 🫶]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/ed3dda75-d948-45e8-adc8-10d7dfe58ddb/mentalhealth-good-musings-chronicillness-griefandhealing-this-post-is-both-vulnerable-and-i-hope-also-inspiring-to-those-who-may-need-it</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/ed3dda75-d948-45e8-adc8-10d7dfe58ddb/mentalhealth-good-musings-chronicillness-griefandhealing-this-post-is-both-vulnerable-and-i-hope-also-inspiring-to-those-who-may-need-it</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[britt@mstdn.games]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
