I was officially diagnosed in my teens and have spent most of my life trying to find ways to cope. While its not always a hinderance, there are many periods of time when it becomes hard to manage. I know all to well the struggle, and as such I am doing my part to end the stigma on invisible illness. In 2020 I also became chronically ill which has changed almost every aspect of my life. Its very challenging and has most definitely affected my mental health.
