Hello! My name is Lizzy, and I’m 21years old. I thought I’d set up a blog, to document my thoughts and feelings, along my current journey of chronic illness. I’ve never managed to keep up a blog before so wish me luck! The things I share will be my own views and experiences, and are not the same for everyone. I have complex and long term health issues. I have struggled with mental health problems for longer than I can remember, and in my teens was a very severe OCD sufferer. I also have a range of debilitating physical health conditions, including ME/CFS (which I’ve had 7years and has had a huge impact on my life) IBS; PCOS; and scarring of the liver. This is my attempt at sharing my experiences in an often scary and unsettling way of life. It is also my attempt to show that there is far more to me than my illnesses, but that this is reality, and rarely shared. It’s not all bad, there are pockets of goodness! I have had opportunities and insights that I would never have had if I was healthy. I hope you enjoy, and find it interesting and insightful to read! Welcome friends. Much love, Lizzy x #chronicillness #cfs #mentalhealth #chronicpain #ill
