Living with Invisible Pain: Navigating Chronic Illness in Silence
This chapter explores the challenges of living with invisible pain, chronic illness, and disabilities that are not readily apparent to others. The speakers share personal experiences of navigating misdiagnoses, surgeries, and societal pressures to maintain a facade of strength despite internal struggles. The discussion sheds light on the stigma surrounding invisible pain, the impact on individuals in academia, and the societal emphasis on productivity over self-care.
