I never thought I would need to get to know myself, or a new version of me due to the impact of a long term condition.
In this episode I talk about how living with Long Covid and POTS has changed how I see myself, how the physical impact has changed or limited the things I use to do and/or enjoy. I talk about reflecting upon myself and times when I have not recognised the person in the mirror. I reflect on how this effects relationships, confidence and the person I once felt I weasand liked being.
I have always held on to positivity and I discuss how this has supported my quest to get to know me again. To embrace where I am at this point in my life and look at what the art of the possible is, rather than what I can no longer do. It is a taskmaster too except such changes, to embrace them but it is important for emotional and mental health. I hope you find this episode helpful, as always thank you for listening and take care.
