Hi everyone, how are you doing today? 👋
With 24/7 headlines, social media updates, and constant notifications, it’s easy to feel like we’re always surrounded by stressful news: wars, climate change, political unrest, health scares… the list goes on.
For many people living with a chronic illness, this added layer of worry can feel overwhelming. It might bring up anxiety, worsen fatigue, or just make it harder to find moments of peace.
💬 How do you feel when you follow the news?
Do you limit your exposure, or do you try to stay informed no matter what?
Have certain stories affected you more than others?
Do you ever feel guilt, anger, helplessness, or even numbness?
And most importantly: what helps you cope?

You’re not alone if it feels like too much. Let’s talk about it, kindly and openly, right here.
Take care,
