Episode notes
How to deal with your environment while you have a chronic disease, such as long-term COVID, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), Lyme, etc. I know this can be a real struggle. What should you do with all of the expectations and disappointment of letting people down while learning about your condition?
In this podcast, I discuss strategies for managing your work, colleagues, friends, partner, family, children, and yourself effectively. What are the common pitfalls to avoid and what are the recommended alternatives? Managing these relationships carefully is extremely important. You don't want to lose all your friends, for example. You need to find a middle ground in accepting your own new circumstances while at the same time dealing with many others who might rely on you.
