Living with a chronic illness means managing more than just physical symptoms. You may experience:

  • Emotional distress such as anxiety, depression, or grief related to your diagnosis

  • Social isolation or feelings of being misunderstood by others

  • A sense of loss of control over your body and life plans

Without support, these difficulties can lead to worsening mental health and decreased quality of life.
