Episode 012: What's The Hardest Part Of Chronic Illness? Identity

In this episode I discuss the question: what's the hardest part of chronic illness -- a look at how it is to manage all the changes in identity. What are the messages culture sends us about illness? What have been some of my struggles with self-worth? How have I grappled with the loss of control and grief brought on by chronic illness? What has it been like to accept the label "disabled?"
