Hello! Below is a Chronic Illness Survival Guide, from the Mighty website. The holidays can be a time of celebration, fun and high energy for some people. Many BNTM individuals experience fatigue , especially when dealing with a respiratory infection that can impact our daily lives.  This fatigue can be especially impacted around the holidays if we push way beyond our normal routines. Some of the tips in the guide below apply to BNTM individuals, some may not. The purpose of the guide is to communicate honestly with others about any limitations that you may have, to be compassionate with yourself. Let me know if any particular suggestion appeals to you. https://themighty.com/topic/chronic-illness/chronic-illness-holiday-survival-guide/

Brandon,
You are most welcome! Yes, these reminders can be used throughout the year- we must advocate for ourselves with family and friends, as well as our health care professionals.
