Imagine the collective power if every person with a chronic illness spoke candidly about how mental and emotional health affects their physical symptoms. Christine M. Rich was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at a young age and spent many years trying to hide from and deny the fear, anger, and sadness she felt because of her illness. Chronic is the story of how a serious health scare in her late twenties caused Rich to reevaluate and change her focus to wellness and self-love rather than illness and fear. Through raw and personal stories and insights, Rich shares her journey of living with and befriending her less-than-glamorous, often times invisible, chronic illness. These insights include: How women insist they're "fine" even when they aren't. Why physicians should consistently discuss mental health with their patients. What the power of radical acceptance and self-love can provide. ¿ Chronic encourages readers to shift their perspective of chronic illness from one of shame or fear to one of acceptance and love. Throughout her book, Rich gives women reasons to feel empowered and to know they are not alone.
