“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text The emotional and psychological impacts of becoming chronically ill so often go unrecognised, misunderstood belittled or simply ignored. Which means that when it happens to you, you have no idea if the grief, fear, overwhelm and exhaustion that you feel are normal or that maybe, it is all in your head after all. A big part of my work is to normalise and validate the often complex emotions that come with becoming chronically ill because people need to understand that all of the emotions are real, appropriate and completely understandable. In this episode, I share perhaps the most challenging emotional issue of living with chronic illness that leads so many of us feeling hopeless, powerless and completely overwhelmed. And more importantly, I give you some practical solutions for what you can do when you feel this way because you deserve to feel understood, supported and believed.

When others don't support how you choose to manage your illness. 51:01

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text Chronic illness changes every aspect of your life and a large part of that is figuring out ways to best manage your symptoms and protect your energy. The biggest problem is though that other people can get in the way of that. Whether it's Doctors not supporting the treatment options you want, friends or family criticising or judging the changes you are making or having to deal with others fear, concern or disapproval, it adds another big challenge to an already overwhelming situation. When chronic illness already leaves you feeling isolated, criticised and struggling, how do you cope when others don't support how you choose to manage your illness? Find out how in this episode of the Emotional Autoimmunity podcast.

Why we don't talk about our chronic illness 1:02:26

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text After a while, most people who live with chronic illness give up trying to talk about what it's like and how it feels, because people don't seem to understand. Especially as time goes on and those around you don't see you 'getting better' and can't seem to grasp what 'chronic' actually means. Often, when you do try to explain and seek support, you end up feeling judged, shamed and disbelieved, even by the very professionals who are supposed to be there to help you. You can be told to stop being so negative, not let the illness define you or offered unsolicited advice that seems to completely ignore the complex reality of your illness. So at a time in your life when you are most in need of empathy, compassion and understanding, you can end up feeling more alone than you have ever felt before. In this episode, I go through all of the key reasons why we don't talk about chronic illness. Why it happens, where peoples beliefs and judgements come from and more importantly, what you can do to help yourself when sharing leaves you feeling guilty, judged, blamed and alone. If you have tried talking about the impacts of chronic illness on your life and no one seems to understand, then this episode is for you. Chronic illness is very real and you deserve to be believed and supported.

How my chronic illnesses affect my everyday life 1:02:56

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text Today (June 19th, 2024) marks 4 years since my Type 1 diabetes diagnosis which makes this the perfect time to talk about how my chronic illnesses affect my everyday life. In this podcast I open up about each of my 4 different autoimmune diseases, the impact they have on me, what's changed what ongoing issues I still have and how I deal with them. This includes how it's affected my sleep, diet, social life, friendships, relationships and the many ways in which it has changed my life. I also share a peek into my daily chronic illness management, my health goals, typical medical administration and what life is generally like for me. As always, I am not a medical doctor and the way in which I choose to manage my illness is what works best for me. There is no "one" way to manage chronic illness and we all need to find our way and what works best for us. The audio recording cut out at the end but all you are missing is my usual "bye for now."

Why this isn't a 'you' thing. 48:52

för 38 weeks sedan48:52

48:52

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text One of the big, missing pieces in supporting people with chronic illness is that there is so little acknowledgment that becoming chronically ill changes peoples lives and that this creates complex emotional issues that are in fact, completely normal. The typical experience is that you get your diagnosis (or not) and leave the doctors office with no idea what to do next and how to even start to cope with how much your life and self have changed and no recognition of just how lost, confused, afraid and overwhelmed you are feeling. The one thing I see consistently with every single client is a mistaken belief that this is a 'me' thing and not an 'everybody' thing. That there is something lacking in me whether it's that I am not strong enough, determined enough or resilient enough to cope with this or that I am too weak, too needy, too confused or just too much to deal with. All of this is reinforced because most people don't understand the normal emotional reactions to becoming chronically ill and judge, criticise and blame, which leaves you feeling even worse about yourself. So if you have ever worried that this is a 'you' thing and that everyone else is coping much better with chronic illness than you, this will help you understand why you feel that way and how to change it.

Chronic illness, jealousy and envy. 47:00

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text One of my main objectives both with my podcast and my work, is to educate and validate the very normal emotional experiences and issues that come with becoming chronically ill. The feelings of jealousy and envy are the ones we don't talk about because it creates so much guilt and shame to even admit them to yourself, let alone to others. Watching your friends doing all the things that you can no longer do, feeling so jealous and envious that you need to stop using social media because it makes you cry or shaming yourself because you sometimes resent your partner for how they are able to be out and about in the world. Feeling envy and jealousy of people whose lives have not been changed by chronic illness can leave you feeling like a bad or terrible person and so very ashamed. In this episode, I share examples of envy and jealousy based on my clients and my own personal experiences, break down why it feels so wrong to have them and most importantly, how you can support yourself when experiencing these normal, natural emotions, without the guilt and shame. Let's talk about the real life emotional issues of living with chronic illness.

Dealing with anxiety and the 'what if' thoughts. 44:21

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text Anxiety and dealing with constant 'what if' thoughts are something that every human has to deal with as our brain is trying to interpret our environment for potential threats to try and keep us safe. But when you live with chronic illness, you will experience new levels of fear that create specific types of anxiety that non chronically ill people never need to think about. The anxiety of living in a body that is unpredictable and no longer feels safe and can make you experience pain, fatigue and disability at any time. The anxiety of not being believed, not feeling supported or experiencing blame and judgement for 'not trying hard enough to get well'. The anxiety of feeling let down or abandoned by the medical, social and community systems we thought would be there when we most needed them . The anxiety of experiencing a major flare, hospitalisation or more pain, disability and fatigue. Inevitably, all of these anxieties lead to feeling stuck in endless 'what if' scenarios about all the things that you don't want to happen which leaves you losing sleep, unable to relax and dealing with the inflammatory effects of all that stress and fear. In this episode I break down for you why these fears happen, how they have an impact on your emotions and body and most importantly, I share new skills you can use to overcome those scary 'what if' thoughts. And if you get some good from this episode, please share this podcast and leave me a five star review to help me reach more people who need this information.

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text When you live with chronic illness, you can feel so very alone which makes getting support more important than ever. What's often shocking though is discovering just how little support is actually out there! There is so little knowledge about chronic illness in our communities, families, medical and social support systems that you can end up feel judged, blamed, isolated and left to fend for yourself. You can feel guilty for what your illness is doing to others, worry about letting others down and feel so overwhelmed and anxious because you don't know how to get doctors to help you. Also as a formerly independent, capable and competent person, you can feel very vulnerable when it comes to asking for help in case the help you need will not be given. If you want to know how to maximize your chances of getting the support you need, from online groups, doctors, family and friends, then this podcast is for you! Make sure you share this one with everyone you know who lives with chronic illness because we so deserve to be supported.

Self-Pity, Self-Compassion and Toxic Positivity 42:13

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text There is no denying that when it comes to chronic illness, there is a huge gap in peoples understanding of just how much it changes your life, energy and ability. So when it comes to trying to share your feelings, doubts, fears and sadness about your experiences of living with chronic illness, you are so often met with toxic positivity responses like 'at least it's not cancer' or 'you just need to be more positive'. Many of the normal emotional experiences that come with chronic illness are so often wrongly interpreted by others as self-pity which feels dismissive, judgmental and demeaning. In this episode I will walk you through all the ways that self-pity, self-compassion and toxic positivity relate to living with chronic illness and give you some insight into dealing with toxic positivity and learning to practice and benefit from self-compassion. If you live with chronic illness and have ever worried about getting stuck in self-pity or felt shut down by all the 'just think more positive' people, then this episode is for you!

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text When you become chronically ill, one of the biggest challenges you will face because of how the disease so often limits your energy and ability, is an increased need for rest. In fact, rest is an essential component of responsible chronic illness management. Yet so many of us struggle with embracing rest because of ongoing issues of feeling guilty about the amount of rest we need, anxiety about everything that is being left undone and fear of being judged as lazy or selfish. And if you are resting while still feeling guilty, ashamed or anxious, then you can't get any benefit from rest at all. In this episode I walk you through the issues with guilt about rest, why it happens and give strategies on how you can start changing your relationship with rest so you can start making the most of it.

Managing your energy with chronic illness 54:39

för 1 year sedan54:39

54:39

Enjoyed this episode? Send Kerry a text The hallmark symptom of all chronic illness is without question, the fatigue. Every time I ask my community which symptom they most wish they could eliminate permanently, fatigue tops the list. It is debilitating, disabling and usually coincides with things like brain fog, pain, anxiety and depression. So it's no surprise that learning how to manage the energy you have is one of the most important challenges those of us with chronic illness face. Your level of functionality depends on which energy stage you are experiencing now and how much you can resist the temptation to "do all the things" on the days you do have energy. Because when you try and do "all the things" there is a very real risk of pushing yourself back into another lengthy flare where you are exhausted or bed-bound again. In this episode, I walk you through what the different energy stages of chronic illness are, share my top tips on managing each stage and more importantly, know how to protect and get the best from your precious energy levels.
