Invisible Condition - Journal Entry No. 5 - Quit and Run

The Invisible Condition Podcast

Send us a text

I have a lot of thoughts swirling around my mind.

While there are many ways to release these thoughts, I thought to myself, “Why not record them and share them publicly.” It already feels like someone is about to find my journal, and my private thoughts, and start reading. But I decided, that’s alright!

These are my thoughts, and maybe, perhaps, they resonate with you. Maybe they drive you to action or perhaps they make you stop and think. Or, maybe you dismiss them because they are nonsense!

My goal is to release a mini-podcast (and eventually a video) every Friday. These journal entries will be less than 10 minutes. I have to time-box things because I know I can ramble on!

Let me know your feedback! And perhaps if you have random thoughts about invisible conditions, send me your audio and I can publish it!

Summary

In this episode, I discuss the fear I’ve been experiencing while working on the Invisible Condition podcast. I acknowledge the fear of discrimination and rejection that many people with invisible conditions face when sharing their stories. Despite my fears, I am determined to bring more stories into the world and end the stigma surrounding invisible conditions. Reflecting on my past tendency to quit and run from difficult situations, I express hope for a future where it is okay to talk about the challenges of living with invisible conditions. Let’s overcome fear and reach out for support.

Takeaways

• Fear of discrimination and rejection often prevents people with invisible conditions from sharing their stories.
• It is important to push through fear and continue to bring awareness to invisible conditions.
• Creating a future where it is okay to talk about the challenges of living with invisible conditions is crucial.
• Overcoming fear requires determination, hope, and support from others.
