Today is National Day Without Stigma. There are so many illnesses that are shrouded in stigma. Mental Illness, Neuromuscular diseases, any disease that makes us different amongst our peers. Today we will talk about stigma, the impact, and how to simply "GET OVER IT".

EP174 - World Mental Health Day #MentalHealthFIrstAid #ChronicallyAwesome

Wednesdays at 1230PM Pacific/330PM Eastern: It is time to swap being chronically ill for Chronically Awesome!  Join the Chronically Awesome Donna Kay and Jules as they teach you how to be less Chronically Ill and more Chronically Awesome.  What is Chronically Awesome?   Chronically Awesome is a lifestyle choice for the chronically ill. It is a positive way of living life with chronic illness. We can separate ourselves mentally from our chronic illness using artistic expression, mindfulness, and a process of building ourselves up day-by-day growing emotionally strong which makes us physically stronger.    Chronic Chronicles is an educational and outreach program of The Chronically Awesome Foundation. www.chronicallyawesome.org    *Things to remember:   1. This is not a show about marijuana.   2.
