@After sharing about my health this week on facebook, I’ve realized how overwhelming it can be to open up.I know people mean well, but the amount of unsolicited advice has honestly been a lot to take in. Suggestions like “try this” or “do that” come from a good place, but when you’re already exhausted and hurting, it can feel overwhelming instead of helpful.Please know I am working closely with my medical team and doing everything I can to take care of myself. Right now, what I need most is support, understanding, and encouragement more than advice.Thank you to those who have checked in and shown kindness. It truly means more than you know. on Shift.ms
