The tired society

Hey everyone hope you're doing okay, Millie here :) This weeks episode comes from my bed because I am in full on rest mode haha. I took a flight by myself last week to meet my dad in Gibraltar. This was my first time traveling alone so I thought I'd share my experience of it as someone with chronic fatigue syndrome. It was tiering and painful at times however was also easy and smooth so it was a real mix haha. Enjoy the episode and let me know on Instagram @chronicfatigue_millie any traveling with chronic illness tips and tricks you have :)

Hi everyone, Millie here! Today I wanted to chat about feeling left out due to chronic illness. I know this is something many of us face due to not being able to join in with everything able bodied people are able to do. Maybe it's school, work, hobbies or just general quality of life things that you feel you are missing out on or behind on due to chronic illness but I imagine we all have felt it at some point. During this podcast episode I also speak about the book Untamed by Glenn Doyle as I have recently finished it and LOVE IT! So mention that throughout the episode too. Hope you're doing alright, Millie :)

Hi everyone, Millie here! Today I wanted to chat about managing school with chronic fatigue syndrome. As someone who's just finished school I know how tricky and overwhelming it can all be. You are trying to keep up with everyone who's healthy and aren't always able to.  I asked on Instagram for any questions surrounding school with a chronic illness, I got a lot of questions so this is part 2 of this episode, to listen to part 1 check out last weeks episode! Here I am sharing my experiences with school and how I managed it to the best of my ability. Obviously I am only able to speak from my own experiences and knowledge. Additionally I have just finished school so it is a bit of a whirlwind to think back to. Hopefully some of what I said helps or is able to reinforce what you're already doing.  Hope you're doing alright, Millie :)

Today I got a comment on a TikTok saying that in relation to people with chronic illnesses 'it's all they talk about' and this is a reason why this person doesn't like to listen to those with chronic illnesses. I thought this was something interesting to talk about. It's something that I both agree and disagree on. Despite being ill we are still humans who have interests and personalities and hobbies who do talk about other things which aren't just chronic illnesses. However having said that, chronic illnesses are SUCH a big big part of our lives as those who live with them. Therefore it is no surprise that it is such a common topic for us as it does consume EVERY element of our lives. And this is what I wanted to dive into further in todays podcast episode. Hope you enjoy Millie :)

Hi everyone Millie here :) Today I chat about what it's like finishing A-level with a chronic illness and how I feel about it all. After not knowing if I'd ever be able to complete my A-levels to now and it being the day before results day having completed them, there's a lot of emotions there and wanted to chat about it. I think it's possibly different than healthy people reflecting back on A-levels and thought some of you may relate. I'm going to be posting on my instagram story today for a Q&A A-levels related podcast episode or in general just education related questions. My instagram is @chronicfatigue_millie so go give it a look and let me know of any questions you'd like me to go through in the future.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Tired Society! It’s been a while but I am back and ready to chat all chronic illness with you. Today’s episode is a brief catch up and reintroduction to the podcast which will now be out every Wednesday at 8am! Can’t wait to see you back here weekly for all chats chronic illness, love you! Byeeeee 🩷

Universal open days are exhausting for everyone but even more so as someone with CFS/ME. That’s why today I wanted to share my experience of an open day with hoe I coped and what it was like. I’ve only been to one uni open day so this is all my experience at that uni however, once I’ve gone to more I’ll be able to do a more rounded experience update for you! Hope you enjoy today’s episode and are doing alright.

I have a feeling this week’s episode could be something you’ve experienced if you are someone who’s chronically ill like myself. I find that not being able to experience life as other average people do does often affect our friendship and relationships with others as we’re going through something they never have and can’t. It’s a lot to take on and often means many of us feel isolated and alone so today I wanted to share my experiences and my best tips I’ve come across since being ill. Hope you enjoy!

This podcast is themed around topics of abortion and has mention of rape in it. Please be aware of this and if it something that could trigger you or isn’t something you’re comfortable listening to feel free to not listen. Next week I will be back with a chronic illness podcast! I personally just wanted to chat about this to anyone who wanted to listen as it’s been on my mind a lot recently. I hope this episode is okay and you are doing alright :)
