This is a peer-led group for people suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or similar chronic or long-term illnesses. Chronic illness is life-altering and affects every aspect of your life, from work to relationships, everything changes. It’s hard to explain an invisible illness, it’s not like a broken arm you can see, which makes it hard for the people around you to understand. The world around you continues on while you are trying to adjust physically and mentally and this can be a very lonely space. This group is somewhere you can come and be with people who get it, to share your experiences, and strategies for making life more comfortable and manageable, or just to connect. We hope you will leave this group feeling uplifted, positive, and supported, and maybe make an acquaintance or two. #jerseyci #channelislands #mindjersey #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth
