What Doesn't Kill You: A Life with Chronic Illness - Lessons from a Body in Revolt by Tessa Miller
5.0
Life changing
I am currently going through the grueling process of getting a diagnosis or rather diagnoses and I can't tell you how many nights I lie awake crying in pain. Having to wait do doctors appointments and then being gaslit into thinking I'm crazy or that its all in my head is so frustrating and depressing. Along with growing up in the mental health systems. I know what they think. Yet I still hope for things to be different. This book made me realize that I'm not crazy and I'm not alone in how I feel. My feelings and symptoms are valid and real and I deserve respect. I highly recommend this book for nor only chronically I'll folks but everyone. I learned so much from this and I've been living with chronic illness for years. Imagine what would happen if everyone picked up this book.
