Living With Chronic Illness in San Diego: What I Learned in Therapy
Living With Chronic Illness in San Diego: A Personal Reflection
I didn’t expect chronic illness to change how I saw myself. In San Diego, everyone seems active, driven, and healthy. My symptoms were invisible—but constant.
Therapy didn’t make me “better.” It made me honest.
What Therapy Taught Me
- Pain does not define worth
- Avoidance creates more suffering
- Acceptance opens doors to agency
ACT helped me stop measuring life by productivity and start measuring it by meaning.
