Wrestling with the “Why?” of CIRS

In this VLOG, I discuss the psychological and spiritual challenges often faced when battling Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (AKA Mold Illness). Key Takeaways include - Chronic illness can create barriers to accessing love and God.

Anger and frustration are common emotions during health crises.

Creating art can be a therapeutic outlet for expressing feelings like anger and grief.

Questioning God during suffering is a natural reaction.

Bad things can happen to good people. As common sensical as that may be, it can feel challenging to our beliefs especially around fairness and safety.

The journey through illness can lead to a new understanding of faith.

Community support is vital for those struggling with CIRS as medical trauma can exacerbate feelings of isolation.

It's important to find ways to hold on to hope during difficult times.

Ultimately, I think one of the healthier things we can do is accept that the questioning one's faith as a natural part of the healing journey.

I send BIG LOVE to you on your healing journey.
