I never usually would pair the phrases “benefiting from”and “chronic condition” together, but as I reflect on my health journey I know that in some ways I truly have benefited🤔. I have been able to find my limits and I know that I have more strength than I ever really gave myself credit for. I have gained a higher sense of compassion and empathy that I might not have had otherwise. And I now know how to enjoy the small things in life. In those ways, I’ve benefited 🌼
