spreading good vibes for those with chronic illness, one day at a time

 

what’s chronic positivity?

Chronic Positivity is a community for those with chronic illness. We’re dedicated to encouraging you in the midst of their symptoms and helping you remembering the beauty in the midst of the difficulty.

Toxic positivity isn’t the goal here. We won’t ever deny that the bad parts exist. Instead, we believe that the glass is half empty and half full.

Chronic illness is an incredibly isolating and difficult experience. But you have an entire community standing behind you. You are not alone.
