Medical PROCEDURE BURNOUT // The BRUTAL TRUTH about dealing w/ Chronic Illness & Multiple Surgeries

Let's get REAL. If there's one place I can always be brutally honest, it's right here on my YouTube channel. Today, I want to share a side of me that you might not be familiar with – the side of me that's simply exhausted and burnt out. You usually see me as filming Jen, migraine Jen, or sobbing Jen, but today, I'm grumpy Jen, just literally feeling the weight of it all. You caught me in a moment of total exhaustion.

Let me be completely honest with you about the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with chronic illness. It's not just about the ups and downs of symptoms; it's about the constant hope and the inevitable letdowns. Chronic stress has a way of wearing you down, and it's okay to sometimes feel just utterly exhausted.

I'll also talk about how the support from loved ones can change over time, how it impacts not only me but my whole family.

Dealing with back-to-back medical procedures, coordinating everything, and explaining my situation to people can be overwhelming. It's a lot, especially when you're already battling chronic illness.

So join me as I share this unfiltered truth about what it's like to be a warrior in the face of adversity. This video is for anyone dealing with chronic illness, a reminder that it's okay to have those grumpy days.

Let's face the challenges of chronic illness together.
