I’m Anja, and I’ve been living with the chronic illness ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) since I was a child. Over the years, I’ve experienced both the physical and emotional sides of chronic illness - the grief, the limitations, and the process of learning how to live differently.

I created this guide to share the words, reflections, and understanding I wish I had earlier. My hope is that it can help you feel a little less alone in something that can often feel very isolating.
