living with chronic conditions/illnesses; soft-spoken storytime

Welcome to bluemind ASMR, your personal relaxation station. I’m your host, blue skies (they/them/theirs). Tonight I'll be talking about chronic conditions; what that means, what it's like to live with them, and why you deserve to be happy and have your needs met regardless of your illnesses/conditions. Positive affirmations start at 42 minutes.
