After a recent holiday to Santorini I found myself looking back over photos and worrying that I was becoming part of the problem. We all feel the draw to get that photo where everything looks great and perfect. I thought I’d do a post to demonstrate that this certainly isn’t the case. As always the camera doesn't properly show the extent but I can assure you it was looking (and feeling) angry.
We all want to be seen to be living that dream life, perhaps AD sufferers even more than others. We’ve been made to feel worthless all too many times and there’s a desire to “prove people wrong”. I’ve certainly, up until recently, only ever wanted to hide my condition and not be open about it for obvious reasons.
Something I love about the Tiktok generation is their commitment to authenticity and the celebration of differences. I find this quite inspiring and I hope it’s the start of an important societal shift in that we don’t feel so ashamed of anything that doesn’t make us “normal”.
