Chronic Illness

What is chronic illness

Chronic diseases are defined broadly as conditions that last 1 year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both. There are many different conditions which fall under this umbrella including newly 'long covid'. It matters not to us what your diagnosis is or if you even have one, we just want to support you in struggles you may have.

Can I show my notepads to my consultant?

The notepads are yours to show whomever you'd like. We do have many customers who save their Chronic notepads to show their doctors or consultants o even family members to show how they've been feeling.

Will writing down my feelings help me feel better?

Brain scans on volunteers showed that putting feelings down on paper reduces activity in a part of the brain called the amygdala, which is responsible for controlling the intensity of our emotions.

Psychologists who discovered the "Bridget Jones effect" said it worked whether people elaborated on their feelings in a diary, penned lines of poetry, or even jotted down song lyrics to express their negative emotions.

Notepads are a great way of being able to express emotion without the feeling of commitment like a journal or a diary would impose. Being able to tear off the page and screw it up, throw it away or throw it in the fire can be such a cathartic experience.
