Thank you for sharing this! As a person who lives with invisible illness I am glad to find a new blog about it and to share the project. “You don’t look sick” is a ridiculous statement. I have known multiple gorgeous people who died of cancer or other things still as beautiful physically as ever. Those who live many years with various limitations often find our pleasant appearance seems to inspire a lack of compassion, even in some cases an apparently vicious jealousy.
From diabetes and cancer to lupus, MS, even genetic disorders, heart problems, arthritis- so many conditions can cause pain, disabilities and a circumscribed life yet be totally “invisible” to a stranger.
Mensen maken de samenleving en nemen daarin een positie in. Deze website geeft toegang tot een diversiteit aan artikelen die gaan over 'samenleven', belicht vanuit verschillende perspectieven. De artikelen hebben gemeen dat er gezocht wordt naar wat 'mensen bindt, in plaats van wat hen scheidt'.
