What began as a sort of instagram-diary became a method of connection to other people like me – that I hadn’t found before.
It was the community I didn’t know I so needed – holding me accountable to do the homework and research, to be on top of my symptoms, and be constantly thinking of – how can I be of service to others? How can I help? I was really helping myself.
My username started out as “The Chronic Chronicles” – unbeknownst to me, there was a typo in my name (The Chronic “Chonicles”) and the real name was already taken by someone with far more followers than I. I then changed my name to Iconic & Chronic, keeping my logo identical so there was still brand consistency.
