Listen "Coping When Lyme Makes Life Feel Out Of Control: "What Are We Gonna Do Without Bagels?!" - Ep 14"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever struggled with control issues (either your own or imposed on you?) If so, you're not alone.
Control issues are extremely common in the Lyme/chronic illness/disability communities (and so many others), yet they aren't talked about nearly as much as they should be. This episode tackles a huge topic we deal with on a daily basis in a variety of ways, covering everything from Lyme rage episodes, dietary and lifestyle adjustments, relationships, chemical sensitivities, *laundry,* and advice for what to do when everything feels overwhelming.
And, to stay on theme, there may even be a moment where this episode about "control" goes off the rails just enough to land us in a laughing fit. We hope you get something out of this one!
Content warning: discussion of food, disordered relationships with food, and mention of eating disorders.
This episode features Brooke Stoddard, Jennifer Hoffmann, Haley DiBiase, and Jesse Ruben from Generation Lyme--a community for people facing Lyme disease.
