I bet you do. Odds say that you do. If you have a BIG health challenge like cancer, Parkinson's, or MS, or, if you've been injured and need a cane or wheelchair to move about, it's pretty obvious.
But what about "hidden" (or invisible) health challenges, like:
migraine headaches
fibromyalgia
chronic pain
chronic fatigue
Diabetes
epilepsy
body aches & pains (from aging)
high blood pressure & heart issues
asthma, allergies, lung issues
complications from an injury
And what about conditions like:
anxiety
chronic worry
depression
insomnia
I have invisible health
challenges. Three, in fact!
Are these "health conditions" worthy of attention and care? Absolutely!
Anytime we're struggling with anything—with our body or our mind—that's called "suffering,"
and we need and are deserving of compassion because suffering, and DENYING OUR SUFFERING, has the potential to minimize our happiness and total well-being.
