If you’ve noticed more migraines, joint pain, or chronic illness flares as October rolls around, you’re not alone.

Sometimes referred to as the “October Slide,” seasonal changes, including shifts in barometric pressure and weather, can contribute to symptom changes for some people living with chronic illness.

But that doesn’t mean you’re doomed every October or that you can’t enjoy everything fall has to offer.

Consider scheduling pacing breaks, planning extra rest days before or after activities, and giving yourself permission to slow down when your body needs it.

Most importantly, practice self-compassion. It can be frustrating to feel like you’re doing everything you possibly can and still experience a flare.

That’s not your fault. You’re doing the best that you can.

Save this as a reminder to give yourself extra compassion this season.

You’ll meet other women just just “get it”.

Have you noticed more migraines, joint pain, or chronic illness flares since October started?

You’re not alone. Seasonal changes, including shifts in barometric pressure, can affect symptoms for some people living with chronic illness.

But that doesn’t mean you’re doomed every October or that you can’t enjoy everything fall has to offer.

What changes in your symptoms have you noticed this season?

Acceptance is not giving up. It’s finally telling the truth about what your body needs today.

If you’ve been judging yourself for needing to slow down, save this and send it to someone who’s doing their best with a chronic illness or disability.

Radical acceptance means:
* meeting your body where it is, not where you wish it was
* making one small committed action at a time
* trusting that tiny changes still count

A walk around the block.
A five-minute stretch in bed.
Trying the medication.
Showing up to PT.

Those small things are not “nothing”—they’re how real change happens.

What’s one tiny action your body has been asking for lately?

So many therapy acronyms get thrown around like you’re supposed to already know them.

If you deal with chronic illness, these are the approaches that we continue to find actually help - save this for later and send it to someone who feels overwhelmed by the options.

For chronic illness, I keep coming back to 4 tools:

* trauma-informed CBT helps untangle stuck thoughts without minimizing what happened
* DBT helps hold fear and facts at the same time
* ACT helps with radical acceptance + real-life action
* somatic work helps calm the nervous system when your body is in overdrive
*
It’s not about loving pain or pretending symptoms aren’t real.It’s about building a toolbox that makes day-to-day life feel a little more possible.

What modality has helped you most - or are you still trying to figure that out?

Chronic Illness PSA: I feel like not enough people realize it’s okay to fire your doctor.

If a doctor is not listening, not curious, and not getting input from other medical professionals, it is okay to get a second, third or fourth opinion.

You may have feelings of sadness and frustration about feeling dismissed. Those are totally valid. And, there are so many doctors who are curious, who want to work with chronic illness patients and are ready to listen.

Tag your favorite chronic illness doctors below that are curious, kind and knowledgeable!

PSA to my chronic illness gals:

You are allowed to accommodate yourself and also work hard towards your goals.

•You are allowed to work at a slower pace with more time between meetings.
•You are allowed to work a new schedule to accommodate appointments and symptoms.
•You are allowed to change your mind and say something is not working for you anymore.

What accommodations have been most helpful for you?

Perimenopause can make chronic illness symptoms feel louder—and a lot of people are never told that.

Save this if you’ve been wondering why your pain, fatigue, brain fog, sleep, or mood feels different lately.

What gets missed most:

* Hormone shifts can intensify joint pain, pelvic pain, and pain with s*x.
* It can start earlier than people think—sometimes as early as 35.
* It can be really hard to tell what’s chronic illness and what’s perimenopause.

That confusion and frustration is real.

So is the grief of feeling like you have to learn your body all over again.

You deserve support that looks at the whole picture, not just one piece of it.

What symptom has felt the most confusing for you?
