About Living with Latitude…

A space for people navigating chronic illness and life after diagnosis.

Living with Latitude is a community that’s learning to navigate through the many struggles of living with chronic illness. This isn’t only about bringing together those who suffer from these illnesses, but also bringing together their families and friends.

This space was created to say the things we don’t always feel we can say out loud, whether it’s because we’re afraid, ashamed, embarrassed, or just too exhausted! You don’t need permission to feel. You don’t need to sugarcoat your emotions. Here you’re visible, you’re validated, and you’re not alone!

One of the hardest parts of any chronic illness, and having invisible symptoms, is that others don’t realize the seriousness of it because they don’t know what it is. It’s easy to dismiss or minimize what another is going through when you don’t have the knowledge to understand. We’re here to bring awareness and educate others on how debilitating chronic illnesses can be.

I believe everybody needs space to breathe. Chronic illness is more than just a diagnosis. It changes your body, your emotions, your relationships, and ultimately your identity. When someone tells you it’s all in your head – know that it’s not. This is REAL.

Raw — We speak openly & honestly about the impact chronic illness has on our lives.

Emotions — We make room for feelings without minimizing or masking them.

Awareness — We educate so that invisible illness is no longer invisible.

Latitude — We create space to navigate this together.
