About
đź‘‹ Hello!
Hi. My name is Alice. This blog is a space to share hope, paths to explore, and a positive story about chronic illness.
In my journey, I’ve been through difficult times. Physical and mental struggles of course, but also extreme isolation and uncertainty. Yet, along the way, I found comfort and connection through conversations with people all over the world, thanks to this magical tool we call the Internet.
Today, I’m doing better, and I want to give back a little of what I’ve received. 🖤
🌱 My values
I’m not a doctor or a scientist. Everything I share here comes from my personal experience with Long Covid and ME/CFS, and from what has helped me along the way. These illnesses are complex, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. I certainly don't claim to have a miracle solution.
This blog should not be considered medical advice. Please always consult your healthcare provider for making decisions about your health, and listen to your body.
I believe in science, medicine, and research. We must actively support research into treatments for Long Covid and ME/CFS. But I also believe every healing path is valid. Whether your progress comes from biomedical treatments, mind-body approaches, or a mix of both, that’s amazing.
I want this blog to be accessible. I create and design this blog for readers who live with fatigue and/or cognitive symptoms. Every post is made to be simple, easy to read, with written and audio versions.
My content is free and will remain free.
I am not selling anything and I’m not affiliated with anyone.
I will not promote any specific paid programs or coaches.
If I recommend resources, they are either free online, available at low cost (like books), or coming from doctors.
I write and publish this blog on my own, in my spare time.
🤗 Why is this blog called Hello Self ?
During my recovery journey, I met myself for the first time. My true self, the one that was hidden under layers of anxiety, fear and guilt for years.
It feels amazing, but it's also quite intimidating. I'm happy to share all of this with you. So... hello, Self!
