Share Your Story - Spoonie Spotlight

What is Spo onie Spotlight?  Spoonie Spotlight is a project ran by @youngpeople_chronicillnesses on Instagram. Our goal is to help shed some light on the stories of people living with chronic, invisible, physical, mental, terminal illnesses and disabilities. These topics are largely misunderstood and we want to help educate others, offer support and give people the chance to find answers. We have posted over 200 stories so far and receive around 5 stories a day, we try to post 2 a day and edit a few a week. As you can imagine that's a lot for our editors to handle so we take our time! Sharing stories is so powerful because it let's people know that they are NOT alone.    Here's how you or anyone you know can share their story. You're welcome to send your story whenever, this project is ongoing so there is no rush! Email it  youngpeople.chronicillnesses@gmail.com. Send us a photo of yourself or something medical related in your life. Include your Instagram name
