Izzy
Available todayAs a daughter of a narcissistic mother and someone who has endured religious trauma, I want you to know this first: you are not alone. I was born and raised in Pakistan and have navigated my own journey through anxiety, CPTSD, depression, and dyslexia. For a long time, I carried guilt, confusion, and the quiet feeling of never being fully seen. Therapy was a meaningful and supportive part of my healing, and I’m grateful for the clarity it provided. Over time, I also began attending peer support groups, where I experienced something deeply transformative, being witnessed by others who showed up vulnerably and met me as an equal. That sense of shared humanity shifted my healing in profound ways. I originally trained and worked as a medical doctor, but I came to understand that my heart was in creating spaces centered on connection, presence, and lived experience.

Understanding long covid
Long Covid can linger long after the virus is gone, bringing fatigue, breathlessness, aches, and cognitive hiccups that defy the “you should be fine by now” narrative. Dismissal or disbelief from friends, family, or even doctors can make sufferers feel isolated and frustrated. In peer support sessions, you’ll find people navigating similar setbacks — from managing energy crashes to pacing daily activities. Swapping real-world strategies (like gentle exercise increments or journaling) and simply hearing “I get it” can validate your journey, offering hope that recovery, however slow, needn’t be a solo battle.
