Does your chronic illness affect your loved ones too?

In today's episode of @bendy_bodies, Dr. Shimi Kang (@
drshimikang) shares how living with chronic pain and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) kept her amygdala in overdrive, constantly switching her between freeze, flight, and fight mode.

This stress response took a toll not just on her body, but on the people around her.

Question for you: Have you noticed yourself in a persistent state of fight, flight, or freeze? How has that impacted your relationships?
