What happens when your mind is full of dreams, but your body can no longer keep up?
In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, Sophie @cep_soph, a 30-year-old NHS Clinical Exercise Physiologist, writes to the body she once knew. Living with Crohn’s disease, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), gastroparesis and other chronic health conditions, Sophie knows what it means to grieve a life that changed without permission.
This letter explores the hidden grief of chronic illness: losing your independence, questioning your identity, carrying guilt for needing help, and learning to live in a body that no longer moves at the pace your heart still longs for.
Whether you’re living with an invisible illness, chronic pain, disability, chronic fatigue, or you’re supporting someone who is, Sophie’s words are a reminder that strength isn’t always found in pushing through. Sometimes it’s found in resting, adapting and showing yourself compassion.
Thank you so much Sophie, for such an honest and moving letter.
