I made a little card for my therapist who's been supporting me through 8 years of #Chronicillness grief.
Apparently I am my own worst critic.
Is it perfect, no. Is it made with love & gratitude, yes.

Keen to discover others making creativity, art, photos, illustrations, graphics about ME/CFS.

Perhaps we can all us #MECFSart as a hashtag to follow each other. I'll include some links to others below, and perhaps we can get a mini thread going?
