One of our own, Patrick Lynch, is doing his part to make sure the world outside of our community gets familiar with what it is like to live with a bleeding disorder. The platform is called The Mighty and it is an excellent site to hear about other's mental health journeys. Once you sign up with The Mighty (which is free), you can check the boxes indicating which group you would like to hear about. There is a group on living with a chronic condition, living with chronic pain and many others. A great deal of healing comes from simply knowing you are not alone and being open to the support of like-minded people. Thank you Patrick for making this connection!
