Hi friends! I thought it would be fun to make a gift guide with gift ideas for people with chronic illnesses/any sort of anxiety (especially with Christmas coming up). As someone who lives with chronic illnesses, I believe this would be an ideal place for others to visit. People appreciate it when you make an additional effort to ensure their comfort.
