I'm "chronically ill" but am I chronically ill or am I just making unhealthy choices and calling the consequences illness? Analyze my health issues: what diagnosis? What cause? What treatment? Then reality-check: chronic illness is medical condition; health consequences are results of choices. Map my "chronic illness" and expose: is this something happening to me or something I'm creating through lifestyle? Show me where illness is legitimate vs. where I'm medicalizing predictable results of poor health habits. Include: what I'm calling chronic illness that's actually just consequences of my choices, whether I need treatment or behavior change, and if I'm ill or just unhealthy.
