beyond the surface ; invisible illness collection

I know what it’s like to be dismissed by doctors, to be told by friends and family that it’s “all in my head”… and to hear over and over again that I just need to exercise more & that my symptoms will go away. 

Hi, I’m Jayden. I’ve been navigating a mystery/invisible illness since August 2024, and it has been a long, exhausting road, passed from specialist to specialist, undergoing test after test, only to be dismissed time and time again.

That’s why I’ve become a firm believer in advocating for ourselves. Because if we don’t speak up, nothing in the medical field will ever change.

Heather and I partnered on this collection to spread awareness for invisible illnesses. To remind people that just because you can’t see an illness, doesn’t make it any less real. Everyone deserves to be heard, validated, and believed. Period.
