“Chronic illness changes all of your relationships…
but the relationship impacted most of all is the one with yourself. This journal offers the user a judgement-free space to explore what it means to live in an unpredictable and misunderstood body.”
-Tessa Miller, author of What Doesn’t Kill You:
A Life with Chronic Illness—Lessons from a Body in Revolt
Testimonials"Living with a chronic illness does not come with a guidebook, but now thanks to Jenneh Rishe there is one. The author, who has candidly shared her struggles and triumphs with her social media followers, has crafted the perfect balance of a how-to book tempered with inspirational messages to help the reader throughout their personal journey. As someone with endometriosis, I would recommend this book to anyone with chronic illness as well as their loved ones."

Chronic illness changes all of your relationships, but the one impacted most of all is your relationship with yourself. This journal, compassionately guided by someone who intimately knows the ins and outs of forever sickness, gives chronically ill and disabled people the opportunity to write about their fears, hopes, grief, and joy. Most importantly, it offers its user judgment-free space to explore what it means to live in an unpredictable and misunderstood body.

“When I first transitioned from practitioner to patient and found myself suddenly thrown into a whole new chronic illness world that I knew absolutely nothing about, I found that there were no resources to help navigate the psychological/psychosocial aspects of life with a chronic illness. Every book on the market was focused on symptom and medication tracking or how to medically manage my disease. But what about all of the other things that come along with chronic illness? I was searching for something that helped me work through aspects such as relationships, friendships, identity, and self-worth. I couldn’t find one, so, I decided to create one myself. Part of You Not All of You is a collection of words of affirmation, short stories of my own and words of encouragement from me, words of inspiration from others living with chronic illness, and guided journal prompts to help the reader process their life with chronic illness, and arrive at a place where they accept that their illness may be a part of their identity, but not all of their identity.”
