She was forced to drop out of school and was bedbound for six years. Her condition worsened to the point that even small exposures to light, sound, or touch would cause severe crashes. As her symptoms started to improve, she started documenting her life on TikTok, with videos of her 'firsts' reaching millions of people around the world. Lily sits down with Abbie to talk about the reality of living with ME, what helped her get through her darkest days, and why she doesn't subscribe to the 'gratitude' narrative.LINKSFollow Lily on TikTok @lilygschubertFollow Lily on Instagram @lilygschubertLily's website http://lilyschubert.com/Read Lily's Substack https://substack.com/@lilyschubertSee Abbie on tour https://linktr.ee/abbiechatfieldlovesmenSend us your thoughts, topic suggestions, NMFs and more: https://forms.gle/S5Pf327SmVnnC8CE9Check out @itsalotpod on IG at https://bit.ly/itsalot-instagram.Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts https://bit.ly/ial-reviewCREDITSHost: Abbie Chatfield @abbiechatfieldGuest: Lily Schubert @lilygschubertExecutive Producer and Editor: Amy Kimball @amy.kimballIt's A Lot Social Media Manager: Julia ToomeySocial Media and Marketing Strategist: Elizabeth Baxter
