Things People Who Have Asthma Wish You Knew
If this is part of your life story, please share your insights! What would you like the rest of us to learn? What should we know about people in this community? How would you like people to interact with you? Should people ask questions? What’s the best way for people to learn about this? Do you have any resources (books, movies, YT videos, etc) that will give us greater understanding and empathy and kindness toward people who experience the same things you do?
If you’re not on this journey, we welcome you to listen, learn, and ask respectful, good-faith questions! Open-ended questions are highly encouraged, as they give people the space to share their unique experiences in their own words. While this is a safe space to learn about things you’ve never experienced, please remember to be sensitive, and avoid sharing harmful stereotypes or debating someone's lived reality. If you have a question, ask it with empathy. If someone gently corrects you, please be open to learning. Let's have a gentle, fun, friendly conversation where we support one another, because it takes all sorts to make a world!

My sis has asthma, and she often uses inhaler.. and sometimes it feels very uneasy/ anxious when there's no inhaler in sight :(
Also, my family always has told her not to tell others about her condition cus of judgement and all. I'm looking forward to learn more about it 🤍
Why would people judge her for having asthma?
@jesusredeemedme2425 Idk they say so.. and at times some relatives have actually made bad comments about it. Spreading rumours... there's lack of awareness here I guess, especially amount older ppl.
My parents hav always told her not to tell anyone, especially relatives so they don't get a reason to pick on her.
@fossilfellow That's absolutely horrible for her to be told not to disclose it. There's nothing wrong with her nor should she feel judged or shame. Whoever is judging someone for having asthma is... well, I'll just say that is horrible. I hope your sister is ok. ❤️ Please give her a big ol' hug! 🤗
