Dream Building & ME

Hello and welcome to Believe in ME with Rhona Barton.  In this week’s episode I’m going to be chatting to you about Dream Building.

What do I mean by Dream Building?  Well, for me this was something to do from my bed when I couldn’t do any other activities.  I spent a lot of time inside my own head dream building & day dreaming.  It was the one place I could go and have whatever adventure I wanted!

What do you do with yourself in between activities or visits?  Other than resting that is.  Finding things to pass the time can be quite challenging.  The limited concentration span I had and the pain I would experience from the smallest activity, really limited what I could do.


I didn’t want to be working shifts again and I’d been told that shift work wouldn’t be good for my health so I had to start thinking about what I would do when I was able.  I had considered working in banking but that didn’t fill me with enthusiasm.  I had thought about going back to college to retrain as something else, but my concentration levels weren’t up for that and, I didn’t know how I would be able to afford to do any further training. 



I did like the idea of trying something new however and I love reading.  This led to me skimming through a brochure for my local college.  I came across something that I thought would interest me.  It was an attendance class so if I had times when I couldn’t attend, it wouldn’t impact any form of qualification.  I had found an evening class!

About the Podcast

Believe in ME with Rhona Barton
This podcast is all about ME. Each week I’ll bring you short manageable episodes that cover things from living with ME, understanding it, explaining it to others and learning how to love your life with it.

As somebody who lived with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) for almost 10 years, I’m passionate about offering hope and inspiration to others who are experiencing ME. I was bed-bound and wheelchair-bound with ME before finding my feet again and coming through the other side so believe me when I say, I understand what you’re going through.

If you are a woman living with ME, or you have recently been diagnosed with ME, then I’m here for you! I’ve been there, done that and I’ve not only got the t-shirt but I’ve worn holes in it too through all my trial and error!

So why don’t you join me? You can subscribe now to receive notifications of each episode and Season 1 launches on 16th May 2022 to round off ME Awareness Week.
