Living with long-term conditions means dealing with a lot that others can’t see

Uncertainty about what your condition means for the future

Pacing yourself through good days and harder ones

Feeling that others don’t see how much you manage

Not wanting to be a burden on the people around you

Grieving for the person you were before your diagnosis

These experiences are common across long-term conditions, and they deserve support.

Hear it from Orbi Users

“The Orbi app is a game changer. We’ve never had anything like this at all. I was using it every day, and I loved the meditations and the stories because I could actually relate to them and try the strategies myself — and they worked.”
