being chronically ill it's so difficult to not dismiss healthy people struggleing with a short time illness
like "i'm sorry you got a cough, i have to make big adjustments to my everyday life to not regularly faint" is not the answer i wanna give others
saying "oh you're tired cause you stayed up on tiktok for too long? i didn't sleep at all cause of how much pain i was in" isn't empathetic
it's just hard not to compare my suffering to others seemingly minor issues
i always need to remind myself that this isn't minor to them, no matter how i might feel about it... i refuse to loose my empathy in addition to everything else i have to limit
wanted to go to london to see a festival with some friends and i realized i would need to get an accessible ticket to go...
it feels odd to actually depend on accessibility
rain is annoying because i don't have the strength to use both a cane and an umbrella...
love leaving the house thinking it's just a few drops of rain and then basically taking a literal shower
SAY IT WITH ME: MEDICAL GASLIGHTING IS MALPRACTICE
naptime does become mandatory again when you're chronically ill
i would love a no symptoms day
"Why do I feel sick" my brother in christ you have a chronic illness
"just listen to your body"
hate to break it to you, but if i would do that i wouldn't even get out of bed
had to cancel so many plans with my friends recently...
do they seem mad? -nope
did they say that they are mad? -nope
do i still think that they are mad? -absolutely
can't completely stand upright rn, but i'm still gonna try to function tomorrow (we'll see how that goes)
perhaps i am simply a delicate spoiled houseplant but i don’t think having a fun productive day should give you multi-day hangovers
