I Always Feel Bad Thinking I Would Prefer Having A Weelchair Some Days

one good thing about being chronically ill that i learned about this week is when you need to drive your friend to the hospital for drinking too much alcohol you know your way around and exactly where to go

would love to make friends with some other chronically ill people!

some stuff about me:

i'm 19 and diagnosed with dysautonomia. i also got some chronic back pain and other stuff i'm trying to get checked out

feel free to message me if you aren't some creep :)

the urge the give my dnd character a chronic illness cause i want representation

Dysautonomia is so wild.

You'll just be vibing and chilling, and your nervous system will go, "Hey, can't help but notice you ate a little more food than usual; we're gonna have to shut everything else down and direct all the blood in your body to your stomach," and suddenly you're lying on the floor with your legs elevated and a heart rate of 140 because your body doesn't body so good.

fighting the occasional urge to scream, because being chronically ill feels unfair and it really is all too much sometimes

being told you look like shit is weirdly validating. like at first it’s a bit hurtful but then i’m like…you can see it??? YOU CAN SEE IT????

i think younger me would be disappointed, but current me is just grateful for the opportunities i have

i ate a dry piece of bread... nothing else... my stomach feels like someone is stabbing me

having insomnia when having a chronic illness sucks!

my chronic illness flares up cause i don't get enough sleep, but i don't get enough sleep cause of my chronic illness

Chronic illness be like: now our right knee is hurting

Me: ok. Is this a new accessory or should I get it checked out?

Chronic ilness: I don't know sis, sounds like a you problem tbh...
