Just Because It’s “to Be Expected” Doesn’t Mean You’re Not Allowed To Be Upset About It.

Being chronically ill and a “normal” illness on top of it (cold, flu etc etc) SUCKS

I see you

It sucks and it’s twice as painful and you’re twice as nauseous and can’t keep anything down and have less than the zero energy you had before

I see you I’m sorry it sucks and I’m right here with you

"you complain a lot" when i haven't even told them half my symptoms and mentioned not feeling well two days in a row

can I have one *points at you*

how are you supposed to tell people who you recently became friends with that you sometimes need to use a mobility aid?

is there even a way to make it not awkward? because it shouldn't be awkward

Mobility aids and other disability tools are really hot

If I see you in public using something that's helping you to get around or feel better then just know I'm thinking you're hot

just bonded with someone over the fact that both of our bodies seem to hate us

barely having symptoms for a few days made me think i was cured... turns out that isn't the case

everytime i am out of a flare i convince myself i am usually dramatic and this won't impact my life in any significant way in the future... then the next flare is coming up and changes my mind real quick

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

someone told me that they would end themselves if they had even half of my health issues... idk what to do with that information...
