teaching people that were curiously asking about my cane how to walk with it because i refuse to make mobility aids a topic that isn't spoken about
[cheerfully] i've been in self-made hells worse than this
cluster headaches SUCK
i'm just existing and my head is all like *ouch* *ouch* *ouch*
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
hypothetically in how much pain would i have to be in order for it to be okay to tell people to fuck off? because i am close
i'm in too much pain to sleep and i have to get up in a few hours cause it's a busy day
i am lucky if i get to close my eyes for a few minutes and it sucks
navigating doctors visits and applying for university in the same week while going to school should be a valid answer if asked what exercises i do
thinking about the time i fainted and after managing to get up with my friends help i walked up to my gym teacher telling him i gotta sit down and he refused to let me because "sitting down will make you feel worse"
SIR i have a chronic illness and was just laying face down in the gass...
but he obviously didn't notice cause he was too busy yelling at me for being late
(he knows too, it's not like he's unaware of me having health issues)
naptime does become mandatory again when you're chronically ill
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
everytime i feel something even just mildly wrong with my body for more than a few minutes i immediately panic thinking that this might be a new chronic symptom...
which sucks, because that makes my heart rate go up with then causes even more of my regular symptoms
how do i get rid of this anxiety about new symptoms?
