Why Tf Do People Think I Am Joking When I Say I Am Chronically Ill And Then Continue Making Fun Of It

me with the trip i wanted to go on

Chronic illness/disability culture is: overdoing it getting ready for an event to the point you can’t even enjoy the event (or possibly might not even make it at all.)

playing a fun game of anxiety or new chronic illness symptom

making jokes about being chronically ill with my friends, because somehow things are a little less heavy when you laugh about it

i would like to cancel my chronic illness prescribtion... i need to get things done

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

when i am really fatigued i always say "i feel like i'n melting"

because that's what my muscles feel like and for some reason people seem to get that this at least isn't good instead of responding with the usual "i am tired too"

there are things i need to do, but i can't cause i'm sick

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

made the typical joke about "being allergic to gravity" today and i got an understanding nod instead of a "wtf"... now i'm the one that's confused

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
