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
"omg do you have a hangover?"
nope, just a chronic illness
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
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????
Whoever decided to force chronically ill/physically disabled kids to do p.e should be hunted for sport
casually having a low symptom day the day of a doctors appointment
recovering from a simple cold really takes incredibly long when you have a chronic illness...
like please i wanna be able to do at least some things again
some guy invited me to go clubbing with him and his friends... i tell him i would go, even though it's not something i usually do, but i couldn't drink because of the medication i'm taking/health issues
he looked at me and just went "oh maybe some other time then"
and my question is why? WHY am i required to drink to hang out with people? and if that's just a rule then there won't be some other time, because i got a chronic illness and not just a cold
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
why is chronic illness so difficult to understand for healthy people?
like "yes, i am ill everyday"
"no, i will not be getting better soon"
naptime does become mandatory again when you're chronically ill
