Being Told You Look Like Shit Is Weirdly Validating. Like At First It’s A Bit Hurtful But Then I’m

having a low symptoms day and then suddenly the chronic pain strikes once again

please if you're sick stay at home if possible or at least wear a mask!

... even if it's just a cold some people don't have the best immune system and i am tired of being sick on top of my chronic illness every other week

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)

how to ask your doctor for stronger pain meds without basically being called a drug addict

everything that could hurt... hurts...

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

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"

grateful for everything my life is besides the illness

grateful for everyone i get to have close to my heart

grateful for everything i get to experience

i refuse to let being sick stop me from being grateful for the rest

chronic pain and final exams at the same time isn't fun

should just start whacking peoples shins with my cane if they stare at me
