Everything That Could Hurt... Hurts...

i miss travelling without basically taking a mini pharmacy with me

[cheerfully] i've been in self-made hells worse than this

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

i think younger me would be disappointed, but current me is just grateful for the opportunities i have

i feel like i only really developed something similar to health anxiety after a chronic illness...

because what if this is just a new thing now?

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

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"

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

i ate a dry piece of bread... nothing else... my stomach feels like someone is stabbing me

"just listen to your body"

hate to break it to you, but if i would do that i wouldn't even get out of bed
