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
my back pain is so bad today idk how i'm supposed to do things or even sleep!
i'm already doing physio therapy so idk what else to do about it at this point
the urge the give my dnd character a chronic illness cause i want representation
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????
overdid it today... will suffer the consequences later
Whoever decided to force chronically ill/physically disabled kids to do p.e should be hunted for sport
doctors will give me a test and go “well obviously we hope it’s not that” and I’m sitting there like bitch I have been through so many tests so many doctors so many specialist I have been in the ER more times than I can count I almost do hope it is that because then at least I know what’s fucking wrong with me instead of walking into the ER with my issues and being told it’s anxiety even though I know it’s not
i once asked a teacher to leave the room cause i was feeling like i was about to pass out so i wanted to lay down, he said yes, but after class came up to me telling me i should see a therapist because this seems like a serious mental problem.
SIR i am chronically ill...
i told him this is a physical condition and he said he doesn't believe me and doesn't wanna hear excuses
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"
i need people to understand that when i say i can't do something it means that i can't do something, it is not up for discussion
being chronically ill it's so difficult to not dismiss healthy people struggleing with a short time illness
like "i'm sorry you got a cough, i have to make big adjustments to my everyday life to not regularly faint" is not the answer i wanna give others
saying "oh you're tired cause you stayed up on tiktok for too long? i didn't sleep at all cause of how much pain i was in" isn't empathetic
it's just hard not to compare my suffering to others seemingly minor issues
i always need to remind myself that this isn't minor to them, no matter how i might feel about it... i refuse to loose my empathy in addition to everything else i have to limit
