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.)
healthy people will never understand the amount of joy i feel when i come home dreading having to feed myself to then realize i still got leftovers
would love to make friends with some other chronically ill people!
some stuff about me:
i'm 19 and diagnosed with dysautonomia. i also got some chronic back pain and other stuff i'm trying to get checked out
feel free to message me if you aren't some creep :)
playing a fun game of anxiety or new chronic illness symptom
love the random wave of nausea that hits me multiple times a day /s
"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
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
fighting the occasional urge to scream, because being chronically ill feels unfair and it really is all too much sometimes
having to wait a long time for a doctors appointment sucks, because until i got proof i am not getting any accomodations from my school and it's affecting my health even more
sometimes i forget you can actually just pass out from pain
my body just said "nope"
just bonded with someone over the fact that both of our bodies seem to hate us
