having insomnia when having a chronic illness sucks!
my chronic illness flares up cause i don't get enough sleep, but i don't get enough sleep cause of my chronic illness
this is why i always have headphones in
"it's not polite" well neither is my pain so fuck off
"Stop looking at your phone"
No. I need a constant distraction from the pain I am in. I promise you, you'd rather see me play solitaire on my phone for 45 mins than deal with me while being fully aware of my body. I PROMISE YOU I am listening better if i'm fiddling on my phone than if I'm sitting and being aware of my agony.
Also to everyone who has ever called me an iPad kid, die in a hole.
i think younger me would be disappointed, but current me is just grateful for the opportunities i have
sometimes i forget you can actually just pass out from pain
my body just said "nope"
i hate when i, a completely healthy person (very chronically ill), get sick (flare up) for no reason at all (i exerted myself way past my limit just cuz i didn’t wanna be “annoying”)
i'm tired of being scared of how i feel
i really respect people that say "oh i wouldn't wish this on anyone else" about their chronic illness because I WOULD
(unfortunately i might have become a little bitter, but i'm working on it)
watching other people just live their life doing things you don't know if you'll ever be able to again...
shout out to everyone who doesn't have a chronic illness!
How does it it feel to not be terrified of having to stand for longer than a couple minutes?
normal people sick in addition to chronic illness really sucks...
everyone that has a chronic illness already shouldn't get sick in addition to that
Mobility aids and other disability tools are really hot
If I see you in public using something that's helping you to get around or feel better then just know I'm thinking you're hot
