Really Tired But Making Sure To Stay Awake Until The Point Of Exhaustion So I Hopefully Actually Fall

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

any tips for what helps with insomnia?

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????

sometimes i forget you can actually just pass out from pain

my body just said "nope"

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

Being chronically ill and a “normal” illness on top of it (cold, flu etc etc) SUCKS

I see you

It sucks and it’s twice as painful and you’re twice as nauseous and can’t keep anything down and have less than the zero energy you had before

I see you I’m sorry it sucks and I’m right here with you

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 :)

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

naptime does become mandatory again when you're chronically ill

feeling hungover and drunk at the same time eventhough i didn't drink and am actually just chronically ill
