i think the thing that’s most frustrating about chronic fatigue for me is when the fatigue is so bad that you can’t even think or focus.
my pain is so bad i can’t physically do almost anything right now (even just laying in bed is exhausting) and the brain fog from my fatigue is so bad that i can’t even listen to an audiobook or podcast to make the laying down less boring.
time to just fucking stare at my ceiling all day i guess

do able-bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?
like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?

me: I'm done grieving, I already accepted my illness and all it brings with it, it's totally ok
also me on a random tuesday: my life is never going back to what it was, I'm never going to be able to do the things I loved the most the same, it's over and I gotta learn to live with that but it's kinda impossible because I'm so young and I had so many dreams and so many things I wanted to do that I can't anymore, at least not without all this pain and suffering

Just found out a family member has been telling people I use my cane because I want to look like House. And no other reason. I’ve literally fainted at their home before and had a nasty fall in their kitchen. Why is it so hard to believe I need a cane?

the indescribable grief of watching your health deteriorate in front of you and not being able to do anything about it

Just saw a vid of a woman saying how being chronically ill means slowly going insane but being forced to pretend you’re not and I feel that pretty hard.
Anyone that goes to war with their body and will never be the same emotionally, I see you and you’re not alone 💕

Comparing me to someone you distantly know to be disabled isn’t really helping me. Sorry about that.😭
