I Really Respect People That Say "oh I Wouldn't Wish This On Anyone Else" About Their Chronic Illness

started doing physical therapy again and my chronic pain got worse... really debating just quitting rn

everytime i am out of a flare i convince myself i am usually dramatic and this won't impact my life in any significant way in the future... then the next flare is coming up and changes my mind real quick

had a low fever for almost a week now, but am refusing to see a doctor cause "not like they would do much"

and that's on doctors constantly dismissing people with chronic illness

any tips for what helps with insomnia?

i think i keep forgetting my chronic illness won't just stop once i graduate... like i'll actually have to live with it in the future and i have to work with it

i've always seen my graduation as the final goal before having the freedom to decide what i want my life to look like and now that is being taken from me

i always forget... i guess despite all i am still secretely waiting for a magical cure

someone told me that they would end themselves if they had even half of my health issues... idk what to do with that information...

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”)

"you complain a lot" when i haven't even told them half my symptoms and mentioned not feeling well two days in a row

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 :)

gonna start answering "i hope you get better" with "thanks, i probably won't"

like i hope so too it's just not realistic rn
