[cheerfully] I've Been In Self-made Hells Worse Than This

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?

how to ask your doctor for stronger pain meds without basically being called a drug addict

despite going to the doctor way too often there are still so many things wrong that i don't even know where to start

(the list of things i should probably get checked is loooong)

i once asked a teacher to leave the room cause i was feeling like i was about to pass out so i wanted to lay down, he said yes, but after class came up to me telling me i should see a therapist because this seems like a serious mental problem.

SIR i am chronically ill...

i told him this is a physical condition and he said he doesn't believe me and doesn't wanna hear excuses

can I have one *points at you*

chronic pain and final exams at the same time isn't fun

people that adapt to your chronic illness,

people that give you a ride and pick you up places without making you feel guilty

people that go to the ER with you

people that make sure to walk slowly so you can keep up while using a mobility aid

people that are willing to try different things to help you

people that are willing to learn and listen to you when speaking about your chronic illness

i'm in too much pain to sleep and i have to get up in a few hours cause it's a busy day

i am lucky if i get to close my eyes for a few minutes and it sucks

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

i need to lay in bed for a week to make up for one day i overdid it
