Bipolar Is Truly The Everything Illness. Right Now I Just Have Symptoms. Idk Of What Specifically This

something that genuinely annoys me as a chronically ill person is getting constantly asked only about my health. how are you? how are you dealing with it mentally? im the same as always. this is my normal. i don't want to be constantly asked about it. cant you be interested in something else about me. not my health. ask me about what I've been doing. what am i listening to. any fun dreams ive had. it gets really depressing very fast when every single interaction with others ends up starting with your chronic illnesses.

like i know it feels fucking different to you and you with your perfect health can't even imagine how someone is living like this. but this is my life. this is my normal. and id like to get treated like im more than just my illness

the thing that drives me crazy about fibromyalgia is trying to explain it to people. yes i am in pain all the time. no i didn't do anything to get hurt. no it will almost definitely never go away entirely. no i don't know what caused it.

"so you're just going to be on pills your whole life" if the pills keep working, yeah, probably! i don't like being in pain!

this mood disorder is indeed disordering my mood

they should make a version of grad school that doesn’t exacerbate your mental illness(es)

I'm getting real tired of ppl telling me that my fibromyalgia is fake <3

im just built different (unstable)

At one of those commonly-occurring-multiple-times-daily-in-a-chronically-ill-person’s-life points of “I’m sick of being sick”.

I can't figure out if I'm genderqueer or nonbinary y'all 😭

Sameeeeeee

have to switch meds AGAIN ugh I couldn't handle going to sleep at 10:30 on this latuda, I'm convinced this medication is actually a tranquilizer like y am I so tired
