Why Is Chronic Illness So Difficult To Understand For Healthy People?

i'd love some audiobook recommendations, thank you!

i'm mostly trying to not spend the whole day even if it means just sitting on the couch instead when i'm not feeling well. otherwise i always felt like i wouldn't get tired in bed at all.

any tips for what helps with insomnia?

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

not being able to sleep due to pain sucks, because sleep is the one time i am not in pain

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

me: oh! i think i feel ok today!

me: [sits up]

me: oh. never mind

i'm tired of being scared of how i feel

i explained to my teacher today that my medical condition won't just go away, there is no cure... he said that it can't be true, because he can't believe that all you're being told is "you just gotta live with it"

he also said i shouldn't choose my carreer path depending on how doable it would be with my illnees, but this is my reality... i need to consider things like that

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?

really tired but making sure to stay awake until the point of exhaustion so i hopefully actually fall asleep

it should be illegal to take a nap and still have a headache when you wake up. like no i shut it off and back on again why are you still here
