I think if she pulled me into a bathroom, pressed me against the wall and started kissing me it’d fix all my problems actually
this too shall pass but that doesn’t make it suck any less right now

Me: why the fuck do I need to always fucking rest I wanna get up and do things
Also me: *stands up* oh fuck that's why I was resting
Still me: *does a task I used to think of as easy and low impact* *gets wiped out for the next 5 hours*
Me 3 hours later: why the fuck do I need to always rest I wanna get up
why did god have to give me the Post-Covid Mystery Illness. there’s so many illnesses we actually know about. but no i just Had to get the one that literally did not exist until 5 years ago
In a similar way to how I wish people without chronic pain and fatigue understood that staying in bed all the time isn't fun, I wish they understood that getting takeout all the time isn't fun either. I would LOVE to be eating home cooked meals but I just can't most of the time so fast food it is because I can't afford anything better with disability benefits. The novelty of bed and takeaway wears off Real Fast when it's your only option.
shoutout to the really anxious people who face the world every day even though it makes their whole bodies freak out
Dance as an act of rebellion. Dance as an act of joy.
having insomnia when having a chronic illness sucks!

“how do you get stuff done?” with tears in my eyes.
*writing in my diary using a glitter gel pen* I'm losing my sense of humanity

happy easter ive suffered more than jesus
Able bodied people seem to be under the assumption that if they do everything right that they’re immune to developing a chronic condition
That’s not how it works.
I can’t count the amount of times I’ve tried to explain to people that their health isn’t a sure thing, one day you can wake up sick and just never get better….
googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.
they should invent activities for sleepy people with no energy
they should invent a job that doesn’t kill your will to live
being autistic and traumatized is realizing that people appreciate when you say hi or bye when entering or leaving a space and having to adjust your mannerisms to be more friendly
chronic pain diagnoses are all like yeah we don't know what this is or why it happens. we also don't know how to treat it. good luck out there soldier
“you should be at the club” Brother I should literally be sent to the seaside for my health
I'm not a hater but so much shit is stupid
