if you’re starting a sentence with “as a white person” “as a cis person” “as someone who’s skinny” etc etc that is your sign to stop ✋ and consider if what you’re about to say is actually that important, or if you’re just expressing your penitence to the exact group of people who would really rather not hear you talk about how guilty you feel. like maybe just think for a couple seconds about why you feel like you have to finish that sentence

Reached the point of chronic illness where im becoming excessively bitter whenever i see people around me being capable and living without pain, saw 2 people walking a dog outside my window and had to take a breather 😭

locking in won't save you. self-discipline won't save you. you're trying to tidy up a house built on a fault line whose shifting is beyond your control. you know this already.
choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty
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
