Just two chronically ill teens and their blog. Don't be afraid to ask us anything or just chat <3

So I was actually social for once in my life

Naturally I had to follow it up with a 5 hour nap

Friend: what happened to you was fucked up

Me, already tearing up at being validated: yeah?

You wanna come over and just go to sleep?

somebody: don’t worry it will go away

Just because someone with your illness has a job, goes to school, or can do things you generally cant, does not mean youre faking it.

Dont compare yourself or your illness to them, every illness affects every person differently.

Youre doing the best you can, remember that.

Shout out to anyone confined to their bed right now, you aren’t pathetic or lazy or anything else you’re thinking.

[abusedsapphics-archive]

try to actively stop yourself from thinking of food in terms of moral value. like, sure, eat your vegetables, but having a slice of chocolate cake doesn’t make you irresponsible, lazy, undisciplined, or a bad person, in any way; this mindset we absorbed from all around us is toxic and dangerous and you’ll be happier if you fight against it.

friendly reminder that life with a chronic illness is really, really hard and can cause even the most trivial of tasks to become gargantuan. you’re not imagining it. never let anyone tell you otherwise

[chronically-ill-club]

I just wanted to tell you how much I love that you are open about your illnesses and running this blog together. It's amazing that you have found each other and now you can make chronically ill teens feel less alone! I wish I had that when I was a teen! Also, I'm always in love with girl friendships bc they are the best! Lots of love and even more spoons! ♥🌱🌈

Thank you so much!! We’re super glad you like our blog!! Unfortunately Nina and I haven’t been active lately on the blog cause we’ve just been too busy, so we apologize if we are answering this really late! We appreciate your ask! Love and plenty of spoons to you too!!♥️🥄

okay we call ourselves the suffer squad because we are all in chronic pain and generally suffering…but imagine the possibilities 

like an actual club called the Suffer Den or something else ominous that everyone thinks is a bdsm club but really inside is filled with beds and cushions and lounge chairs with TV’s everywhere playing netflix for tired spoonies that want to hang out but can’t sit anywhere else long enough. Wedges of all shapes and sizes would be stashed in every corner. It would have a pharmacy in the back and a doctor that is always on call who loves to talk about the new pain management advancements that he’s been reading about. Maybe a snack bar to one side that caters to special diet restrictions. And quiet spaces for people who need or want them.

I don’t know, I just really like the idea of us all hanging out in one room.

Indications that you should offer me medical advice: -You are my doctor -I asked you for medical advice

Indications that you should leave me the fuck alone: -Literally anything else
