reblog this post if you're under 25 and suffering from a chronic illness

I want to see how many of us there are

What saying 'everyone gets tired' really sounds like

Saying it is as ridiculous as saying any of the following:

To someone who’s been in a fire, ‘everyone feels a little hot sometimes’, or ‘everyone feels like they have smoke in their lungs.’

To someone who’s giving birth, ‘we all feel like we’re in immense pain, I mean remember that time I stubbed my toe?’

To someone who’s blind, ‘you know, when I close my eyes I can’t see either, so I know exactly how you feel.’

To someone who has cancer, 'we all feel as though are cells let us down, I mean I catch every cold that comes around, that must have to do with my DNA right?’

To someone who’s been in a serious accident and is losing a lot of blood, 'I know how you feel, I had a nose bleed yesterday.'

To someone with hypothermia, 'our heating wasn’t working yesterday, I know how cold you must be.’

Tired is an understatement, so no, you don’t know how we feel, saying 'everyone gets tired too’ doesn’t make us feel better, you don’t understand how tired we are, so don’t try to tell us that you know how we feel, because you don’t, my tired and your tired are not the same thing.

They should probably test for this for the initial few batches of Mars colonists. The less adjustment needed, the better.

I may or may not be a ‘sleep Martian’ genetic mutant. Huh.

Welp, as X-Men powers go it’s pretty sucktacular to be honest.

Wolverine gets regenerative abilities and cool claws. I get Excessive Daytime Sleepiness.

When will I get USEFUL powers, like mind control? I WOULD COPE WITH THIS WACKY SLEEP PATTERN BETTER IF IT CAME WITH MIND CONTROL.

My version of it comes with a distinct inability to control my own mind, this is bullshit.

When you’re chronically ill, you don’t take naps, naps take you.

*abled voice* well maybe if you were more positive, did yoga twelve times a day, cut out gluten, went vegan, cured any physical damage with, spent £537738 on natural treatments and tried harder then you maybe you wouldn’t be sick.

The main difference between me and my cat is that when she sleeps all day and does nothing productive, she doesn’t feel crushing guilt and overwhelming societal pressure.

Empty Arena + Rain || Like This

(Dedicated to @babyshawwn cause she’s so amazing and kind)

Here is a an empty arena version of Like This by everyone’s favourite Canadian nugget. it also has a calm raining background. it works with or without headphones but for a better effect i’d use them.

Close your eyes and just imagine that all you could hear right now was Shawn rehearsing this song while it pours down outside. Take a deep breath and remember that everything will be okay. You’re stronger then you think and braver than you believe. (Masterlist)
