Whatever is worrying you right now, forget about it. Take a deep breath, stay positive and know that things will get better.

Confession #1,657

Having a chronic illness means constantly riding the line between “know that I don’t want to be this way” and “am I complaining too much?” It’s so frustrating to feel like you’re always bothering others.

Knowing that no one will love you or want to put up with you and your illnesses. Even if it’s not true, the crippling thought can be inescapable.

sometimes it annoys me that the concept of chronic illness is widely misunderstood. 

“ugh. you’re ALWAYS sick.”

“it’s just annoying because we can’t go anywhere sometimes without you wanting to leave because you're ‘sick’ again.”

“she must be faking it because no one can be sick like that all the time.”

Actual quotes from ex-friends or family members who seem to not be able to grasp the term “CHRONIC ILLNESS.”

I’ve spent the better part of the weekend holed up in my room because i’ve felt ill from the symptoms of said chronic illness. Even when we’re supposed to be in remission or we’ve been flaring for 10 months, the point of having a chronic illness is that it’s chronic. repeating. active. it will always be a part of our bodies and lives. why is that so fucking hard to grasp?

I hate that I take the literal smallest things as rejection or signs that someone hates me

September 19th

It's 6:45 am and i so don't feel like going to school. My intestines are acting up from yesterday's binge and i can't even seem to get motivated to take a shower. I just feel drained on energy and positivity.
