Things people say then you are ill that just sits so so wrong with my spoonie arse:
Oh it just takes 5 min to do each day
Yeah maybe but there is a fuckload of "just 5 min" tasks you are supposed to do which adds up (skincare, brush hair, teethbrushing, take a walk, exercise, eat, do dishes) and on a perfect day it might work but on most days the energy simply isn't there or it needs to be put towards appointments, fixing food, washing clothes or showering.
You just needs to priorities
Go sit on a 🌵. Unless you can tell me exactly what of getting the right medical care, making sure the income security net works, food or personal care I should priorities?
I hope you get well soon
This is often well ment but then you are dealing with burnout and sever mental illness it's not something that will just go away in a few days. It about building up a completely new structure around you to manage it and prevent major relapse.
But you did that thing surely you can do this too.
No just no, I just spent all my energy to do things A and do it somewhat well. People like you is way I scip out on things because someone will demand more of me.
You doesn't look ill
Of course I doesn't do. You only see a very carefully put together version of me then I had the energy to be around people. 80% of the time I'm laying on the sofa in pyjamas and my brain is a combination of scrambled eggs and syrup and I'm lucky if I manage to get a cup of tea without making a mess or hurting myself. Also there is a fucklot of stigma around invisible illness.
