4 common but overlooked symptoms after viral illness: ~ Feeling hot but having a normal temperature ~ “Internal tremors” ~ Waking up unreste

"My body hates me" "Ugh I hate my lousy ass body always holding me back" "I'd hang out but my stupid body's too fucked up to let me" I know it feels like your body's working against you but it isn't- it's doing its best to protect you and keep you alive

If your chronic illness is post-viral and/or autoimmune your body's doing everything it can to fight a constant battle against what it believes to be a threat. Sometimes it develops because an infectious disease has interfered with the functions your body carries out. And some illnesses develop symptomatically as a survival response because your cortisol production indicates that constant fight or flight isn't working so it forces a freeze response. If you're in pain, fatigued, have brain fog, etc, you can't exert yourself and are forced to conserve your energy. That way you don't overdo things and possibly compromise your survival. It feels like a lousy survival response, it really sucks, but it's still an indicator that your body's doing its best

You can hate your symptoms and vent about how much they suck, I know they truly suck balls and some days I just wanna scream and break things while I'm in bed struggling to keep my eyes open. Just don't forget that your body doesn't "hate" you and you should treat it kindly. Many symptoms like pain are there to tell your brain something's threatening it- even if your nerves are misinterpreting sensations like strong temperatures and sending pain signals to your brain. Billions of little cells and microorganisms are working 24/7 to keep you going. Those little guys carry out so many functions and none of them are for the sole purpose of making your life harder. It always comes back to your body trying to survive

Sometimes I think my poor body hates me. But I know it's really that it's fighting hard to keep me alive and functioning but is being beleaguered by multiple health issues. Pain and fatigue are kinds of communication, they're just very not fun kinds

I get so so so jealous whenever I read fics about the marauders having fun at school

Like what’s that like??? I wouldn’t know 😞

Experiencing great friendships, partys, and running around without fear of how much you’ll be able to do the next morning. I wonder what that’s like.

Maybe if I wasn’t autistic or ill and I had a good friend group I’d still be in school but!!! I guess I can’t have everything 🙁 talking like I even liked school in the first place (I didn’t) I’m glad I left but the marauders friendgroup opportunities 💔
