Tired

Am I dreaming? Where do I go?

Everything in me is telling me to quit.

So I have epilepsy for 15 years from now, and multiple sclerosis about 3 years. I can’t think about having a normal life anymore… it took everything from me.

Nobody tells you how strange it feels when your own body stops feeling trustworthy.

Before MS, I never thought about walking. About balance. About exhaustion. About whether my hands would cooperate today or whether my brain would suddenly feel like it’s full of wet cement.

Now I do.

Some days are normal enough that I almost forget. Other days I sit in bed staring at the wall because my body feels unplugged from reality.

The weirdest part is that most people can’t see any of it.

You learn very quickly how to smile through fatigue severe enough to make your bones feel heavy. You learn how to say “I’m fine” while silently calculating whether you have enough energy left to shower.

This blog isn’t going to be inspiration porn. I’m not here to pretend chronic illness made me a better person.

Sometimes it made me angry. Sometimes bitter. Sometimes terrified.

But it also made me honest.

So I guess this is me being honest.
