I sometimes wish I could stop thinking as much as I do. I get so depressed because of my chronic illness.

Everyone’s pain is valid. Stop trying to one up each other.

This poem is so close to my heart especially lately because pain has demanded to be felt and taken over my life the last week. I live in pain constantly. This poem is in the book ‘Radiant Poppy’.

Spoonies, raise your hands for me if you too have that existential crisis of having your youth stolen by illness. While people your age are out doing the youthful thing and you don’t have the spoons, but you really really wanna be out there with them.

ok there is something that needs to be talked about

there is a lot of inter-community ableism between the mental illness community and the physically disabled community. as a member of both, it effects me directly.

more specifically its mentally ill people claiming that physical disabilities (including chronic illnesses) are treated better than mental illness, as if our disabilities or illnesses are taken more seriously than mental illness, or that people will more likely accept them as an excuse for something. but they arent treated like that, not at all.

stop acting like the world is more accessible for physically disabled than mentally ill people, its not accessible for either.

if ur physically abled and can reblog this you should tbh

Just Chronic Fatigue Things

feeling so tired you might pass out

never feeling like you’ve slept - ever

forgetting what you’re going to say 100 times a day

being too tired to sleep

sleeping for 4/8/12 hours and feeling just as tired

needing a nap after being away for 3 hours

muscle aches

waking up feeling like you have the flu

waking up feeling like you’ve been hit by a freight train

your legs not wanting to work after walking up a small hill or the stairs

nausea

sensory overload, e.g. loud cafés, pubs or anywhere making you feel dizzy

anxiety

being too tired to remember the symptoms of your own illness

no one is keeping track of sacrifices you make so if you make them do so without expectations. feeling entitled to a return that isn’t guaranteed isn’t healthy and will hurt you
