"all the more reason to get better!"

buddy, if wanting to get better would fix me I would have gotten better an eternity ago

#chronic illness #spoonie #chronic illness sux #yes I go to counselling and physio and all my doctors appointments #yes I want to get better #yes I am trying everything under the sun to get better #next time you get the flu why don't you just try wanting to get better and see how that pans out for you

not anything too serious,

my symptoms always get worse with stress, and when i’m about to go somewhere and have even the slightest symptom i get stressed about it happening while i’m out which then makes it worse, cycle repeats. recently this has led me to leave/cancel plans suddenly because i feel terrible and i panic about feeling awful while out and i’m worried my friends are starting to to resent me or that they will in the future

i never know if i should add in to these or if ppl just like talking into void but i thought id give u an affirmation n say i do think is p srs n that its the reality of chronic illness

stress is the #1 factor for all digestive disorders n most other chronic illness n stressing abt having a flare up at the wrong time is a part of chronic illness n it rlly sux bc it is like a self fulfilling prophecy n ppl do see it as a moral failing on the chronically ill persons behalf bc “well why do u have to be anxious abt it itll be fine” like its some sort of switch u can just turn off n on in ur mind

also ppl r a communal species n its nice having a support group n when ur going thru chronic stress n that chronic stress makes u sick n u develop a chronic illness if ur ppl start to leave u that can makes things worse bc now ur left to deal w all that stress on ur own which compounds the problem

but just bc ur worried abt ur support system leaving doesnt mean they will some ppl can be supportive n understanding

it can rlly suck to cancel plans bc it feels like the chronic illness is robbing u of ur life n enjoyment but just bc ur having a bad moment or bad episode doesnt mean thinks will be bad forever

one thing u can do is let ur friends know u appreciate them supporting u n being understanding of what ur going thru another thing u can do it make new plans if i have to cancel smth w friends sometimes we just change what we were gonna do if im feeling too bad to go out n am worried abt needing a bathroom randomly i usually invite them over to my place n we just chill in to make it up to them if they have a movie or show theyve been wanting me to watch ill watch it w them then lol but u might find ur friends r rlly supportive n thatll be less stress for u

it also helps making friends who also deal w similar issues i have a coworker friend who has lactose intolerance n ibs one friend also has gerd n one doesnt have a diagnosed stomach disorder but he has an anxiety disorder n his digestive system definitely is effected but we can all vent to each other n understand if someone needs to cancel or change plans or needs accommodations etc etc

thnx for ur ask btw i rambled a lot hahaha but u brought up important stuff abt chronic illness imho

Medicinall withdrawall sux. Stay warm and OK.

Thanks, I feel pretty garbage but a bit better than yesterday. One of the worst things about having that ADHD and chronic illness combo is that I often forget to refill my many prescriptions in time. I really need to talk to a doctor about getting better treatment for my ADHD, now that I live alone it’s starting to get the better of me more often.

I’d like to document this time in my life as probably the lowest of lows health wise and probably the worst my eczema has been a long time. Hard to eat these days too. It seems kinda silly, but so much of my life has been affected by this illness. it’s tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a doctors appointment on Friday and I’m hoping for some clarity, but won’t get my hopes up. Man…hug your friends with chronic conditions cuz this shit sux. 🥲

#I don’t usually post here like a diary but why not #sictober/lovember #eczema #for me

I hate that so much as walking around a museum for a couple hours is enough to put me out of commission for two days afterwards

#I’ve been flaring up since ugh #like I just wake up and I’m exhausted #chronic illness sux

Also because I’ve been talking so much recently about deeper analysis of characters and my begging for more background about pre-mission lives on Shlorp, I’d like to point out that it’s totally fair of Korvo to be frustrated that Terry really doesn’t care about the mission and doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he’s supposed to be an expert on the pupa. But I also speculate/headcanon that Terry cheated and lied his way into even getting a mission because if he didn’t he would’ve been left to die. Either that or something just bad was gonna happen to him. What I’ve been imagining is that when Shlorp blew up, they left a lot of Shlorpians to die if they didn’t think they’d be beneficial to creating a new and even further advanced society for Shlorp 2.0. I just don’t think that Terry would’ve even put in the effort to do all of that unless there was a serious motive to. And I think if he actually disclosed literally any of that to Korvo then he’d be way more understanding and patient w Terry. But also he’d still be like pls help me I get it but this still sucks for me because I feel duped and being lied to abt what I was going into is not fair to me. I am beggingggggg for context about this.

#I mean yeah he seemed pretty unhappy there but he had no way of knowing they’d end up somewhere way different #it was just assumed to be Shlorp 2.0 so like #if it was gonna be the same I don’t think the motive would’ve been there #not for someone repeatedly emphasizing that they’re incredibly lazy and don’t even care abt Shlorpian traditions n stuff #I think this is a really valid assumption and honestly? one that would make the most sense #solar opposites #solar oppoites hulu #terry solar opposites #as a mentally and chronically ill autistic jew oh boy I don’t like thinking abt what’s like #basically eugenics lol but #again this is what makes sense to me #I am really just banging out these deeper thoughts this week aren’t I #oh and ALSOOOOO one more thing because I’m me and I’m on fire these last 72 hours #terry has also canonically shown that he will do things he absolutely never wanted to have to do in order to survive #ppl do crazy at times out of character things when motivated by survival!!!!! #ugh I’ve never not had big emotions or massive empathy in my entire life lol #n I know I tend to at times give him more slack than I should because I find him very relatable #I’m tryna hold him accountable for shit better but bear w me #bc I think for me watching someone behave unideally and poorly the exact way I do is like #man I need to hold myself more accountable for shit too and that is hard and sux lol #mine #headcanons

When you meet someone else with a chronic illness so you start explaining how their experience mirrors Fight Club....

(The entire plot of Fight Club could have been avoided if doctors just took the narrator’s complaint that he couldn’t sleep seriously instead of telling him to be grateful he doesn’t have cancer!)

#anyway i told her to start a fight club #so hopefully i solved it you guys #adhd brain #do any other of my female followers love fight club? #male followers too but so many women wont indulge me in this one #i find it is best experienced with other women #otterandterrier sux #otterandterrier SUCKS #fight club #insomnia #chronic illness

I hate my stupid fucking walker and my stupid fucking array of chronic illnesses.

I hate COVID for making me sick.

I hate that I have to fight so fucking hard to get better, and work so hard just to do the bare fucking minimum.

I hate my fucking mom for abusing me and making my childhood so miserable that I didn't even try making plans for adulthood beyond 'get away from here'

I hate my fucking dad for ignoring her abuse because if she was hurting me, she wasn't hurting him.

I hate my siblings for having a nicer version of my mom than I did

And some of my classmates and peers for getting a better start.

But hating doesnt fix anything

Hating doesn't make it fair

And hating doesn't make me better.

So I will go for a walk

And eat a sandwich in the park

And try to move forward.

sorry same person but this is why i get really kind of defensive and pissed off when people are all whatever about gastro issues especially ibs because it fucking kills like it hurts unlike any pain i’ve had before and people will still be like ‘yeah but it’s gross and stupid’ no it fucking sucks and i can’t get rid of it

also somebody literally said to my FACE the other day ‘oh my god you have IBS that’s literally so embarrassing’ and this is one of my close friends. i was also very clearly not in a jokey mood about it and was upset because my stomach hurt so your account is a godsend and i hope people can get over themselves and end the whole ‘ew why would you talk about that’ thing

chronic gastro illness rlly gets the ableism twofold one for the usual ableism of ppl not understanding the chronic in chronic illness or the pain n fatigue that comes w a chronic illness n second anything having to do w digestion is seen as a taboo subject bc “its gross” even tho its v natural

n like u said there r symptoms that r v debilitating ppl who dont have a chronic gastro illness dont stop to think abt how much having a digestive system that fundamentally doesnt work can be disruptive its not like we just shit more or less then the rest of the population theres the cramps n nausea that come before bms n that by diagnostic criteria dont immediately get better after having a bm theres the danger of dehydration when u have chronic diarrhea n everyone ik who has had a bout of constipation either bc of a chronic gastro illness or some other reason say its miserable ur nauseous n bloated n gassy n just feel over all bad

n the biggest one i think is how most ppl just eat n dont think much abt it but when u have a chronic gastro illness eating can feel like a battle field how is this gonna settle will eating make me feel better or worse ? n sometimes during bad episodes u know eating is gonna make u feel like shit but not eating is gonna make u feel worse so u just gotta power thru every meal u have on top of wtvr ibs symptoms ur having

able bodied ppl dont realize it is a privilege to be able to eat n shit wo having to think abt it at all able bodied ppl dont realize its a privilege not to have to know where a bathroom is at any given moment its a privilege for ppl to be able to look at ppl who suffer w ibs n say thats gross n embarrassing dont talk abt that bc they dont know the pain that comes w having ibs or any other chronic gastro illness

that rlly sux that u had to hear that at all but esp from a close friend of urs n im glad the blog could be a good space for u n good luck w ur flare up 🙏🏻

Just a PSA: I realize today that I am so unenergetic about replies and things because I’m literally a month behind on my B-12 shots and have negative spoons to spend on anything outside of work. I’ll be going to my doctor on Wednesday to get stabbed but yeah here is an explanation for my dogshit ability to reply to anything or miss DMs. I promise it’s not you! I am simply running in negative batteries. 😭 Thanks for your patience everyone.
