Every time I see a doctor for a specific issue

Doctor: So otherwise you’re healthy?

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHave a seat. Do you want this chronologically? Alphabetically? Top to bottom by organ? I’ll start with some of the more common conditions to get your warmed up.

Do not mistake me being dressed for being healthy.

Do not mistake me leaving the house for being well.

Do not presume to know how I am feeling just because I am continuing to live my life.

Doctor: circle where it hurts

‘Fake It Till You Make It’ Doesn’t Work With Chronic Illness

Instead, the options are: ‘Fake It Till You Are So Ill You Can’t Get Out Of Bed’ ‘Fake It Till You Have A Flare’ ‘Fake It Till You Have A Flare, Continue To Fake It Till You’re Hospitalised‘ OR ‘Accept That You Have One Or More Chronic Illnesses, Adapt Accordingly And Look After Yourself’

I’m sick and tired of my body not doing what it’s supposed to.

When there’s more tears

than smiles,

when there’s more heartaches

than hearts beating pretty fast,

when there’s more pain and sadness,

than love and happiness,

that’s the moment

when you should

stop and think twice.

That’s the moment

when you should

turn around

and take one single step

to move forward.

Give up all these cries // ma.c.a

Self care isn’t just drinking water and going to sleep early. Self care is taking a break when things become overwhelming, saying no to things you do not want to do, allowing yourself to cry, asking for help from those around you, doing things that make you happy.

it’s easier to say “im tired” than “im so sad and lonely i feel like there’s a weight in my chest and my body is so heavy i have no energy emotionally, physically or mentally to even move from my bed”

ugh I feel so nauseous, anxious, and dehydrated and I can’t sleep :(
