Being chronically ill is that sometimes you just have to sit on the bathroom floor and cry

you can trust the signals your body is sending you. whatever physical symptom you're experiencing is real. your pain, fatigue, weakness, numbness, unsteadiness, malaise, dizziness, nausea - all of it is real. i believe you. even if you, doctors, friends, or family dont. i believe you.
you should have never had the idea that you cannot be the authority on your own body put in your head. you are the only person on this planet who can convey what you are going through. no one has the right to take that from you. please believe in and advocate for yourself. and know you deserve to have someone advocating for you, too.

To all Muslim spoonies: you not being able to fast during Ramadan because of your health doesn't make you any less Muslim or make you a bad Muslim in any way. Your health must always come first, and the quran and hadith support that.

Shoutout to chronically ill people who need help with daily tasks but don’t have access to that kind of support
This shit is so hard and you deserve better but there’s no shame in struggling and you’re not alone

I don’t think people understand the grieving you go through when you become chronically ill. The realization that you’ll never feel healthy again. That you’ll have this struggle and this pain for the rest of your life. That your body won’t ever be or feel the same that it used to. Sometimes I just sit and I cry and I grieve because I miss healthy me. I miss her so much.

When you do stuff with an invisible illness people often say oh but you can still do things?
Ofcourse I only post of the days I do something. Which is maybe every few weeks or months. Because yes disabled people deserve to do things.
What you don't see:
How long it takes for me to recover.
How I can't have strength to wash my hair for over a week.
How I cannot clean the house.
How I have to cancel everything because everything hurts and I fall sleep on the spot.
How I cry of pain.
How I have to watch everyone around me do stuff, while I'm stuck in the house.
How long it takes to prepare to go do something and how much planning in advance so I can take enough rest to hopefully be able to go.
How I need a wheelchair in parks to not have to much pain afterwards and not having to cut the day short for everyone else cause I can't walk anymore.
It may seem amazing to some to be home all the time or lazy. Trust me, it's not fun. You just sit there, wondering what to do with yourself, it's just you and your pain. It can be incredibly lonely.
So yeah, you see me do stuff indeed. You don't see the before and afters.
Don't we all wanna show our best sides on social media? So yeah so do disabled people.
Think twice before you comment on how a disabled person decides to spend one of their good days.

hey you. im proud of you. im proud of you for overcoming all the obstacles you've faced to be here with us today. and i'll be proud of you tomorrow for the obstacles you continue to overcome.
you've put so much effort into this life, and that deserves praise. even though many of the things you had to work through should have never happened to you. you did it. you're here. you're right here. and you don't have to go anywhere.
so i hope you're proud of yourself too - or that you will be, someday. take all the time you need. everyone lives differently.

Well the UK government is reminding people just how much they fucking hate disabled people: they're going to be telling doctors to give out less sick notes to "boost the number of people in work". Now let's just remember the number of people signed off sick relative to the working population is functionally negligible, so this policy is targeting one group and one group only: the disabled. This will push people who mustn't work into work and it will cause deaths.
We are reminded time and time again that the Westminster government is institutionally ableist (among so many other things) and if they could erase disabled people, they would in a heartbeat.

Man I just love when my body riots for my reason. Like who DOESN'T love waking up and immediately throwing up for what seems like no reason and severe stomach pain for hours afterwards? Who doesn't love lying on the couch/in bed for days because you're in so much pain and so fatigued you literally can't move. Like it's literally the best.
