anywhoodles- i’m done rambling thank you for reading. i hope you all have an amazing day.

i used to work- im on medical leave currently i’m going back soon. i’m hoping i’m able to handle working but i dont think i will be. especially because i get dizzy from standing for more than an hour and my job requires a lot of standing and walking- it’s basically standing for the entire shift

i dont mind having to re explain but when it comes from close friends it feels like they dont actually care to listen to me when im talking about my chronic illness- and i know! i know- they arent good friends if they act like that- but its hard making friends when i cant go out for long periods-

like having to explain to people constantly that i wont be able to eat much at our dinner get together is very scary. i dont know if they’re going to judge me. when i go to restaurants with friends i always get told to eat more or i get asked why i didnt finish my food. which is kinda frustrating.

also having friends who don’t have a chronic illness or never experienced a serious illness feels so isolating as well, especially if you only have those kind of friends. it feels like they’ll never fully get it, and they wont unless they actually develop a chronic illness.

also, telling a chronically ill person what to do to not get sick.

as someone who is chronically ill it can get kinda frustrating having to constantly explain that my illness is *chronic* and wont just go away with household remedies. my entire day can depend on how i’m feeling that morning.

telling someone who is frustrated or angry to “calm down”. i know they usually mean well, but it just pisses me off when i’m frustrated and i’m told to “calm down”.
