Exactly 😭 I just try to vent about it when I can and then do my best to survive 😅
so truuuue!! 🤣 like bruh I haven’t even had my coffee it could at least let me me open my eyes before it starts throwing punches at me! 😭 😂
that’s so awful >_< I’m so sorry you have to go through that….
I can never get a full night of sleep when I just feel “normal” because just lying down hurts…and eventually I get a migraine on top of everything and have an entire week of only being able to sleep in 3 hr intervals until I level out..
when i was still working full time (i was a custodian 🥲 that’s how i realized i had a problem because I couldn’t function At All) i would spend most of the day feeling breathing was exhausting like there was tension in my chest and back and my whole body hated being upright for so long…
it’s been so long since whatever must have been the very first time it was “noticeable” to me (because i also have this fun problem where i minimize and ignore pain until i just Can’t anymore 😅) but yeah that’s basically how it was the first time and how it always is especially when it flares up ;w;
fibromyalgia is so stupid.
like?
it’s is the epitome of a Vicious Cycle™.
“Pain causes fatigue, fatigue disrupts activity during the day, lack of activity exacerbates pain, pain disrupts sleep, lack of/increased sleep exacerbates pain, pain exacerbates the fatigue, fatigue disrupts-“

anyway. once again spent an entire day in bed because of a migraine. even with meds to manage this, this is still something that happens.

it’s still disabling. it sucks.
been a hot minute since i posted here. everything going has caused my anxiety and fatigue to overwhelm me beyond what I was prepared to handle.
this is just an alt obviously but it’s for the physical issues i have so like. The Irony, y’know?
Migraines are debilitating.

Sometimes, when I’m fine, I forget. I think it’s because I feel so guilty for saying I have any health problems that are debilitating. Like I’m “not allowed”. But they’re debilitating.

Even now with meds that work more often than not, I still have many bad days…
if i could, i’d just lay in bed. i feel exhausted, my head hurts (likely a migraine…), had an awful dream (probably from the migraine) and i just don’t want to Person™.

however i’m 🩸ing everywhere so i have to get up soon. ish…

(migraine didn’t cause the 🩸 fyi. probably other way around tho..)
I miss my apartment. I miss living in a city/town where almost everything I needed was in walking distance, including my job. I miss being able to go where I wanted, when I wanted, and do what I wanted in my own space.

I just don’t miss that the job I had was hurting me physically and mentally…
it’s actually so weird to to grow up wondering “am i/was i experiencing gaslighting? I’m not sure..” only to end up in and then get out of a different situation and go “OH! So THIS was gaslighting 😶….”
good lord I had debilitating pain experience since i was 7 because I had JIA (used to be known as JRA) and after that + before the widespread chronic pain started in my mid-late 20s i still had tons of bad joint pain days. But nope “just wait until you’re 40, sweetie 😜” is what i heard from people 🙄
and the thing is, whether or not it’s a matter of needing “MORE” sleep or just that the sleep I’m able to get is always awful because of my pain and other issues so i “have to” sleep longer to make up for it is irrelevant.
the point is My Body IS, In Fact, “Weird”. I Do, In Fact, “Need More Sleep”.
feeling Not Great™ and, as i do when feeling like this, thinking about An Individual who confidently and condescendingly stated to my face “You don’t have some weird body that needs more sleep than other people” one of the (many) times tried to explain, near tears, my symptoms and limitations…

that’s awful 😭 that’s more rare to for me bcuz I get so easily overheated. it definitely happens more in the winter. I’ll be so sweaty and I wake up all confused like “why am I awake? why do I feel so uncomfortable?? I have a chill..why do I have a chill??” then I get more blankets and get too hot 🤪
I have to always sleep with a fan on now (and even that barely helps). I have no idea anymore if the sweating is medication related or one of my symptoms and it’s just exhausting and annoying. I get so sweaty and warm and it’s one of many reasons I can’t sleep well..
[+] -THEY were actually The Scapegoat(s) and outright deny or downplay that i ever could have been.
which like….
that is literally just more proof of it and it drives me nuts 💀 like. I can’t even have THAT? you want to take THAT from me too?? i don’t even WANT it it’s just that it’s true like. wow.
not necessarily about my “chronic” stuff as much as my “mental” stuff but like.
it’s fckin wild how like. all the signs of me being The Scapegoat are obvious (in hindsight) but any time it’s been brought up w/ The Others, they want to deny any of the signs/things that happened and/or claim THEY- [+]
got my ears re-pierced 2 years ago (it had been so long they healed over and they never healed right the first time…thnx Cla*re’s ✌️😬). One thing I hated back then was the metal backs always pinching my ears. So I got silicone/soft earring backs this time and those have been AMAZING ✨ maybe try that?

haha!! sick twenty one pilots reference!
made a post similar to this meme over a decade ago on a different site and got dog piled by ppl being like “hey! my dad/uncle/brother/etc is a doctor and I don’t like this sentiment!!” like okay cool but your relative’s doctorate has no bearing on chronically ill ppl being widely dismissed…
