chronic fatigue vs 430mg of caffeine daily who will win

When you’re chronically ill or disabled, a short task also requires an allotted recovery time or flare time. I can vacuum my bedroom in 10 minutes with difficulty, but then I need 2 more hours to rest because I exerted myself. I might even need an entire day to recover from a more difficult task. So a 10-minute task now becomes 2+ hours, and an hour task becomes a day. So when I ask someone else to do a task I can technically physically handle, it’s because they can do it in minutes and I need hours.

a message to my fellow wonderful disabled/chronically ill butches and femmes: there is a place for us, we’ve always been here. you don’t have to follow the ‘big strong provider butch’ or ‘perfect put together femme’ archetype to belong, and you don’t have to explain yourself to anybody 🫶

the most evil person alive would like to start their career in mental health

in a horrible crash. fullbody weakness, incredibly tired, horribly hungry but eating gives me intense nausea, migraine, light-headed and dizzy, short of breath, etc. :(

this is literally just because of my curse

some days are really hard and it can be difficult to understand why. but usually its probably because my blood is haunted
