#Repost @spoonie_village with @get_repost ・・・ Hey lovelies, last couple of days have been rough to say the least. To be honest since January my CFS/ME has really been putting me though my paces. I’m posting this because lately I reverted back to the “I’m fine” answer because let’s be honest sometimes it’s just easier than explaining that same thing over and over to the same people. I know they mean well but sometimes I just get sick and tired literally of being asked how I am, because if I was honest I know that a) most people wouldn’t know what to say b) often they see me like once in a few months so it’s politeness more than general interest and c) it’s usually followed by I “wish you were feeling better” or “can’t wait to have the old you back” or “it’s so unfair you’re still sick” or for me the worst “but you’re looking so well/so much better”. I know people mean well, and it can be hard to find the words sometimes but I just really feel the need to get this off my chest here because I know many of you will just “get it” and have your own experiences with it. I think whether you’re living with these types of illnesses or not we all go just revert to “I’m fine” because this day and age often asking how someone is seems to have just become an automatic start to a conversation but when the honesty comes out and you do express how you are, all too often people aren’t really prepared to deal with an answer they too are just waiting for an “I’m fine” so we can get on with the conversation as it were, when in actual fact that should be the very conversation we focus on and have. Didn’t mean for this to get this ranty haha but just something I’ve been thinking about for a while. What do you all think? Do you just say fine too most of the time? #spoonievillage #imfine #butnotreallytho

The classic film 'It's a Wonderful Life' may not be the warm, happy story that it first appears to be. https://gkinsi.de/2Clp7Yp
