Healthy people will never understand what a massive achievement it is to do your laundry AND cook yourself a meal in one day.

a thing that some abled people will never understand or realize is that a chronically ill or disabled person doesn’t have to do anything to be in pain. I woke up today and it feels like my ribs are being crushed and it hurts to breathe or function. all I did was wake up. maybe I ate something last night, slept wrong, or maybe it’s because I’m fucking breathing. we don’t have to do anything to bring pain. you can drink all the electrolytes, take all your meds, try to get some exercise in, try to do all you can to manage your pain and it still won’t be good enough. chronic means CHRONIC. it’s there at all times to remind you that you’ll never be pain free. chronic illnesses are a 24/7 job that never gives you even a second where you can take a deep breath. the pain never leaves your side

“Just sleep more when you’re tired!” If I slept every time I was tired you’d think I was in a coma.
