I’m so tired of not being able to take long walks

I’m tired of having to sit in the shower and convince myself to fight through the aches and get things done because I don’t have enough time and the more I wait the worse the pain gets

I’m tired of not understanding my classes because my brain fog and exhaustion is so heavy

I’m tired of getting back positive results and being told everything is fine

I’m tired of having to take the bus just to still have to walk to class

I’m tired of organizing my days because of my pain

I’m tired of having to prove to people that I am actually in pain and deal with it everyday

I’m tired of having people tell me it’s just because I don’t work out

I’m tired of spending money trying to figure out what’s wrong

I’m tired of not having it in me to enjoy the things I used to do

I’m tired of leaving events because I can’t keep up

I’m tired of people laughing at me when I bond with someone old about joint pain

happy pride month and scoliosis awareness month ya’ll!! it really is my month (and disability pride month is in july so let’s goooo)

Jerry's anatomy is inspired by our back pain
