i talked to my grandma yesterday. can the klonopin kick in already
#she legitimately terrorized me like i do not understand it. i was telling her about my upcoming surgery#and instead of being supportive or excited she was like 'i hope you're in counseling. and this is hard on you but it must be so hard for#your boyfriend. he goes through so much being with you. and if he wasn't with you you would be alone' basically just like. trying to#insinuate he's suffering for being with me. or that he's sacrificing a lot for being with me. and that i'd have nothing without him.#that's when i said thank you for talking i love you goodbye and hung up#because what in the hell! before that she was asking me what i do for fun lately. and her idea of fun is going out and doing stuff#and i told her i really can't do much lately. it's too hot to go outside and it's painful to walk etc. and she was like. so over hearing#about it like telling me i need to do SOMETHING. and i said that i do actually do things. and she asked what i do. and i said i spend a lot#of time researching medicine and learning about my conditions bc i've kind of needed to become my own doctor and i find a lot of joy in#it and actually could see myself doing something in healthcare or patient advocacy long term. 'mmmmehhhh no. fun' was her response#or something to that effect. her sentiment was that what i'm interested in and passionate about isn't correct because it's not fun for her#it just blows my mind that this is the way that conversation went. bc i texted her to ask if she had time to talk because i had medical#news i wanted to share with her. and then she like makes me feel bad that i have medical stuff going on? that i'm getting a hysterectomy?#i texted her after and told her i felt hurt and relayed some of the sentiments that were concerning to me and set a boundary that i don't#want her speculating about what my boyfriend might be feeling toward me about my chronic illnesses. and she responded by saying something#about how it's just sad hearing about medical stuff because everyone in her age bracket has that going on and she wants to hear about#something joyous and happy. so it's my job to pretend my life is something it's not for the sake of interacting with my grandmother?#purely for her benefit? like................ i get it must be really lonely and difficult being older and having ailing friends. i'm 29 and#my body's falling apart though. i feel like she doesn't want anything to do with me because she can't live vicariously through me#it's just fucking tough right now because i don't have any family who's there for me at the moment. my dad's not really there.#lots of drama back at home. step sibling going to prison. so i understand i'm the least of their concerns. i just wish i mattered too lmao

i am seriously running so low on foods i can tolerate. applesauce is almost out of the running? amazing
#i think i have gastroparesis 🤩 yay#i’ve been surviving on applesauce and potato chips for three days#i’m working on almond milk rn (hurts) OH orange juice is ok. i had a bit of a smoothie that was ok#and two protein shakes that were a bad idea#what do i do. do i go to my doctor about this or do i just keep toughing it out until my hysterectomy and endo excision to see if that helps

rb with whether people assume you’re older or younger than your actual age
#when i was younger they always assumed i was older. probably bc i always had a baby on my hip#now they assume i'm always younger. probably bc of the eds skin

People on tumblr are like "I'm handing all my mutuals a bowl of soup we are kissing with tongue we are the bestest of besties I am killing and dying for you" but sometimes me and the mutuals are posting completely different shit existing on the same blogging platform but really we're just standing in the alley going "ayup" at each other like fucking king of the hill.
