I think the scariest thing about having a chronic illness is you truly don’t know what you’re going to feel like from one day to the next.
Yesterday I was able to shower and stand up for more than 10 minutes and today breathing is hard.
The unpredictability and the sheer fear of having to deal with flare ups and feeling like everything is falling apart constantly.
I am tired.

People don’t talk about how frustrating chronic exhaustion is. I honestly feel like a zombie some days, with the energy of someone who hasn’t slept in a week having to act the same as healthy able bodied people do 🙃🙃🙃

the "im so sleepy" jokes that have gotten popular lately kinda piss me off as someone who is chronically exhausted tbh because yeah you might be a little tired but every single day i feel like im on the verge of passing out just all day. and naps don't make it better and sleeping at night doesn't make it better the only thing that SOMETIMES makes it better is depriving myself of sleep and that's really hard to do when you're almost nodding off half the time

(Requested through dms) imagines for ppl with chronic fatigue
good request op! i have chronic exhaustion (unsure if it it’s the same thing exactly? have not gotten much info from psychs) so im surprised I haven’t written this before tbh
-ur f/o will always check in with you, and with your energy levels, and make sure you’re ok
-if you’re not, they’ll make sure to help and take care of you however they can- cuddles, hot drinks, reading to you, anything
-if you worry about being a burden, they will 100% put your mind at rest and assure you that they love you far too much to ever think of you that way
-imagine, one day you wake up and you can just tell it’s going to be a bad day. Ur f/o sits next to you on the bed and gives you the most gentlest loving smile and gently strokes ur hair for a minute while they talk to you before getting up and making you a hot drink. Then they wrap you both up in a blanket and wrap their arms around you and you guys just have a cozy day in bed :)

i'd really like to go out and breathe in the fresh winter air, and idk do something fun for a change. but i know that being this sleep deprived could lead me into tricky situations and that i could very well trip and fall cause of dizziness and exhaustion. so I just sit here and stare, not exactly sure how to get through this day.

Love how sometimes I'm like 'I've been doing pretty well recently, maybe I'm not as ill as I thought, I need to get out and do something' and then I go to the library, spend the whole time face down on the table, and then need to recover for a full week and I'm like 'nvm lol'.

I’ve had a really bad flare up in work, blood pressure all over the place and so dizzy and weak.
What is hurting me the most is that I’m doing everything “right” but I’m still getting these attacks.
I just want to crawl in a hole tonight 😪

I've managed to develop the opposite of 'the fear of missing out'. Fear of Being Included. If there's people expecting me to get out of the bed for something that's my worst nightmare. No more experiences please.
