something that isn’t talked about enough with chronic illness is knowing that going to your appointments and doing your exercises and all that will help but being in too much pain or too fatigued to go, so your just stuck in this constant cycle of knowing what you need to do to get better but not being able to do it because your sick

If nobody has told you yet, or this year, or even this day, I want you to know that what you can do is enough.

If all you can do is an hour or two of school/work, that's enough. If all you can do is go to medical appointments, that's enough. If all you can do is tidy up your room, that's enough. If all you can do is take a shower, that's enough. If all you can do is your hobbies/things that make you happy, that's enough.

If you can't do any of that, and have to lie in bed most days, or every day, and other people take care of you, you're living despite a world that is so hostile, you are suffering so much and still living. You are doing enough.

You don't owe anyone productivity. You don't need to have a job, go to school, or write or draw, or do anything else in order to have inherent worth and value. You deserve to be taken care of. You deserve to be loved. No matter what you can or can't do.

I need support right now from someone in the disabled community, hopefully someone who uses mobility aids of any kind (or has advice on helping me possibly find the right one for me) and/or has fibromyalgia and/or hypermobility. Please send me a DM whenever you’re able to, I was just diagnosed and I have so many questions and need some guidance right now — I’m a young teenager and was just diagnosed and even though I’ve been dealing with nearly non stop pain for over a year now I’ve never had more questions than right now and I need help.

Every day I wake up like "I don't feel good :(" and honestly I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired!!! It feels like I'm in a never ending flare up. This one has lasted so long! I just want a little relief. To have one day where I don't wake up with a pounding headache. Or joints that feel stiff and achy. Or one day where I wake up feeling rested. One day where I don't wake up already in pain. Just one!! I'll take whatever I can get.

I feel stuck in that cycle where it's so hard to do the things that I know will make me feel a little better. But I feel too fatigued and like trash to do anything. But I know doing the things will help, but I can't find it in me to start. I know I need to prioritize these things, but it takes so much energy that I'm already so low on. :( Putting all of this into words is so hard. I'm so tired.

One reason I still struggle so much with saying no to things, for the sake of my disability, is because there’s still so much uncertainty.

You ask me to go do something, and I say no, I can’t do that right now. But I still hesitate. I still feel so bad, and so guilty, because the truth is, I don’t know for sure I can’t do it. You’ve asked me what seems to be a simple question, but I’m here having an intense internal debate and battle with myself.

Because the real answer is that I just don’t know. Maybe I can do this thing. Maybe I’ll feel fine afterwards, or at least mostly okay. It sounds fun, and I’d like to, and maybe it would be worth it. But also maybe it would make me feel terrible. Maybe it will affect me in such a way that I can’t do this other thing I really need to do tomorrow. Maybe it wouldn’t be worth it at all.

But there’s no way for me to know for sure.

When the chronic fatigue is chronic

anyone else ever wish they could lie down harder? Like, I'm already horizonal, but I need more horizonal. I need to be absorbed by the floor. I think that would fix me
