I'm so sick right now that I can barely get out of bed and it truly is the most exhausting of existences.

I really want to write but I legit cannot focus on anything for any span of time right now. Which is triply frustrating cause I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who can make the stuff I'm in the mood to enjoy.

#personal rant #I think part of the reason those illness tiktoks make me so angry is because when I'm having my bouts of debilitating pain #it's not something I want to be percieved by other people #it's frustrating and disempowering and often leads to spiralling feelings #of uselessness worthlessness and shame #which isn't the tiktoker's fault to be fair but I'm slowly realising that I think it's distasteful #partially because I'm projecting my own very toxic beliefs and experiences onto peeps #who are doing their part to spread awareness of very real issues (for the most part)#that said - I do wish there were less people who used endometriosis to refer to painful periods #and just called that dysmenorrhea because that IS the name for it #endometriosis is a separate disease entirely that is chronic and doesn't just go away with diet and exercise #if I see another “I cured my endometriosis with these steps!” video I'm going to explode someone #“oh I had endo in my 20s” SILENCE you had dysmenorrhea that resolved itself when you treated the underlying cause of the pain #I promise you you did not magically tell your uterus to stop clogging the rest of your organs with its goop #anyway yeah ow owwie ouch
