There’s no welcome guide to the world of chronic illness … but there really should be.
I wish someone would teach you how to cope with the tremendous guilt and grief you will endure on an almost daily basis.
I wish someone would prepare you for the pain of being abandoned by those you love 🧵

And there are people like that on this small network. I thank you, in person if I could. A kind word goes a long way.
Those skills come with time, but dealing with the grief, guilt and loss is a near constant battle. /2
We all go through it, and we all deserve better.
We deserve to be loved, accepted and included and we should never have to apologize for being sick.
One day I hope we never have to. /end.

I don't understand how humanity is so old and yet so infantile in behavior.
The shit I see my SO go through with doctors and the healthcare system is wild. The bias against women is very REAL.

So hard to process that accumulating loss at those ages.
Best would be both, of course. What a tool!
