Once you become chronically ill and don’t get better you just basically become irrelevant to everyone you knew.

1) As a chronically ill person I often accidentally steal from my future energy reserve. Whether on purpose (like attending something important) or on accident (like cleaning a little too much) but it can end up affecting the next day or the next WEEKS. It’s hard for people to understand. But this

People are always so surprised when my chronic illnesses make me chronically ill

Truth!

It’s high time we start being honest about what’s behind a lot of the push towards “wellness”. It’s ableism and eugenics. Its scared people who can’t face the fact that they could lose their health at any moment. It’s people who desperately need to cling to control. 🧵

Patients should not be getting sick in the place they go to receive care. Masks should be mandatory in all healthcare facilities. If a patient asks you to wear one, do it. Your “comfort” shouldn’t be a higher priority than our lives.

If you want to believe that chronic illnesses can be fixed by “getting out of your head” or “mind over matter”…that’s perfectly fine…that’s for you But when you offer that as unsolicited advice, to any disabled person…it just makes you an asshole & no one wants to hear it

For personal reasons I have decided to stop being chronically ill.

One of the hardest parts about being disabled, in my opinion, is being someone who wants to do everything but being stuck in a body that struggles doing anything.

Being chronically ill means existing in a body that doesn’t function, living a life others can’t understand, suffering nearly 24/7 while being constantly told you’re not good enough. No matter what you do, it’ll never be enough because disabled people are seen as less than. 🧵

Stay home for once 😂🙅‍♀️

Can we please stop normalizing colds, flus, and other viruses? It doesn’t have to be inevitable anymore. There are ways to try and prevent the spread. Illness can cause disability. It can really affect you in long term ways. It benefits everyone by not spreading sickness.
