Chronically Sick - Tumblr Posts

I’m not diagnosed as of now but there is discussion about me having PTSD. It is weird because I haven’t been through anything super traumatic aside from being sick my whole life. I haven’t ever thought that it affected me THAT much. I knew I was depressed from it but I never thought I was doing that bad with it.

I don’t think I could handle working full time bc of my health problems, but I’m not disabled enough to get any help for it. So basically I’m screwed.

Today I was told I have beautiful kidneys and I was so happy and proud of my kidneys and it is my favorite compliment I have received atm.

The barometric pressure drops and suddenly I cannot function.

Chronic illness is ridiculous.

Being chronically ill means lying and saying “I’m fine” when people ask how you are, because if you’re honest about how you actually feel & your symptoms, it makes people uncomfortable.

You end up comforting them, when you’re probably the one who needs comforting 💗
