As a chronically ill girlie who doesn’t really date do guys care if you have medical issues? Mine are all internal like POTS for instance. I just never want to be a burden on anyone especially a partner

Not really. Depends on the impact it has on the relationship. Friend of mine the other day showed me his phone, apparently he was talking with a girl for a while. She was paralyzed waist down and the words he used to introduce her were “Shes hot right?”

It depends on who you choose as a partner. My fiancé embraces my disabilities and is actually more concerned about them than I am sometimes. Like he doesn’t want me doing certain things (like exercising) because of the risk of me passing out or dislocating/spraining something.

as long as it doesnt debilitate the relationship, and as long as shes doing what she can within her power to overcome and better her health. i like taking care of a girl, but i dont want it to take over my life, unless this is a girl i am already deeply committed to. i think if she can take care of herself for the most part, she'll be fine

Honestly no. Just take your medicine and keep grinding. Illnesses do not define us.

i know your intentions in this comment are good but i wanted to let you know that you can't overcome a chronic illness. it's a disability. someone with diabetes can't just overcome not be diabetic anymore, just as someone who is in a wheelchair won't ever walk again.

"doing what she can within her power". i know certain things are inevitable and unchangeable, but i want her to at least work towards being functional where she can, rather than do nothing about it

Okay, I just wanted to make sure you understood like the chronically ill people are disabled. They can be functional though with the proper accommodations but they have to work to achieve / find what those are for them so you are in the right mindset
