Chronic Illness 2w
I fear i have to turn into that guy who doesn’t stfu about their problems cause if not people literally forget i suffer from chronic pain and im autistic. So i swear i have to start every sentence with “because im autistic” or “bc i have chronic pain” 1/

Exactly this. Before I got diagnosed I had to get knee surgeries (helped diagnose me) and I would refuse help from others and I felt like shit and a burden. The feeling never goes away but it does become manageable. I have bad days and those really suck

And i fucking hate it! It makes me feel like more a burden then i already am. But again if i dont, ive had people literally say “oh yeah i forgot about that” or they take me to do stuff and i dont find out that its walking a trail till we’re on our way there. And then i feel like people are making fun of me when asking if im tired for seemingly nothing I kinda wanna cry, like im 27 and im constantly feeling like im wasting my life just staying in doors most of the time😪

Like i understand my stuff isnt visible and all that but still, i talk about it alot😂 my autism is DEFINITELY visible. But it makes me feel like people don’t listen to me. Like had i known yesterday we were going to go for a hike i woulda stayed my ass home! Cause the way my legs were burning in pain afterwards, was unreal! And its not that i can’t do these things, i just need to be mentally ready for it and i certainly wasnt.

Like i stopped talking to some people cause they would say they understood what i was saying about my disabilities and then be like “yeah so anyway, we should go bar hopping!” ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK?!
