I need friends who understand chronic illnesses. Every time I need to cancel or can’t do something it becomes this huge deal because they don’t understand sometimes I physically can’t get out of bed when they want me to

The autism and chronic pain combo sucks. I keep getting sensory overload from the pain so I keep having shutdown and occasionally meltdowns

I’m 20! But I get it, all my friends are doing day trips and going to parties and being spontaneous, but I’m like I need to know weeks in advance so I can rest up to then so I have energy to participate. Also parties are a sensory overload and I’m always stuck as DD and that’s not fun (even tho I wouldn’t even join in alc or whatever). Also like sorry I’m a grandma, but I need to be able to rest my body for a couple hours between activities

I’m 24! Also should be out and about doing things. Instead I’m laying in bed compressing all my joints bc I somehow got bursitis everywhere. Gotta love mystery health issues
