Does anyone else kinda lowkey hate when people say “get better soon” after you’ve told them about your chronic illness? Like… I won’t… that’s why it’s called a CHRONIC illness… I appreciate the thought and all, but it annoys me.

Like “thanks! But I’ll actually only get worse with age, you saying get better soon makes me feel like you didn’t listen to anything I just said!”
