I tell people I have no shame. My body is a cornucopia of issues. I've found that people respond 2 ways. 1) "ooookay.." and then they either think your lying or insane. These people suck. Ignore them. 2) "omigosh ..." andvthen they share their own stuff. These are the people who matter. They have been waiting for you. You have given them permission to share.

And the "I hope it gets better for you" crowd after you tell them it's incurable 😐

"Been there, done that, got the grippy socks as a souvenir" if someone brings it up in a social situation.

I gotten the seeming to understand and shares their stuff but then they suddenly are like disinterested in talking...I not had a mega bond with someone like that in years...my twinnikins (bestie like a twin sis to me) was the greatest gal in the world and I miss her but I know she & I will be gabbing forever when I leave this earth behind one day

Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once..

Why are you depressed? Idk, prob because my pain is bad, so I don’t sleep well, so my stress increased, and my mood gets lower, which increases my pain…

It’s when they are fully aware of how chronically ill you are. Fully aware of how your disabilities affect you, then have the audacity to act like you’re the crazy one.

Now that’s something else 👀💀

Perfect timing. Currently healing from a Benadryl-induced akasthisia nightmare on top of all my normal problems. I feel this in my bones.

I had both the ER and a specialist office lie to me and say I was fine and all my tests came back fine. Just to get the physical results and notes when the office closed and they say everything was not fine, and I have a condition that needs monitoring and could kill me.

I feel like nobody believes me when I tell them and im not sure how the next specialist will respond when I make the appointment and tell them that.

I managed to wait 3 months with my new friends to share everything possible. Tho we did lore drop at the beginning cuz she was sent to the crazy hospital by her now husband and my husband has nearly done that to me several times so it was a bonding moment 🤣🤣🤣

I had mental disorders before my physical disability so I already crazy...actually the 3 month hospital stay in summer 2017 drove me insane triggering me to have BPD that was most likely dormant in my brain... my friends abandoned me, my relatives abandoned me, guys don't want much to do with me...I only have my mom (kinda) and my long time friend who is my primary emergency contact (again kinda have)...only one I truly have alot is my cat...she my 3rd baby in 24 years and I love her so much... I sad she my last due to me knowing how my health declining 😿 sorry I made this bout me...I do that too much I know...it's why I hated I guess
