Non disabled people can’t understand the unrelenting monotony of chronic illness.

The soul crushing defeat that comes from knowing you won’t feel “better” the next day.

The exhaustion that comes from fighting an oppressive system of ableism for the smallest amount of dignity & decency.

It really is a 24/7 (unpaid) job.

@broadwaybabyto The big thing most do not understand is that sooner or later, they too will live with a chronic illness and/or disability. Live long enough, and it's almost a mathematical certainty.

@broadwaybabyto Yeah, at *best* I have days when I feel slightly less sucky (though still, of course, in pain ... I've not had a day without pain *somewhere* since 2017, though at least medication helped me go from "every day is 6-7" to "moderately bad days are 6-7")

So, chronic illness solidarity >.<

@broadwaybabyto the comments you get when not being able to do things you just simply cannot do… “But you look normal!” … (whatever that is)
