Someone/Anyone: “you talk about being sick a lot and I think its annoying”

Me: “oh sorry, I didnt know that the biggest aspect of my life that affects me every single day was such a bother for you to hear about. It is in *no way* a bother to me having to physically live with it”

Also me: “you talk about your kids/job/love life/etc a lot because they affect your everyday life but you don’t see me sitting here telling you how annoying it is.”

Im chronically ill. It is a HUGE part of my life. I talk about it to advocate for myself and to bring awareness to others. I also talk about it because it is a general thing about my life? I don’t talk about it to get some weird form of attention or pity.

I honestly would give anything for it not to be something i have to talk about. If you have a problem with disabled people talking about their disabilities you need to re-evaluate yourself.

GTFO.
