Me: I can understand why someone wouldn’t want to talk about politics right now, it’s exhausting to be inundated with one topic constantly.

Them: Yeah! Exactly! I mean, *immediately launches into political discussion*

I have the opposite problem, but I hear you SO STRONGLY. With my dysautonomia, my body temperature is always too high, and during the hot weather I’ll have days that I can’t leave the house, that I spend the entire day with a cold, wet towel on my back eating ice chips because it’s the only way I can keep my body temperature down at a life-sustaining level… It’s incredibly frustrating, and every time the weather starts warming up, people are like “Oh I’m so happy and ready for summer, are you ready for summer?!”

NO!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!

Human bodies just suck. Why can’t we be cyborgs yet? XD

xD Yes! That would be awesome! Then I could just adjust my body temperature with a button.

I just don’t function below 80 degrees F, the way most of the people in my life don’t leave their air-conditioned rooms if it gets over 80 F. The moment the weather drops, I turn into a pile of blankets and curl up near any available heat source until the sore/stiffness/spasms go away enough that I can venture out for food. They come out and start getting to work on projects, start asking me why I’m such a couch potato, and start throwing celebrations and singing Christmas songs.

Go away. Reptile woman is hibernating until the warm comes back, and she is NOT dreaming of snow.

Be the person Uncle Iroh knows you can be

when I am awake, my brain says “sleeeeeeeeeeep” but when I am in bed, my brain says “awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake”

Just got back from the Renfaire today; the one place I feel badass with my cane.

The world needs more happy Whirl.

lunnies:

stop ! telling ! chronically ! ill ! people! “at least it’s not cancer”

you are not reassuring me, and I know many others feel the same way

you are making me feel invalidated, that my complaints are unjustified, that I can’t complain about my own illness bc ‘other people have it worse’

suffering doesn’t need to be compared

illnesses are different. they don’t need to and can’t be compared

and stop implying that we should be happy and content that it’s not something worse. it feels a lot like you’re trying to silence us

and just because we don’t currently have cancer, doesn’t mean we can’t ever get it, or other horrible things, on top of all the horrible things we already deal with.
really awesome of you to throw that reminder in our faces
