Health anxiety is so stupid. It’s like: I’m really worried about getting (illness) I really hope I don’t get (illness). And then your anxiety goes: oh, you mean (illness) with these symptoms? These ones that you are now feeling right now suddenly?

On today’s episode of Is That a New Symptom or is it Just a Normal Thing?:

I ate a tad bit more than usual and now my stomach is getting it’s revenge in the form of pain and phantom bathroom-needing. And all of my joints ache, but that’s normal and unrelated.

Stay safe, kiddos!

Is it possible to admit yourself to hospital and have them run every single test possible on you? Like I do not even care about how insane of a co-pay that would be. If it meant not feeling like I’m on the brink of death daily, I’d do it.

Remember that next time you ask if something truly is needed, or if it really is that bad.

chronic illness is saying “eughughuhuhggg I’m somehow faking all my symptoms I’m such a bad person” as you’re literally alone in a room in the fetal position trying to cope with all of your pain

Healthy people who say stuff like “they’re still doing things so they can’t be in THAT much pain” need to understand that after a certain point pain becomes boring. No, you never get used to the pain, but you do gradually become bored. After months or years of mindless suffering in bed eventually you learn how to watch TV, do a light hobby, etc. even while in extreme pain, simply because chronic pain is incredibly dull and humans need entertainment.
