hope with chronic illness is not thinking you will magically recover, or that you will have a certain level of ability in the future. hope with chronic illness is believing that no matter what your illness throws on you, your life will be worth living
Love this, howilearnedtocope. 💙
This is really important. Like I was describing to my significant other yesterday that it’s going to be draining for me to be in an environment where people are wanting recovery at me. Like it’s exhausting, and when other people are imposing that desire on you, not only do you have to deal with your illness, you also have to carry the knowledge that your continued existence is going to be letting people down. And no one should have to deal with that.
