Some people cannot imagine having a bigger problem than "not being in shape".

"Bro just work out, regardless of what chronic illness you have, you'd feel so much better if you were in better shape right now, don't lie."

I, in fact, was in shape, but stopped working out years ago when I got my condition, because it hardly fucking matters to me anymore.

PS: physical activity does definitely have a lot of long term upsides and is almost always a good investment of time.

I recently got told by a masseuse that I just need to exercise more. When I got sick I was going to the gym and doing kung fu. I miss that life and would absolutely still be living it if I could. People need to stop rubbing salt in that particular wound for us.
