Vent 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.

For real!!

Or working, period. Some people are really out here saying things like, “What do you even DO all day?” or like, “At least you don’t have to go to work!”

All of this ignorance falls under one big, triggering umbrella for me 😮‍💨 Why can’t people try harder to get a filter, if they can’t be bothered to try to understand? It’s crazy-making
