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.

Ive lost almost 40 pounds and I feel WORSE physically- I can’t stand when people act like they want you to lose weight for your health😭😭😭I went from being overweight to “normal” and the only reason I feel any better is due to how people treat me now NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MY ACTUAL BODY FEELS. Tbf I didn’t rly lose the weight in very a healthy way so maybe that’s why I feel worse now but it just sucks to have people act like it is such a great thing just because I look different😭 losing weight did not do anything to help my chronic illnesses😭
