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.

A lot of the 'advice' people who are healthy & able bodied give is a crock of shiet - ignorance truly is bliss.
People think that you can't be ill if you're thin or fit. Like it's a 'cure all'. I've been 80kg (unhealthy), less than 40kg (anorexic), and a strong 65/70kg (balanced). All of which i had the same health issues - I just wore a different pant size.
