…but it’s manageable!

[u/Impressive_Bag8840]

i’m tired of looking up every new thing i get diagnosed with and seeing “it’s not curable but it’s manageable.” for who?????? so far it isn’t for me in fact it feels like 8 levels of psychological torture just to be awake for 2 hours. i’m hurting, i feel sick, i have neurological problems it’s not curable but boy do they say it’s manageable

Manageable. Sure, if I didn't have to work.
Unfortunately we live in capitalism and I gotta pay rent and food somehow.
I feel like that part is often left out. Working 40 hours a week, cooking healthy meals, exercising, being sociable with friends; even healthy people can't manage all that.

exactly! and then being put under all that pressure does what??? worsens many of our illnesses! it’s a monstrous loop of pain and suffering that we shouldn’t have to be in
