Title basically. I love how this disease is just bad enough to make you miserable. But not enough to get you any sympathy points. So you are just stuck rotting in bed while having people around you judge you🫑.

Continue working... but poorly.

If I really have to be in bed... work still... but even more poorly.

But if I have to be in bed and can't function... then whine a lot (internally)... read if possible... or maybe binge a dumb show? (And continue more internal whining.)

It's pretty rare that I'm ever bed ridden though, so 🀷🏽

P.S. I feel really, really fortunate and need to acknowledge that privilege. Sure, I have health concerns and there is probably some dark mass broiling within πŸ˜…πŸ˜, but I'm currently able to care for and provide for my family, which is a huge deal. So... much much gratefulness for that. πŸ’œπŸ™πŸ½

Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
