Yep, like I totally came out to face increased harassment for shits and giggles, it's so much fun.

Great job being the sucky books. You completely nailed it and proved why this post exists by saying the same obnoxious things I've heard 5,000 times. I have an incurable chronic illness, that wall ain't crumbling anytime soon short of a major advance in medical science. If I'm too exhausted to get to the toilet without help, how am I supposed to push through that?? Oh wait, I've tried pushing through that, you wanna guess what happens? I pass out, fun times.

The sad reality is people like you making assumptions about why someone they do not know is struggling. You are telling me I need to do something that is physically impossible. So yeah, saying it is easier than doing it when it can't be done. I push through so much crap, an absurd amount of it, but when I hit my breaking point I stop. Pushing through has caused me more harm than good. And then people like you come along and tell me I "just have to push through". NO! I'm gonna stick to respecting my body enough to listen to what it's telling me.

Yep, so many "self help" books have such great advice like "No energy? Have you tried going for a walk?". WITH WHAT ENERGY‽‽‽

Yeah, saying migraine is "just a headache" is like saying a heart attack is "just a little chest pain". It's one of the most common chronic health problems, and yet it's significantly mocked. So annoying.

I've done this about migraine. "Incurable neurological brain condition" gets lots of sympathy, migraine gets "oh boohoo, you have a "headache"".

Yep. Apparently babies deserve to suffer for...being born? I've been told I should see my horrible migraine as a gift from God that he thinks I'm strong enough to carry. 🤬 Ah yes, the "gift" of unending pain. That's not a gift, that's a curse.

Yep, but if you ask them why babies have cancer they suddenly don't have time to debate you.

Yeah, they really don't like you pointing out that they cherry picked the bible when what they are saying is the opposite of what a quote means in full.

Yep, my one grandma would do this, it was so irritating to go anywhere with her.

Or stuff like

Me- mentions in passing that I have a chronic illness

Them- watch this 2 hour rambling video about a completely different condition and you'll be cured

Me- no, that would be like telling a paraplegic to watch a video about diabetes and then they'll no longer be paralyzed

Them- I was just trying to help, you just want to be in pain for the pity party

Yep, I believed all this crap, right up until I could really think and started asking questions. Then my faith was suddenly the issue and it wasn't that they couldn't answer my questions, it was that if I stopped asking I would find the answers. 🙄

Yep, or a caffeine addict who is flabbergasted I don't consume caffeine. (I'm not calling everyone who consumes caffeine a caffeine addict, just the ones who literally can't function without it) Like I can't consume more than a negligible amount of caffeine because it triggers my migraine. But apparently something is wrong with me because I'm not dependent on a drug to stay awake.
