hey my chronically ill pals!
i just wanna remind all of you that resting is NOT a waste of time!!! lying in bed/watching movies/sleeping/whatever you do to rest is not a waste of time!!!! resting is just as integral to managing your symptoms as taking your medication!!! you are not “doing nothing” when you’re resting - you’re actively working to manage your symptoms and take care of your health!!! don’t feel guilty for resting - it’s necessary and good!!! xoxo
@firoztaverbi (on mobile so camt reply to replies lmao) more than half my hair was already white! My hair was lavender back in april but thay washed out so most of my head was already white before this. Just had to bleach my roots! My roots were still darker tho so my stylist did a slightly darker batch of dye for the root so it kinda has this ombre to it
I always hate it when people are all “so do you go to school, or are you working, or” and I either have to
- make up some lie, or
- eventually get around to “I am not working because of depression/anxiety,” and subsequently have to deal with whatever bullshit-riddled and completely unsolicited opinions on mental illness this stranger feels obligated to share with me.
So my therapist was like, “You don’t have to do either. You can just say you haven’t worked in a while because you’re recovering from an illness.”
I tried it when the home inspector was here today, and it fucking worked. He was like, “oh, I’m sorry, are you doing better now,” and I’m like yeah, and don’t worry, it’s not contagious, awkward laugh, and we moved on.
MY THERAPIST. IS A GENIUS. Because it is an illness, so it’s not a lie to say that, and it’s also none of his business to know specifically what it is, and I clearly don’t want to give more details, so we should move on from this topic. MY THERAPIST IS A GODDAMN GENIUS.
Dude I needed this. I never know what to say when people ask if I work because I’m severely disabled and don’t work.

- Will Ferrell stung by a hundred bees
