RE: Seriously, Stop Posting That You're Sick. I'm Tired of it.
WOW...just wow. With that blog title I came in here...ready to just blare at you to have some compassion. Instead I read a heartrending story that sounds so close to the story of my life it scares me. Never have I seen the majority of my experiences told so perfectly through the eyes of someone else. I get migraines but not like this. The beast that took over my life is CRPS. Such an unexpected read. THANK YOU for putting this out there. People need to wake up and realize why we need to post about our illnesses sometimes. Made me start crying <3
I was in tears writing it. I'm on day 7 of this one and, while I have some lower pain times, it's wearing me out. So exhausted from fighting with pain. CRPS does not sound like something easy to handle either. I'm glad you commented, and glad you read this. After writing it, I've had some people tell me that it was the stuff they couldn't say. I never expected that. I've had friends tell me they understood more now, and that I should never stop posting because they want to know how I'm doing. They said if people don't like it, they can leave and stop reading.
It's sad that our illness becomes the biggest part of our life. It takes over everything. It's not who we are and we need to stop apologizing for something that we aren't asking to have happen to us. No one truly wants to feel this sick or stuck on the sidelines all the time. Thank you, creativesoul, for letting me know how you felt about this.
