Freyja Fuggin Blight :
I started answering "how you doing" with "Hanging in like Mufasa" When they point out it didn't end well for him I reply "Not for lack of trying"

Having to moderate our answers is so exhausting.

I even catch myself answering the doctor asking how I am with “I’m good thanks” and then I go on to explain all my issues that show I am in fact not good 😭

Someone asked me the other day ‘what’s new with you’ and I wanted to punch a wall. My life is the same every day every week every weekend nothing changes.

My answer to “you look great!” Is “thanks, I’m trying my best”

I had a mammogram yesterday & the nurse asked me where I was going next, did I have something nice planned? I told her ‘Nothing, this is my big day out’🤣

Also, people mostly have small talk while standing and I'm constantly thinking, "How do I find a chair while not being awkward?"

Or “ what have you been up to?” Doing nothing with my life to try and keep myself from getting worse faster then i already am. Dealing with a bunch of symptoms constantly.

I often get asked "are you feeling better now?" after 5 yrs of illness. With a sigh & a shrug I answer "everyday there's a new surprise." Medical professionals asking if I've been traveling out of country. I actually laugh & tell them I'm lucky if I travel in my little town. Then they ask "why?!??" And you have just so clearly explained why I hate small talk. I lie, they think I'm better. If I tell the truth I'm a downer who is focusing on my troubles too much. It's around every corner. Exhausting

Im at a stage where i cant do talk even, never mind small talk. I isolate and keep to myself. Its embarrassing to always be in pain at my age.

I try to shift focus on something super tiny positive “How are you” - “I’m okay / I’m managing. But I’m looking forward to XY / I’m happy about the weather / I saw something funny this morning / …”

I had to explain to my husband one day that when I actually complained about my pain that’s when I probably need to be seen by a doctor because I’m always in pain and I never say anything to not make every convo about my health…… just keep smiling. Just keep smiling just keep smiling so they’ll never know.

Sometimes I say "I'm on my feet." But most of the time I tell the truth and now I barely have any friends and I definitely don't want to meet any new people.

"I'm average, how are you?" "Hanging in there, what's up?" "The horrors persist but so do I"

And what hurts me the most is that I used to be such a caring person and want to genuinely talk to the other person. And check in with them and know that they are doing well. And that things are great in their life. But I find myself in my head, or selfishly navigating a conversation that physically and mentally feels uncomfortable. When I walk away I feel guilty…like I wasn’t able to give back to them like they deserved. It hurts my heart.
