@mariahmcbridepend: Why do you think some of us with autoimmune conditions end up staying home all the time? 😑 #AutoimmuneWarrior #ChronicIllness #Friendless #Homebody #InvisibleIllness
I would like to go out, I have an open invitation, but I just don't have the energy

Everyone left me except my husband and my daughter who’s still at home. No one wants to be around a sick person.

I think it’s because everyone else is living their lives at the speed limit while we are broke down on the side of the road. After a while they are out of sight!

All of my friends have faded away since I got sick. I go to doctor appointments and the pharmacy, but otherwise I just stay home by myself. There's really no where to go, plus I have no extra money to go if there was.

Because I don't always have the energy " people" my capacity is limited and my comfort now comes first. Most don't understand limited capacity and take it personally.

Everyone leaves when you’re sick and need them the most. That’s what I’ve learned.

Too many plans canceled or call outs due to your chronic illness and truly if you don’t have it you want understand nor wish that onto them or anyone else. Also no one tells you what other side affects your going to have or how this condition sets off other issues and identifies others

Rachel Herrera :
I don't think people without autoimmune issues understand the severe fatigue and muscle pain that so many of us go through. I have like 3 close friends that I've known for 20+ years. They are ride or die and understand that I would not lie about my symptoms.
