@timezebratt: If you’ve ever apologized for canceling plans, needing help, or talking about how you really feel, this is for you. You are not a burden because your illness affects other people’s plans. You are not a burden because you need support. You’re a person who deserves friendship, care, and a place where you can be honest. If you needed to hear that today, leave a 🦓. You’re not alone in Club Zebra. #ClubZebra #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #InvisibleIllness #YouAreNotABurden
Yes, and I don’t think there are any assurances that can make me stop. It takes awareness and effort to remind myself that the things my partner does for me aren’t exhausting to him; he’s not chronically ill, nor is he always hoping for a reprieve the way I am. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t on the brink of exhaustion.

I needed this. I feel so worthless most of the time. I’ve always been the one to jump in and help, hustle, volunteer myself. I pray to the heavens that I have someone in my life who is selfless in my later life

You are an amazing creator. I’m so glad your hear to put words to the pain I feel both in my body and how I feel my illness has changed me. You say all the things I think all of the time. You bring me a peace because I know there is somebody who understands what I go through all the time. Ty

We are constantly comparing ourselves to healthy people and we shouldn't. It's almost like comparing what a 2 year old can do to what a 15 year old can do. Our worlds are forever changed and we still hang onto the notion of our old selves. I've withdrawn from everyone because I feel like such a burden. I'm just so sorry that we have to live this way 😔

I love your insight. I just feel like I should be doing so much more but can't. That's my brain talking to me. I really don't know how others feel about me! Just being here is enough.
