When everyone is outside having fun and you have to call someone for help to rollover in bed 🙄

I am sick of being this weak and useless. I don't really talk a lot about just how much function I have lost because it is so embarrassing. So frustrating 😞

My experience of losing autonomy because of my health is in no way comparable to yours. I can recognise my privileges.
I can however relate to how frustrating it can be. There used to be a time where I'd have one family member in the bathroom with me just in case I fell off the toilet lol.
It might feel undignified but it's not embarrassing. It's people that care about you helping in the ways you would for them during a time where your body is leaving you little choice. I understand it doesn't make it any less easier because the wearisome routine of it all does chip at your mental health and that sucks, I'm sorry💙

@HijabaDabbaDoo i am sorry you can relate. I don't see suffering as competition or anything, it sucks at whatever level. I'm here for you if you ever need someone to talk about it to. 💜

@SwampFlower I was avoiding hijacking your feelings and making them mine. I think people can unintentionally do this and it doesn't really help do anything but add to the load. Lol it's a fine like between that and those sharing insight through their own experiences.

This was a few years ago, I'm in better place now as far as my health goes but thanks home skillet biscuit. Likewise of course💙
