Why People Who Are Chronically Sick May Post on Facebook. Everyone is unique. That said, long- term illness can change a person; it can change your mind, your emotions, your perspective, your way of thinking… (to say nothing of your body). And the places in your mind that change can be impossible to perceive; what is caused by the physical (hey come on, literal viruses and bacteria in our brains) or the changes that come from long- term isolation, suffering, frustration, loneliness, abandonment, hopelessness…. So when you are in this bubble of misery and feeling desperate, many of us reach that crossroad decision of whether to reach out publicly or not. Now, some do so all the time and some seldom do so.

I want to share with you, the healthy person, the “normal” person, what may be going on in our heads and where the need to reach out comes from. Because to you, (sometimes frequent) posts regarding how someone is feeling physically and mentally can come off as: And honestly maybe some people with chronic illness are. But I am asking you to consider grace, and here is why: Imagine you are living a fairly normal active life; you work, you socialize with friends a few times a week, maybe you are also busy with kids. You do stuff! You go out to movies, you eat out at restaurants, you meet friends for coffee, you have a lot of human interaction at work, you sometimes take day trips or mini vacations, and your life may not be perfect or exciting, but it is full. One day your body starts to betray you. Suddenly all the daily things that were no big deal become as hard as lifting heavy boulders.

Your entire body is tired, tired to the point it feels like you have lead in your veins. Watch Hearts And Diamonds Download. You swear Earth’s gravity just dialed it up a notch as you struggle to go up the same staircase you have been bounding up the last five years.

You start sleeping a lot more, so much more that you start to feel guilt over your “laziness.” Even after a full night’s sleep your body starts to shut down in the middle of the day and you need to nap.

Even worse, you feel hungover, even without alcohol: toxic, heavy, foggy, headache, basically like sludge. So of course you pump yourself full of caffeine because you have a life and things to do… only the caffeine is a quick fix that doesn’t last, so you have more. After a few cycles of this you start to blow out your adrenals, and things get worse…. The Local Stigmatic Full Movie Part 1 on this page.

You start to feel like you are letting the people in your life down as you can’t be there for them in the capacity you were only a short while ago. Oh, and did I mention the pain? You are dealing with pain that has no business in your body at your age!

You feel old and achy. Joints and tendons, muscles and tissues that you never even “felt” at all before, are making their presence known by infusing non- stop pain. Along with all of this (and a myriad of other symptoms I could mention) is the fact that your mind and your thinking are as foggy as your body.

You know that feeling when it’s past your bedtime and you feel your brain trying to shut down for the night? How everything becomes difficult if you are fighting sleep? Trying to just finish that chapter, watch the last 1. Now it feels like that all the time, all hours of the day as your brain is constantly trying to go down as you are trying to get it to go up. Every waking moment is a battle. Normal conversations become difficult because it feels like you are fighting through fog to both process what you are hearing while trying to formulate the appropriate response. You never knew until now that it actually takes energy to communicate and be with people.

You frustrate yourself as word recollection fails you and you can’t seem to formulate articulate conversation. As time goes on all this takes a toll and you start saying no to things. The energy it takes even to get ready, drive places, prepare for things… becomes too much, and you start having to pick and choose what you are able to do in a day, or even in a week or month as things get worse. You start realizing that every activity also requires recovery time, and one afternoon out may mean you need two days in bed afterward. Your world grows smaller. As time goes on mentally and emotionally you for through all kinds of cycles that can be up and down and all around.

These can swing extremely even over the course of one day from crying to anger to apathy. At first all the people in your life are supportive, but as time goes on and you don’t get better, and you have seen this specialist, and that specialist and tried every suggestion of every caring friend from acupuncture, to massage, to “this amazing doctor that helped my friend who had the same problem!” you have read every article ever sent to you on any condition that even sounds similar, you have done crazy alternative things you would never have thought you would ever try…But slowly friends start to drop away, check in less and less, and stop inviting you to things because they know you will just say “no.”Life moves on without you and as the years go by your world gets smaller and smaller and smaller until you find you are alone most of the time. You probably at this point have little to no money because it’s been spent trying to figure out what’s wrong with you and/or trying to get better.

You also probably either can only work very little or not at all, and if you can work it drains you so much you have nothing left for any semblance of a life. Remember when I mentioned the muddled place of your mind and your emotions caused by both the physical and psychological? This is where you are now. You may feel desperate and sad and lonely. Since you don’t see people in person so much anymore you might reach out to your friends online; both your real- world friends and your friends who you met in chronic illness forums and such. So I am speaking to you, “normal” person, who I love and admire. When you see this chronically ill person prolifically posting, “wanting attention,” talking about what they are going through very publicly, and (sometimes) going into TMI territory… know that this did not happen overnight.

This is the same person you know and love and they are beyond desperate to be the person they once were.
