[pic of woman with ribbon in her hair and showing her biceps] Every morning it’s a struggle just to get moving. Every day it’s a struggle to stay awake. Every night it’s a fight to find sleep again. And the next morning the cycle repeats. This is the life of someone with Chronic Illness. It’s exhausting. My illness doesn’t stop but I won’t let it stop me. @myfightforair

Source: stillfuckingtired on tumblr Dec 19, 2025 Brain fog is not an adequate descriptor, actually. Fog can be kinda nice and beautiful and ethereal and refreshing. The thing we’re describing is more like a brain BOG; everything moves slow like you’re wading through water, it’s clunky and heavy and you keep getting stuck in the mud. It’s uncomfortable and inconvenient and everything takes so much effort. You lost a shoe, probably.

“Most people live in fear of some terrible event changing their lives. For the chronically ill, this terrible event has already happened, and we have been let in on an amazing secret: You fight and you survive. There is no other way. You adapt, and your life changes, but in the end you go on with whatever compromises you have been forced to make, whatever losses you have been forced to endure. You learn to balance your fears with the simple truth that you must go on living."
