Etc.
It can be very frustrating needing so many breaks but with the fatigue that often comes with chronic illness(es), you can’t help it.
One way to explain the lack of energy with chronic illness(es) is The Spoon Theory. But another way I could describe it is all the breaks I need. When I was healthier I didn’t need a break after:
A phone call
Writing a text/email
Making a decision
Taking a shower
Eating a meal
Getting dressed
I’ve already made a decision today, you will have to ask me another day

Toxic positivity does not make people less disabled.
Toxic positivity creates feelings of shame towards natural human emotions and the need to want better for ourselves.
I’m chronically ill 24/7 365. I cannot turn it off for you. I cannot even turn it off for me.

Person with a microphone: would you like to keep your chronic illness or double it and give it to the next person?
Me: double it and give it to the next
Btw it didn’t happen to me. Just passing this info along

Are we perhaps called “patients” because we have to be patient with:
The gaslighting doctor
The rude secretary
The long waits
The busy pharmacy
All the medical testing
Expensive medical bills
Side effects of medications
Fighting with insurance
Etc
…?
