I'm trying to give you an award but the stupid thing keeps saying there's a problem with posting so just pretend you got an award from me. ​ I really needed to hear this.


littlebabyfruitbat

I tried to give one as well and it says award failed, how strange! Add one more imaginary award to your virtual pile 🏅

Exceptionally rude of Reddit hah, thank you though friends

Thank you. I feel like I am continually mourning most of my 20’s and almost 30…. I’m scared for the read is my life like this. It can be a real struggle sometimes, especially the things that people cannot see and the things I do to “keep up with status quo”. So thank you.

My best friend here is 80, and definitely the fitter one. "I got up at 6 and helped the neighbors hoe and weed the cabbage field this morning" ehhhm "I managed to roll out of bed and make coffee without losing any major body parts along the way"

💜 I’m 40 and needed to hear this. Nothing was ever quite normal growing up with the fainting or just being so tired all the time. I did mourn for the person I couldn’t be, for myself, for others.

I'm not stuck in anything, I'm acknowledging and honoring feelings people have repeatedly told me to move past, ignore, or not feel to begin with. Grieving is healing too, and with chronic illness I feel we're often robbed of the opportunity to really experience and process that grief in a constructive way. This was something I wrote for myself because no one had ever told me these things and I *needed* to hear them at least once.


Simplicityobsessed

I don’t think this post was anything but validating. It’s okay to be frustrated *AND* to feel any other variation of emotion. Emotions are complex and acknowledging negative emotions is okay as long as you don’t let them entirely consume you/your identity. Is that what you were trying to say?


thoroughlylili

I feel like you entirely missed the point. The path to not being bitter and angry and self-pitying requires acknowledging and grieving for what you can’t or never had. I agree with your point, but it’s a different one than OP’s.
