bb_sharkk :
People act as if we have any kind of "life" outside work, im entirely housebound on my days off, everything is dirty and im several weeks behind on chores. we make sacrifices in order to get our bills somewhat paid 🥲

Jacqueline :
Exactly. working full time means working, coming home and going to bed and spending entire weekends in bed. That's my life.

Lumpy :
I am scraping by doing what I can to survive, but end up in tears every night from pain and exhaustion. But I've been called lazy before. Its frustrating.

Celine ❁✿❀ :
not working I was still completely exausted just taking care of myself, just existing. now I work full time and I barely take care of myself. its such a lose lose game

Evey single bit of energy and executive function is given to my job.

ugh this hit deep 😩 I remember dragging myself through workdays with chronic pain and fatigue, pretending to be fine. I thought that was just life until I found Eat Like a Woman Protocol (by Loren Green). it helped me regulate my hormones, heal my gut, and actually have energy again—30 lbs down, no more afternoon crashes. it’s crazy how balance can turn “barely coping” into real stability.

bc it's not actually sustainable. you're staying afloat, but you're only treading water.

Sara :
I love when doctors tell me to exercise even just five minutes a day and I think “so what meal do you want me to miss?”

Brittneyyy :
I’m privileged enough to have an amazing wfh job and a loving, supportive partner who helps me around the house. Take one of those away and I couldn’t do both.

obi :
My therapist called me out for saying dealing with my body is like having a second full time job. It isn't a full time job that is 40 hours a week. I have to be in my body, and deal with it 168 hours a week. Often late to work because I'm not used to how long getting ready takes now. Because when you don't get restful sleep waking up is hard. Didn't see friends today. l Laundry and actual work instead. Dishes are a pipe dream.

Rach :
before my wonderful husband, informed full time had 3 children and chronic illness, undiagnosed autism and many other issues. i worked hard. I was good at my job. I had no life tho. fed my boys. put them bed tried to to housework was too tired and in too much pain. would sleep badly and then spend the weekend trying to catch up while spending time with kids. I have a supportive husband now and I work from home 3 days a week so I am in a much better place but its still so hard. I always have things to do and somedays all I want to do is sleep. 😞

What’s a bizarre thing for me is that when I sit at my desk at work I wanna be productive on those specific things

I always thought everyone at work felt what I feel too but I was just the weakest. Nope! It was just me 😭

T Mobley :
This is so good. And it looks different for everyone every day. Example, I had to file for disability, take an unpaid leave from work to not lose the possibility of returning, and still leaning heavily on my partner on my harder days. It’s been a full month of pneumonia and I can’t keep up on laundry, meals, socializing, errands, etc.

✨🪷🌊444🔥🐞✨ :
I’m chronically ill and don’t work and still can’t even do these things. And you know why? Because I spent 10 years forcing myself to work past my limits to the point that I couldn’t bounce back. It’s sick the way we have to do these things to just keep our heads above water, and at what cost?

T3chAng3l :
it's almost like... my illnesses would not be so chronic is I was getting paid enough to justify the hrs I work (so I can afford convenience after working 40+hrs) or I go part time and get paid a living wage. nothing crazy I'm not asking for handouts, (although honestly more of us should be) but like a studio apartment and food security on part time salary would be enough for me to "thrive" as a disabled person.

DreDre~chronic illness :

Ember Sielle :
I say I'm too disabled to work, because all I can do is work, I can't do anything else cause I'm too tired
