What It’s Really Like To Be Chronically Ill

What It’s Really Like To Be Chronically Ill.

the chance to give up everything and you chose to give up nothing

if you  had the chance to give up everything and you chose to give up nothing if you chose to carry on rather than chose to give up at that point .if you chose to not be defeated but to fight .if you chose to dream or live them dreams.if you hold your hand over your heart and theirs a beat…. that’s a purpose a purpose for you too carry on your alive for a reason don’t give up now when your choices have always been to battle on and be a fighter ……..

 

“normal”

Why is it a person with an illness or disability forever dreams of being “normal” but a normal person would only strive too be different ?….

saving yourselfs for that day we truly are a 10

People with life long illness (chronic illness )  are always asked are you okay how are you feeling ?  and yet we all answer with i’m fine ill be okay etc  .When realistically we are not okay in pain,tired,fed up of the constant fight doctors or people ask too rate are pain we would say less than we actually feel saving yourselfs for that day we truly are a 10 .We all do this too not feel weak or feel are illness make us any different or any weaker than  another human being right   ? People in society moan about a small graze a cold or bug like they are on deaths door. When there is people out there battling everyday with medications pain,sickness not forgetting that they will never get better or lead a normal life yet they have the ambitions too carry on with life and achieve all they can. When your ill with a cold or bug really ask yourself should you complain so much when there is people in much worse situations in life take time too really think about the people around you that really are hurting and are still fighting through everyday with smiles on there faces even when they truly feel there lives are crashing around them ….

What It’s Really Like To Be Chronically Ill

Society’s recent obsession with cancer stories war. and other situation but do they ever think of the chronical illness that are out there too  and movies like The Fault in Our Stars made me realize that the average person doesn’t know what it’s really like to be sick. Chronically sick. What it’s like to wake up every morning and know you’re never going to get better. No amount of medicine, doctors, surgeries, and procedures can fix you. and within time its only going too get worse too the point you can no longer feed yourself or control the nerves in your body.

I think the reason why people today love to hear about cancer stories is because they are just that. They are stories. They have a beginning, middle, and an end. While that end may not be a happy one, and ive lost so many family members too cancer they have all been able too lie at rest and be at peace and out of pain, people are satisfied with closure. But my story doesn’t have an end.would be a lot easier if it had an ending than something that will carry on for the rest of my life . And people don’t seem to like stories without an ending. also its an invisible illness from first glance no one can see what you actually go through or  how you’ve been feeling .

 

The worst part about being chronically sick isn’t the physical pain, it’s the emotional pain that goes along with it. You reach a point where you can’t hold back the tears any longer and suddenly you’re breaking down and theres nothing you can do or explain that will make people feel your pain . You think you can escape the emotional torture; your disease is purely physical, right.The worst part is that there is no escape. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no happy ending. There is no way to make the incurable go away. We learn to tolerate the physical pain. You have to. But it’s the overwhelming emotional burden that makes you feel like someone is holding your head down in the water. You can fight it, but you can never overcome that crushing feeling. How are you supposed to get rid of an emotional suffocation when the source of it is never going to go away

being sick means my genes suck or my body just plain hates me, but somehow being sick has made me better. I may be biased, but I think that sick people — especially young sick people — are some of the best people you will ever meet. Now don’t get me wrong, healthy people are great too. But when you’re sick, you understand things that other people might take for granted.

You learn to love every good second, every good minute, of any of those few good days you might have thats if you get any . You don’t fear death because you’ve already stared it straight in the face quite a few times or even been there . You know it’s not important to dwell on the little things. So  many times as I’ve wished to be normal for even just a day, I’ve appreciated my life, both the good and the bad, so much more as a chronically ill young person that I ever could live  as a regular teenager but then in this society what is normal and what is a regular life?i live in denial that i am as sick as i am too try and be a “normal ” person   .

Being sick makes you strong. Being sick makes you weak. Being sick gives you insight and knowledge about life as it eats away at your own. Being sick is the greatest blessing in disguise. It is so much more than just having an illness . It’s having your entire life be taken out of your control and theres nothing you can do but fight g to get it back. And that fight will never end as where  fighters and once your a fighter your always a fighter ….
