Chronic illness sucks! / motivation for those in a similar situation

The past couple weeks haven't great for me, my hopes of getting a full-time job are gone out of the window for now, seeming as I can barely do basic tasks around the house. I've got my family and faith that help me when It gets tough. It's a shame there is no treatment for the condition, but hopefully soon there will be.

For others going through similar with their health, no matter what anyone else says, you are strong and knowing when your body has had enough isn't giving up or being lazy. We all have our limits, and they are real and valid! :3 #chronicilnessesarevalid

    Hey @MorgsSmiles24, I’m so sorry that you haven’t been feeling great these past few weeks, and that your chronic illness interferes with your basic tasks. I’m glad to hear that you turn to your family and faith for support when it gets difficult.

    You’re so amazing for getting through each day with a chronic illness. It’s lovely that you made this thread to uplift others who are experiencing the same as well! I hope you’re okay and that you’ll feel better — I also hope you’ll get a full time job one day <3

    Thanks, @kaii. If I even get a part-time job, I won't mind. My ability to do any work currently is low.
