one of the specific inconveniences that Haunts Me abt being riddled with complex illnesses is what seems like such a small thing: rarely being able to wear clothes. i spend all my time in pyjamas, and every morning i wear fresh clothes because i want to feel like a person and it's always pyjama shorts and an oversized shirt. that's the best i can do.

and i am GRATEFUL. im so grateful that most days i can dress myself despite the struggle, i am unbelievably grateful i have access to clean and cute pyjamas. that is NOT the standard.

when i was younger i couldnt shower everyday and i wore the same clothes for days on end due to illness and stuff and im more sick now but ive found ways to maintain myself so i shower every day, get changed every morning from my night pyjamas into fresh ones or even a big shirt and shorts, and it's fucking awesome that's huge compared to what i used to

i just wish i could make use of the pretty dresses i have in my cupboard

#it's so silly when you think abt the much worse parts of being disabled #but like being housebound for years is shit #mind you #the fact that i can work from home is a blessng #it's hard but it's a million times easier than when i used to do stuff out of the house #i think when i started this blog i was like. id just started being able to spend my time outside of the home every day #in a flexible schooling environment #then like late 2022 i got even sicker and it became impossible #so now i spend all my time at home again #like i did before 2021 #i miss going out but like #i'm managing my illnesses much better than i was when i was younger and housebound #since i was young and like. had no idea what was going on with my body and had no friends or support #now i know a lot more abt myself and how to help myself #it's hard but life is so fucking worth it lmao #personal
