Chronic Illness

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

K-12 education and other obligations have reinforced the social norm of enduring and sitting through uncomfortable circumstances due to fear of punishment or reprisal.

Is it so shocking that the behavior drilled into people continues to pervade their norms?

Good point. It is so unbelievably unhealthy, tbh.
