Yep, like I totally came out to face increased harassment for shits and giggles, it's so much fun.

Yep, so many "self help" books have such great advice like "No energy? Have you tried going for a walk?". WITH WHAT ENERGY‽‽‽

Yep, every public pool, every outdoor pool, and every pool that ever has small kids in it has pee in it. Which is basically every pool. Also it's that a third of adults have admitted to peeing in the pool, so that number is likely much larger. That super strong "chlorine" smell that people associate with pools isn't chlorine, it's chloramine, which is, as my boss put it, "Chlorine bonded to "stuff"". "Stuff" being literally anything that isn't water. This includes pee, but also lotion, make-up, hair gel, everything. If you get bright red eyes from the water you don't wanna be swimming in it. A little red is expected, everyone having bloodshot eyes? Nope nope nope, you will not catch me in that water.

I've done this about migraine. "Incurable neurological brain condition" gets lots of sympathy, migraine gets "oh boohoo, you have a "headache"".

Yep. Apparently babies deserve to suffer for...being born? I've been told I should see my horrible migraine as a gift from God that he thinks I'm strong enough to carry. 🤬 Ah yes, the "gift" of unending pain. That's not a gift, that's a curse.

Yep, but if you ask them why babies have cancer they suddenly don't have time to debate you.

Yeah, they really don't like you pointing out that they cherry picked the bible when what they are saying is the opposite of what a quote means in full.

Hey look, it's me

Ugh, add in chronic nausea from migraine and it's a joy. My nausea level, hunger level, and desire to eat are all disconnected. But they all have to align if I want to successfully eat. So much fun. All hail Zofran.

Yep, my one grandma would do this, it was so irritating to go anywhere with her.

Or stuff like

Me- mentions in passing that I have a chronic illness

Them- watch this 2 hour rambling video about a completely different condition and you'll be cured

Me- no, that would be like telling a paraplegic to watch a video about diabetes and then they'll no longer be paralyzed

Them- I was just trying to help, you just want to be in pain for the pity party

Yep, I believed all this crap, right up until I could really think and started asking questions. Then my faith was suddenly the issue and it wasn't that they couldn't answer my questions, it was that if I stopped asking I would find the answers. 🙄
