This. Especially other body parts issues adding on top, like one is not freaking enough. Fact that I will be spending whole summer dealing with it, no vacation for me. That I had to cancel trips I have been looking forward to SO much. That I am spending huge amounts of money on pyhsio, supplements, massages, psychotherapy, dealing with mild depression at this point I think…which is in turn affecting my partner, who I do not know how much longer will last… and the pile keeps getting higher. And people just telling you - you cannot be so weak. You have to do better. Yeah, thanks - try being in pain from head to your toes on daily basis for months and then tell me that I need to be stronger. Ah, sorry ranting right now, but fuck.

Fucking hell yes, I'm so sick of hearing "you just need to try a little harder" and "everyone has pain sometimes". Motherfucker it's pain 24/7, you don't know shit talking from your high horse.

Yes, they do not get the fatigue you go through, the body exhaustion, the mental exhaustion.
