Growing up with a chronic illness, especially an undiagnosed one, is such a hard experience. You think that the fatigue and pain that you experience is “normal” just because you’ve always had it. You frustrate your parents by asking them if you can stay home from school so often. Your teachers, school nurses, and parents wonder why you complain about physical symptoms so often. You’re constantly in and out of the doctor’s office, but the visits rarely yield any answers. You don’t truly realize that you were sick throughout your childhood and not just “lazy” until you’re diagnosed with a chronic illness as a teenager or adult.

please be gentle with yourself. you’re trying. if it’s taking you longer than you thought to achieve something or get somewhere that’s okay. try not to compare yourself to others too much because not everyone gets to where they need to be right away. you’re alive that’s what matters. keep trying. you’ll get there.
