@ClayBrooks pretty much like what it is in Ontario. I couldn't get onto DSO because they only recognize certain types of developmental disabilities even though I have a developmental disability. They don't recognize my disability.

@Bre19 definitely the trapped feeling is what I get, feeling trapped in it all

@Bre19 I feel like this a lot too. I feel trapped by the pain and other horrible symptoms, and it feels terrible

@Starcycle I feel this on a deep level 💕 I agree that you can only do what you can do - it’s the weight of every body else’s expectations that can make shit hard.

@Starcycle I needed this reminder. All of us on here are fighting against bodies that are just trying to do their best for us but they can’t. It’s a very hard thing to try and love your body when it causes you so much pain

@Starcycle Not to say I don't get frustrated at all, of course.

@serendi so true

@Olivebutter2236 yes

@LadyBrownharth felt this deeply

@LadyBrownharth I also find it so tiring constantly having how much pain you are in questioned. I have broken bones and had injuries of that level 10 pain, and they are simply nothing compared to the toll of being at a 4/5/6 pain daily and not being seen because it’s ‘not bad enough’

@LadyBrownharth And I really make amazingly good tasting and healthy foods that people love... except me because I'm spiteful that it's perfect but doesn't help... that much. Depressing maximus.

@IAmTired247 me too

@DitsyDiabetic this pretty much sums me up. I feel like my family are far too pushy with me about doing ‘normal’ activities. I can’t even get out the house much at the moment because I’m constantly tired and I am honestly working my hardest to be like normal but I seem to be like in this never ending web of issues

@DitsyDiabetic I felt this especially when it comes to having depression and anxiety it's a constant battle

@DitsyDiabetic absolutely, couldn't agree more. Especially the 'invisible' illnesses.
