Struggling with Chronic Illness: The Daily Battle

I’m so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I don’t want my husband to have to care for me anymore. I don’t want my child to hug me and wipe my tears. I want to be the wife and mother I always dreamed of being but there’s this wall that stops me everyday. I claw and punch and kick at it every day trying to knock it down and it stands without a scratch. I don’t want this sickness and I can’t be cured. It feels like trying my best will never be enough.

Hey it may never be “enough” for the standards that have been given to you, but you are always enough as is. You’re fighting your disease everyday and it’s not reasonable to expect you to live like someone that isn’t having any problems. It sounds like you’re doing a great job everyday, even though compared to societal standards it seems not enough. Your child and husband will see that you’re such a strong person, not that you didn’t do enough 💕
