New Year's Disaster: Living with Chronic Illness

I f****d up new year. Pls help. I’m so fed up with my life constantly being different from other ppl my age. I have no independence, I constantly struggle with the impacts of medical trauma, chronic pain, mental illness. I’m so angry at everything that happened and I just wish I could live a normal life. But I have a chronic condition and I can’t. I made my family cry and they told me how much I wear them down taking my anger out on them over what my life is like. I’m now sat alone crying and half of my family have left. This year was going to be a good one and now this happens on the first day. I’m so fed up.

I also feel like the world isn't made for me. Sometimes I get mad at my parents, but I have to remind myself that they lived in a time where mental health "didn’t exist" and that they don't understand.

I really feel this. I have that same anger in me. The worst bit is how unfair it all is. I didn't do anything to deserve this

life is so cruel sometimes. As much as there is good there is also as much bad and for no reason. I’m doing better and got the day back on track. I hope ur doing ok ♥️
