#chronic illnes
being chronically ill is incredibly isolating, but please know you’re not alone. it can be comforting to know others experience the same
Sometimes my husband is surprised at the depth of my “online” friendships, but when you spend as much time as I do sick at home or in the hospital, awake at all hours (but not necessarily “normal” ones), and always having to cancel plans, the only people who understand are other people doing the same. Everyone else is too busy with “real” life.
The importance of supportive online spoonie communities is very real. Don’t feel like those friendships are worth less just because you don’t see each other in person. <3
