I don't even know where to start so I'll just rant I guess. I was a gifted kid and had really high expectations for myself and wanted to improve society (as in actual systemic change, not just becoming a doctor or whatever). At 11 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and since then I've only gotten worse in other regards. Every few days I have to change out medical equipment and it's fucking traumatizing but there's no way for me to take a break. Over time my energy, concentration, and memory declined (I'm not intellectually impaired and I don't know if that's made the whole experience better or worse). I've gotten to the point where I spend most of the day in bed and am unable to work. For a long time I mostly ascribed it to laziness and then to depression but recently I figured out I have chronic fatigue. The prognosis is absolutely terrible – about 5% of people ever recover. It's terrifying to think if I don't ctb i could be stuck with the exact same fucking issues in, say, 50 years. I'm dependent on my family and we don't get along very well.
I don't know what else to say right now, might add to this later.
