What’s it like to not be ill?
Hi, I’m 20, and I have 3 chronic illnesses! As you may have guessed, I’m really sick (lol) of people making jokes about all of the things that are wrong with me because it has recently come to my attention that I’m actually quite traumatised by everything I’ve been through already in my short but oh so sweet life. I was diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip at the age of 14 after a year and a half of x-rays, MRIs, biopsies, hospital appointments, discussions and more. At 17, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (normally shortened to PCOS), but most recently at 19 I was diagnosed with arthritis in my left wrist, accompanied by tendonitis on the other side of the same wrist. So I guess you could say I’m the full package! At least when it comes to medical conditions, that is.
I’ve now decided that after an hour of trying and failing to set up an actual blog on a real website, I would just turn to trusty tumblr where I can vent out all of my feelings to a bunch of people that don’t give a shit. Don’t you just love a bit of self-congratulatory social media usage!
So yeah, this is what my tumblr has become now; somewhere for me to vent my frustrations into the abyss knowing that no-one I know in real life can ever stumble across it and try to get me to talk about my issues properly. Who needs therapy?
