hdjdjsjkk my mum works in retail and one of her coworkers is autistic & mostly doesnt talk unless he has to but yesterday he went out of his way to cross through the crowds of xmas shoppers and dodge a train of trolleys to go up to my mum, gesture to the crowds and say “michelle. i am losing the will to live”
A friend pointed out something I hadn’t given much thought to or at least not consciously. I have a chronic disease but unlike other chronic disease mine requires a lot of maintenance in order to keep me alive. My life expectancy drops to zero within a couple of days without getting a dialysis treatment. My whole life is devoted to keeping me alive and that’s what makes enjoying life so difficult because I’m in a constant survival mode.
But this is also why I need to go easier on myself especially as I get older. My life isn’t easy and yet somehow I’m still managing to live it. I’m stronger than I give myself credit for. The shock people have when they hear about my medical stuff is always a surprise to me because I live it, I have to, so I’m used to the day-to-day struggles so I don’t give it much thought. But so much of my time is given to doctors, appointments, procedures, tests, you name it. It’s a full-time job for me to keep me alive.
Just wish I could have a vacation.
