Every single time I say I’m tired someone responds with something like this, people who know I have CFS. It’s not the same! I hate having to remind them that it’s like I’ve been awake for three days and climbed a mountain and have a flu. That kind of tired. My bones are tired. I physically cannot feel like I’m resting, even when I’m lying down. I get that people get tired from working and living life but that’s something I would do anything for. Them saying they’re tired is waving their privilege in my face when I’m here barely existing and trying to confide in someone that I’m having a hard time.
It feels like a slap in the face and makes me feel so misunderstood and alone.
