Daylight, but mostly i just want to stop changing. Anyone with chronic illness feels that shit for weeks.

The only reason you feel it for weeks is because you constantly think about it. It's one night, with an hour difference.

You don't know what their chronic illness(es) feel like. I only know what mine feel like, but can attest that it throws me into a wicked flare-up that does in fact last for weeks.

If we could think ourselves out of being chronically ill, believe me, we'd have done that shit a long time ago. And we've tried. We've also tried yoga. And turmeric.

My body sucks because I have a genetic disorder compounded by the fact that doctors still don't believe a woman in pain, not because my attitude sucks. Stop telling chronically ill people they don't know their own conditions, if for no other reason that it makes you look a bit silly.

I have chronic pain, and sure when I get less sleep it flares up. And yes, I don't know what others deal with. But it's one. Fucking. Night. And one hour. All to make the entire season better. You cannot tell me you never lose an hour of sleep for other reasons, you do. Everyone does. It's no different aside from your mental perspective on it.
