ive been a mix of sick/recovering from medical stuff/lots of sleeping in bed/can't exercise at all this last week, and it's really affecting me mentally. It's kinda unsettling how powerful it is; my brain is like "oh everybody hates me and nothing is worth doing"

and it *feels* so convincing. Like, it doesn't feel like oh my body is having a hard time and this is affecting my other systems in a depressive way, it *feels like* all of the reasons for me being lame are suddenly more valid and important and i'm just now seeing the light

and i keep wanting to go around asking people for validation and emotional support, and then my crazybrain keeps being terrified that if i do they will all dislike me more cause i'm being needy and weak. I cant wait till i can start normal life again i'm going insane

Going through medical shite sucks. My commiseration and heartfelt sympathies. Have you observed yet how when you’re in the midst of illness it’s nearly impossible to vividly recall how “normal” health felt? The good news is that illness tends to boost one’s EQ post recovery? ❤️‍🩹

I appreciate the interesting questions you post on Twitter! You're pretty intelligent and have interesting takes on stuff, and you are enjoyable to discuss things with, even though we often disagree.
