Chronic illness can quietly, but deeply, put a strain on relationships. Many healthy people don’t realize just how much energy even basic tasks can demand from us. What feels like a small task or routine to you, such as doing the dishes, taking a short trip to the store, or going to a birthday party, can drain us for the rest of the day or longer. Yet we’re constantly pushing through symptoms like fatigue, pain, brain fog, dizziness… often all at once. And yet, we still show up as much as we can. We help around the house. We attend the graduation, the dinner, the family event. We smile, make conversation, try to be present. Because we want to. Because we care. But some days… we just don’t have it in us. We might not be able to get out of bed, let alone clean or run errands. Maybe we cancel plans last minute. Maybe we seem distant. Maybe we’re just too exhausted to talk. To our loved ones, it might seem like we aren’t giving enough, they may think all we did today was laundry, but to us, that was a marathon. To us, it feels like we’re giving everything we have and still disappointing others. It can also become frustrating because we just want others to understand but we know how hard that can be. That disconnect can be painful. If you love someone with a chronic illness, please know, we are trying. More than you can see.

Disabled people across the country were already terrified of the impact Reeves's cuts will have on them - and now she's set to announce more? This is unconscionable. This government must change course immediately, and tax wealth to repair our broken economy.

#SpringStatement this is my 36 year old brother, non verbal brother whose benefits you want to cut… didn’t choose a lifetime of needing care and support. #RachelReeves is a massive cunt, and I hope when she reaches the other side, she will burn in the pits of hell. Fuck her, and fuck labour. 🤬🤬🤬

The mental and emotional toll of the DWP PIP cuts is unprecedented for disabled people Labour knows disabled people face challenges financially with the 'disability mark-up' - yet they are inflicting this torture anyway, says @Hunt2Ruth #WelfareNotWarfare thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

Labour are not only inhumane and cruel but they are also less importantly incredibly f’ing stupid. They are doing everything to get annihilated in the next election.
