crazy how likely you are to end up sick in some way in your lifetime

[muu]

it's really wild to me, honestly... the more i think about it, the more surprised i am. i think me probably getting a sjogrens diagnosis is

everyone these days has something wrong with them, physically or mentally. i think that's partially why so many people commit suicide, but that's another point.

how many of you guys have a family member other than yourself that has health issues or mental health issues? probably most of you, right?

when i was growing up, sure i was sad, but i had such a clear view that "oh, i'm gonna be healthy for so long! people don't start getting really sick until they are like, 80, or unless they were born with it!" you were so wrong little me

my sister had some mental health issues but those seem so silly in comparison to the health issues i face now. and my own sad teenager times feel silly and stupid. none of the other family members i know have health issues as severe as mine.

oh wow, i'm in a similar boat as you! it's so hard to be the only person in your family that's suffering so severely. it's so isolating!

i would rather my mental health issues be out of control and miserable than be miserable physically. so many people take their health for granted when in reality they are probably going to be in a similar spot soon. it's just a matter of time.

i hope your issues get better. if you ever need someone to talk to about them, my dms are open. much love! ^_^<3
