You are watching everyone else take 18+ credits, work part time, run 3 campus organizations, and still have time to party. But all you feel is
When you have to walk to class at 8 am but you can't find enough layers to wear to compensate for your lack of temperature control
When you are trying to follow the lecture on a brain fog day
When you go to a party and try to dance without triggering symptoms
Everyone is double fisting beers and you're over here with your Gatorade
Wearing literally anything to hide your compression socks/tights
When you have to explain how your flare ups work to healthy people
When you realize just how wheelchair inaccessible your campus is
When your midterms and flare ups sync up
And you don't even know how to answer this question
Or when you have to explain your symptoms
Your health center has never heard of your illness
And then people give advice on how to cure your CHRONIC illness
But their advice could not be any more moronic
When you have to sit down immediately, no matter where you are, or you will faint
When you have to start explaining your condition on a date
And you realize that finding a date who can handle you AND your illness is impossible
And people in the dining hall think you're crazy for how much salt you eat
And the ever-embarrassing, fainting in class
But you're getting through, one semester at a time
