Dear people who don’t understand chronic illness/invisible disabilities –
* believe me when I say I’m too exhausted to absorb what you are saying or discuss something complex
* believe me when I say I’m too tired to put away groceries or walk to something a block away
* understand that things that take you trivial amounts of energy can be exhausting for me
* BELIEVE ME
