Not all illnesses are visible. Here's what it's like to be on disability with an invisibleillness: chronicillness
Being on disability is no walk in the park. It’s a struggle both emotionally and financially. When you are already dealing with a battle inside that no one else can see or feel, it’s just added stress when your spoons are all used up.
I am on disability because I have rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and along with these debilitating diseases comes the emotional and mental struggle of anxiety and depression, which makes basic everyday life difficult enough already.Brain fog and pain make it difficult to concentrate. Add in side effects of medications that can cause cognitive dysfunction and sometimes I just really have trouble thinking.
True: Just because you know someone else with arthritis who can work doesn’t mean every case is the same.Even if you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not real. I am not “too young” for it. There are 4.6 million Canadians alone with a form of arthritis, and that’s only those who have been diagnosed. Approximately 350 million people worldwide have arthritis.If you say that then you haven’t really been listening to what I’ve been saying.
