I love MFW (my face when) reaction gif blogs, so here’s mine. 😉

My body whenever I don’t perfectly balance every aspect of my life:

When I’m trying to function while sick/drugged vs. on a good day:

MFW I think I’ve finally joined the world of the living:

When you’ve completely forgotten social graces:

When your illness/latest surgery/medication comes up at a family gathering:

When you start to enjoy being a hermit:

When you decide to eat something delicious that you know will make you feel bad:

The aftermath of that decision:

When you use your precious energy stores to go out with friends but it turns out to be super lame:

When you see your doctor and he asks what your health goals are:

Your doctor’s response:

When you covertly try to take medicine while eating:

When you can tell your illness is about to flare up and someone asks what’s wrong:

When you suggest an approach to treatment you’ve researched well and feel would be a good fit, and your doctor’s just like:

When you try to politely cancel plans while your body falls apart:

When you’re actually feeling pretty well for a while, and have no excuse when you f*** up:

When you inevitably discover your spirit animal is…

When people are too excited to relate to you when they find out you have chronic illness:

When someone actually succeeds in being helpful to you while you’re sick:

When you’re on your way to the ER:

When people start trying to figure out what you did to get a chronic illness:

When you step out of your home into the public realm:

When you can stay calm during your health disasters:

When you find a friend who loves you, illness and all:

And when you get to enjoy things twice as much as healthy people because you’ve been down so long:
