If you can’t help, do no harm.

Being chronically ill is overwhelming and all consuming, The last thing

needed is your judgement, your commentary, or your criticism. Neither

is, comments like, It’s not that bad, you not trying to get better, it’s all in

your mind, or you’re lazy, needed. What‘s needed is your prayers, love in

action, some food and kindness. If you have to make these comments

and devalue another person‘s suffering your presence isn’t needed. Words can help, or they can hurt and affect people mentally, which affect

people physically. Remember your struggle might not be a chronic

illness, but you will still want prayers love and kindness, for whatever

struggle you have.
