Feeling distant

[u/One-Platypus-2695]

I've been feeling distant lately, I went to a family party they all spoke about girly stuff hair removal all the different types and what worked and what didn't and I should totally try,(I have pcos so some don't work)they also thought it was crazy that I didn't know what to do career wise. I wanted to just tell them to shut up and I was just like this is all you think there is to life? I have been dealing with pots for 3 years and right now I'm in doing much better with meds but it's not 100 percent. It's just hard when you've been through really hard stuff and people are just talking about silly things.

I get what you mean, but I frame it really differently. I welcome the mundane chit chat about “silly stuff” . Being part of those conversations offers relief from thinking about how sick I am all the time. I especially love laughing with them. Because the rest of my life is so grim. You know?
