A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

People vastly underestimate the influence of chronic illness when it comes to adverse living situations
When you're struggling to be productive and work due to health reasons, society treats you like trash, and often won't give you the support you need. And this is a lot more common than people are willing to admit
As a formerly homeless person with some sort of chronic illness, yep.
I made it out, but the absolute anxiety of always falling back into poverty weighs heavy. I truly don't think I can do it again.
