#1 I pack on the morning of my trip, and I rarely have a lot of dirty laundry. I've packed this suitcase so many times by now, I can do this half asleep if I have to. I simply refuse to let travel stress creep into the days before the actual travel.

#9 Chronic fatigue syndrome here. It's funny how even when people don't say these things directly, you still feel it. I think this internal dialog, for me, HAS TO come from the medical profession because they have been the only people (outside of family) that I interact with for years. Being constantly told to exercise, when exercise permanently worsens my condition is exhausting.
(I had surgery and exercise is possible for me again. Hurray!)
youngfarty
Congratulations!
And yes, I firmly believe it comes from the medical profession/industry. They just cannot fathom someone having any issue that they don't understand or can't point at or struggle to cure.

#1 confitmed. I just toss my stuff in a bag and then i wait for my wife to get in the car with all yhe other bags of stuff we apparently need on this trip.

I used to make sure at the laundry was done ahead of time so I didn't have to hear my ex husband bitch about not have clean clothes, I also packed myself 2 weeks in advance and a basic bag for him that he added stuff too.

#1 My wife and I have been attacked
Snooj
My wife has been attacked. Me and my pre-packed luggage for my trip next week are doing fine.
Misora
I was gonna say my bf pretty much is my luggage for the trip. I research it, plan it, organize it, buy all the tickets, and prepack and that morning he'll be like 'so where are we going again"? Surprisingly before we dated he never actually traveled much. He's just along for the ride but I enjoy the company.
jejorda2
I thought my kids were extremely different- 0 and 100 on a scale. Then I led a scout group and was exposed to more kids. I realized my kids were at about 30 and 40, and focusing on their differences made them seem extreme. I imagine any two people will feel like their small differences are extreme at times.
fightkostka6
#2 don't even joke about that, the little shit got me on operating table twice
NooPogodi
For real
al3xinw0nderland0000
hey I have one of those getting to that severity right now! I'm cleaning and using antiseptic despite OUCH, any other random internet advice?
fightkostka6
Go to the surgeon, if it's bad he will only clean it, that's not that bad. You can put it in hot water with salt, but that's all to numb the pain, only thing you can do is to trim correctly your nails so it never happens again. If it does go to a surgeon and he will fix it for good. The pain and the risk of loosing whole leg because it will go untreated and infected is not worth the wait. My last one had to be done right that day or I would risk loosing my foot because I was pushing the visit
NappaTheFriendlyGhost
The first time I saw the needle they said would be used to numb my toe I was dumbfounded at why they would use something so long. Then they put it in the front of my big toe and it went ALL the way in. Not a pain I’ll ever forget.
quintessentialrob
As someone who had ingrown toenails a lot as a teenager, I had to go and get them cut out the first time. Went to the doctor. He gave me the shot twice and asked if it was numb. It was not. He said, well hold on and just went after it. Almost squeezed my dad to death as he held me down on the table.
Turns out I'm resistant to most local anesthesia. Had a similar issue with a doctor cutting me to remove infection on my chest due to an ingrown hair. Shit sucks, but now I know.
LP81
10,000% the worst pain I've ever felt in my live was the local anesthetic for ingrown toenail surgery...
N9inb0x
That is a horrific thought and I'm feeling nauseous from just thinking about needles. I already have a phobia of them as it is and this isn't helping lol. But I'm so sorry you went through that- I never really thought that even though I knew they could get infected, for some reason I never considered that it could get THAT bad.
fightkostka6
For me, I got normal needle, but at five places. The first was the worst, like my thumb was blowing up like a balloon. The other 4 were easier but really didn't want to do it ever again
supervillin
Sounds like they could use a pre-numbing numbing procedure.
SometimesIJust
They didn’t for me and that needle numbing process was so insanely painful! Way worse than the actual procedure!
JaceTiger
#9 I mean, I have said that first panel to someone before. "the bathroom is literally right there. You have to make an effort and not throw up all over yourself. At the very least, throw up in the trash can that I put right there. Also, I told you not to eat the meat that was 'best if used by ' 2 weeks ago."
ArcaneM37
This seems fair.
imaginaryPeppers
The last person is actually looking happy to be unconcious
ArcaneM37
I think it is supposed to be a feeding tube or nasal cannula for oxygen, but it def reads as a little smirk.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Also the last panel *does* basically get said to people with chronic fatigue.
ExTechOp
All of those things get said to people with "non-visible" issues, that's the whole point.
youngfarty
I think that might actually be the point of the comic. These all appear to be the kinds of things said to individuals with more "controversial" diseases, like mental illness, cfs/me, fibromyalgia... any invisible disability. So the artist appears to be pointing out the absurdity of those comments by swapping in "uncontroversial" illnesses like the flu, or a bleeding wound, or a coma.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I assumed it was for ADHD because imgur has so many posts about it pointing out that it's a real medical condition like any other. Doctors don't even believe that about chronic fatigue. :(
alexburgers
As someone with clinical depression, I've heard all of these and more. Most aggrevating is when people want me to waste energy on excercise when I barely have the energy to physically keep myself alive.
youngfarty
I'm so sorry that is happening to you. It's not fair, and it's not right.
alexburgers
Yeah, it's not great no. You kinda learn to just smile and nod when you get the very 'helpful' advice that people give. Because they do genuinely want to help, but they clearly don't understand, and I'm glad for it, that means at least they don't suffer the same fate.
skrimg59
i struggle with clinical depression and most days i barely have enough energy to keep myself alive, although i do exercise and it gives me energy and also makes me feel better.
i’m not suggesting that you do the same or that it will work for you; but, as counterintuitive as it may seem, it can help some people and maybe the people that say it to you are genuinely trying to help instead of belittling/not acknowledging your condition. might be worth trying for a week. but (1/2)
skrimg59
but if it’s not for you, then fuck em, and i hope that you find a method of helping to cope with the seemingly insurmountable task of just making it through the day.
i’m wishing the best for you and i hope your suffering subsides, if only for the weekend. i love to crank the a/c, curl up in bed- in sweatpants, an oversized long sleeve shirt, fuzzy socks, a nest of pillows, and just ignore the world & everything in it for 2 days. feel better <3

#9 I'm a diabetic with ADHD. Without insulin I die, without stimulants I don't function. People tell me on a regular basis that I would be better off if I just changed my lifestyle and tried harder cause then I could ditch the insulin and stimulants. Even when I tell them insulin isn't optional they still throw out a "Well my grandma's cousin's niece's husband's sister in law stopped using insulin when they changed their diet." It's infuriating and happens all the time.
lemmensalex3
I hear you. I'm born with a incurable disease and the shit people tell me is nerve wracking. Some even dare to play the blame game. I'M BORN WITH IT, FUCKTARDS.
AimingForAdorkable
I feel ya. Some people are insufferable idiotic pricks.
I think they say that nonsense, in order to [falsely] give themselves a sense of superiority.
CommanderKitten
"Oh you take ADHD medication every day? Ohmygosh how awful for you! I bet you'd rather be healthy and not take pills every day, huh? Have you tried just getting into a routine of not being lazy? Or have you tried making ToDo lists and just really sticking to them? Did you get the vaxx? Cut out gluten? Just try harder? Eat more gluten? Getting a planner, maybe?"
VayaKahvi
Todo lists give me anxiety! I at least found a bit of a work around, which is a task quota, I first figure out what counts as tasks, then when I get one done I mark the calendar, five is base, ten is good, fifteen is great, and twenty gets me twenty bucks; I can do what ever I want to fill the quota.
AimingForAdorkable
“Have you tried JUST DOING the things? Have you tried just concentrating more? Have you tried using your willpower?”
Ughhhhhhh
Of course I have, but it isn’t a matter of willpower.
mithiwithi
Tragically, too many of the people we show this comic to will say to panel 4 "But that's different". No it fucking isn't different at all, you just think it's different because you can see the medical issue in the other panels and you can't see it in panel 4.
AimingForAdorkable
“Ok, but have you tried ✨yoga and meditation ✨?
I saw a YouTube video that says it solves every illness. Really, it’s all about the mindset that you CHOOSE to have. I think you’re choosing to be sick because you secretly like it…”
((((( /s. please don’t die vote me to hell. I want to slap the people who say this stuff)))))
AimingForAdorkable
Edit cuz autocorrect sucks: *please don’t downvote me to hell
AsheLake
Reminds me of how Christian Scientism was founded by an actual hypochondriac who decided that basically all illness was exactly as real as the ones she imagined she’d had, and therefore everyone else who was sick just had to pray about it. Then of course it turned into an assertion that seeking real medical help demonstrated a lack of faith, and it became a cult with real political power that has left its marks on our health policy in the US that have lasted to this day.
MermaidLullaby
The fucked up thing for me is that in our communities we DO get people who are desperately trying to convince themselves they have diabetes (they don't). Also a ton of type 2s who think that being on meds means they've failed and didn't try hard enough or enough different things. Society sucks so much with this. :/ Nobody who's healthy chooses to get or be or remain sick with a chronic illness. That's.... why it's an illness lol.
Rhythmaster
I had chronic pain in my hands wrists and arms for like 10 years, and once I had someone tell me I was only in pain because I was "choosing to make pain part of my identity". I wanted to slap them so hard.
ImAWeirdMom
I was going to say that.
My thyroid medicine isn't as immediately lifesaving, but they even tell me I shouldn't take it and should just eat a diet that's very bland that doesn't actually help it.
But I've definitely seen the insulin one in real life more than once. Including a friend who went into a diabetic coma for like a week, while she was recovering.
MermaidLullaby
I've experienced it so much in so many forms. Including 'if you went vegan you'd be insulin free' as well as 'if you went keto/carnivore you'd be insulin free'. People have no fucking clue and just think it's all a choice.
youngfarty
My doctor took me off my thyroid meds when I lost weight, insinuating that now I could control my hypothyroidism with diet and exercise? Like, buddy, it doesn't work like that! It took me years to switch providers so I could get back on them. Sometimes, I wonder how much damage was done to my heart in that time, all because my doctor couldn't be bothered to care. And how, if I die of heart disease, people will assume it is because I was fat.
ExTechOp
They don't know about the different types of diabetes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes
MermaidLullaby
Man if I told you most medical professionals don't even know that there are more than a few types you'd combust lol. Fun facts: type 1 has type 1a and type 1b as subtypes, where 1b reports antibody negative. And it's estimated that up to 20-25% of type 2 diabetics are actually MODY or LADA but labeled as 'poorly controlled' and 'insulin dependent'. A smaller percentage is likely 3c.
Snooj
I can tell you with absolute authority that most people think "Diabetes" means "you ate too much sugar and got fat and now you have to stop eating so much or take insulin". That's it. That's the whole disease.
Snooj
And to be clear, I say "absolute authority" because I am Type 1 and when I tell people they are so confused because I am fairly thin and healthy. Also, for some reason, it didn't develop until my 40s so I got Type 1 on a Type 2 schedule. But I still have to talk to people about it because they are confused. "Guess you shouldn't have eaten all those cookies!" they say.
ExTechOp
It could be worse, in addition to your LADA you could also develop type 2 and then you'd have double diabetes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_diabetes

#5 went to a burger place once that put pickles on every burger even if the menu didn't list pickles in the ingredients. Like, who the fuck does that. Do you like remaking food because I can't pick vinegar out of the bun.
bikergeek6249
the worst is mayo, which I absolutely cannot stand. when did mayo become a default burger condiment, such that you have to ask for it to be left off? and half the time when you ask for "no mayo" they fuck up and put it on anyway.

#1 My job used to be about 50% travel and I got used to packing about 10 minutes before I had to leave. Everything was already where it needed to be, I just had to slap it in a suitcase and go.
The one thing I learned early is that most people take WAY too much shit with them when they travel.
LostCaterpillar
I've observed two mentalities when packing for a trip.
1) We'll be traveling, let me find everything I can get away with removing and
2) We have X amount of space, let me find everything I can fit in there.
quietwalker
Yep. I'm in the #1 camp, wife is in #2. We regularly have to unpack a bag that's become overweight and pay for a third or more bags, even when it was just the two of us. Now with our kids ... It's a good thing they've upset me enough I won't go on vacation with them again.
SarcasticComment
Also. I came from a "we will never do wash on vacation" family. I became a the unit has a washing machine, we'll do a load mid week.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I had doubles of all my toiletries and just left them packed. All I had to do was pack clean clothes and my devices, and I was done.
quietwalker
My toiletries are all in a toiletries bag. I just slap it on the counter, unzip, and it's got most of what I need and I operate out of it. I might have to put the shaver in, or maybe top off one of the medicines, but that's most of it. Zip & go. It's even got a hook on it so I can just hang it up (zipped up, of course).
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I hated travelling so I didn't want to live out of luggage at home. Plus I had all my full-size toiletries anyway, might as well use them. Then I don't have to refill the travel bottles so often. I'm a woman so there's makeup, hair stuff, I was in front of customers so I had to meet the expectations for a woman to look "professional", which are pretty high.
quietwalker
I'm a guy so it was just deodorant, toothpaste & brush, hair gel, razor, shave soap, shave brush, and some various pills (allergy through headache and tummy aches) and a bottle of pepto bismal, and a comb.
It's not like I'm going camping. The hotel will have soaps, shampoos, and stores around will have everything else. If you don't absolutely know you'll need it, don't bother. You can always get it on site.
I understand that some people have a lot more makeup though.
