can’t tell if I’ve posted something like this before but

the inherent fantasy and yearning for a Star Trek future when you’re someone who’s chronically ill and dealing with a particularly bad flare — something about the fantasy of being beamed into a starfleet medbay, given a hypospray, and feeling all the pain, discomfort, soreness, and all other flare symptoms melt away as futuristic utopian medicine makes you healthy again, maybe even getting rid of the chronic illness altogether, and being comforted by a softspoken doctor who will hold your hand and stay beside you until even the lingering exhaustion fades

*yearns*

#star trek #i am so tired you guys.#pain and soreness and spending half the night in the bathroom I am so exhausted #i literally long for this so much #i want a starfleet doctor to get rid of my chronic illness and help me feel better #imagine a life where sitting at a desk. eating food. etc does not feel like colossal hurdles where you’re absolutely exhausted… what even #i’m just. so tired #*yearns in trek*#personal #the thing about fluctuating chronic illnesses too is that some days you’re passably ‘normal person’ and then other days it’s like #literally sitting at your desk and eating one (1) light meal is a stress inducing exhausting ordeal and I just. some people really are out #there living life and not dealing with this? wild. what is that like.#also the inherent fantasy of a post scarcity society where when you’re dealing with a flare you can just. y’know. not need fo work that day #if only 🥲🥲#don’t mind my rambles I am just in pain and tired and sore and trying to work through the power of ginger tea and fantasizing about trek #cries #where is cmo dr julian bashir when you need him
