Truly spoken like someone so privileged with good health they don't even know what a chronic disability is.

Imagine being this ignorant about chronic pain that you think it's a product of moral failure. Imagine thinking that doctors treat chronic pain sufferers like anything but drug seekers. Imagine picking up a prescription is so easy you never had to see your pharmacist give you a dirty look or even deny you medications because they think you don't 'look like you're in pain'.

Nothing makes us want to kill ourselves more than hearing the 'just diet and exercise duh' people pretend to know what a fraction of being in pain every living second is like.
