I’m mixed with her. On the one hand I feel for her, she’s using Instagram as a distraction which I can relate to. I did the same myself a couple of years ago. I wasn’t an influencer but I had a kind of hobby that I shared on Instagram and it helped for a while.
I’m too ill for it all now.
I can also empathise with the poster above, I can’t work for various health reasons, it must be hard seeing what she shows on the gram, even if she is ill. When you have no choice but to work. My fiancé works full time, we have a mortgage to pay and just get by.
I just think Instagram can be so problematic, there’s so many little pockets of communities. The chronic illness community isn’t somewhere I want to be part of either. There’s a lot of comparison and competition, who’s more ill, who has it worse.
I do feel for her and there’s a lot worse on Instagram. I’d say I think it’s sad but if it wasn’t for my family my life would be quite sad too.
