Sometimes, when you’re chronically ill, you have to do things that seem “selfish.” You can’t do favors for anyone else because you don’t have the energy. You have to take that last seat on the subway instead of leaving it for someone else. You might have to apply for public assistance because you can’t work anymore. You’ll definitely have to ask the people around you for a lot more help than you used to need. 

That’s all OK. You shouldn’t feel guilty about any of it. You’re not selfish, you’re sick.
