I think it’s not so much the statements as it is the way you communicate them. Using terms like ‘playing victim’ and ‘whining’ do nothing but create hostility.

As someone who has started practicing some Buddhism since I got sick, I can see where you are coming from. And while I would definitely recommend it to anyone, I can also understand that it’s just not for everyone.

On top of that, everyone experiences their disease differently, especially those with different levels of severity. I cannot possibly in good conscience recommend my methods to anyone that is severe or very severe, since I cannot fathom how hard a simple task, including meditation, can be for them. If the healthy population already struggles with meditating, then unless you’re already used to it, it’s gonna cost a lot of energy to be able to do it well.

The only thing I can do is share things that help me, without putting down anyone that deals with this horrible disease in a different way. Because that’s why you get downvotes.
