chronically
Over and over
Chronically means in a persistent, long-lasting way.
Medical conditions are chronic when they continue indefinitely rather than resolving quickly: chronically ill, chronic pain.
The word extends to any ongoing problem: chronically underfunded schools, chronically late.
In casual speech, chronically emphasizes frequency or severity: I'm chronically online, chronically exhausted.
