My ADHD meds have been out of stock for like 2 weeks now and I’m at the stage of being unmedicated where I start getting the urge to undertake new, slightly dangerous hobbies. I have 4 wood carving tutorials open on my phone and there’s a whittling knife in my amazon cart RIGHT NOW. It’s only a matter of time before my resolve crumbles.

Out of my ADHD medication rn and I’m trying to work and oh my god this is impossible. I feel like the gummy bears from that fucking 2000s song are having a party in my skull and they’re using my grey matter as a bean bag chair and they keep pouring Hennessy shots into my brain wrinkles

So I’ve been on Celebrex for like 3 1/2 months now, had to stop taking it recently because it was giving me some GNARLY nausea and oh boy. Oh goodness. I did not realize HOW MUCH Celebrex was helping me until I had to stop taking it entirely.
Like it wasn’t completely curing me or anything, I was still having constant joint pain and fatigue, but it made my symptoms… semi-manageable? Kinda? Like I truly forgot just HOW bad it felt to have my pain go untreated.
Luckily after my last intense flare up I made sure to really build my work schedule around my pain and prepare things to run on their own incase I needed to take it easy for a while but holy shit. I feel Very Bad™️ right now.

Bad news: My furnace is broken.
Good news: The landlord sent over a repair guy to fix it.
Bad news: The fix he did was temporary and the new part we need to fix it for real won’t be here till next week.
Good news: They sent over the hot repair guy.
Bad news: I did not know they were sending over the hot repair guy. I am wearing pajama pants and a gap sweatshirt my grandma bought me 3 years ago. I was not prepared for the hot repair guy.

Anyway don’t be like me, listen to your body and take breaks when you need to. That goes for stuff other than exercising too, like if you’re doing any type of activity and you feel your brain and body start to be like “heeeeeeeey can we slow down?” That’s a sign that you should take a breather, or dial it back, or whatever. Knowing how and when to listen to your body is your most important tool to manage your symptoms.
It’s also an important tool to help you like. Be a happier, chiller person.
Yet again stuck in the pattern of
Works out to help my fatigue -> experiences joint pain because I was too rough -> takes a day to rest because of my joint pain -> experiences fatigue because I haven’t been working out -> works out to help my fatigue -> becomes the chronically ill equivalent of Sisyphus, trapped in a self inflicted loop of being tired and achey all the time

It really sucks when my symptoms have been mostly manageable for like 2 weeks straight and then out of nowhere fatigue just hits me like a sack of bricks. Like at least it’s happening on my day off so I don’t have to worry about work but like. Damn dude it was really nice being a functioning person for a while, not enjoying the possibility of another flare up happening rn and wrecking my ass for the next week and a half.

Been playing Ring Fit adventure and this tooltip is so funny to me
Tumblr media
Me: What exercise advice will you give me today, Ring Fit? Maybe something about staying hydrated? The importance of good posture? Listening to your body to avoid pushing yourself too far?
Ring Fit Adventure: Hey, you ever worry about getting too MONSTROUSLY JACKED????

Okay, fellow disabled folks who get hot flashes, does anyone have any ACTUAL advice for dealing with them? Every time I try to look it up Google thinks I’m a 60 year old post menopausal woman and tells me to call my grandkids and use a fucking douche or something

Bro the pizza is irrelevant, what matters is that you know you have inherent worth as a human being and that you deserve to be loved regardless of how productive you are or how hard you work. What matters is that you know YOU matter dude, like fr on god
Also yeah if you could pass me that last cheese slice that would be rad as hell actually
Dude for real though your worth as a human being is not dependent on how productive or “useful” you are. You could do nothing but lay in bed all today and you’d still be worthy of respect and care. Bro you are a living breathing human being and your life has inherent value. Like straight up you don’t have to do something impossible or world changing with your time on earth in order for you to matter. We are all specks of dust in the cosmos and the fact that you exist at all means you are important. Dude you don’t have to earn the right to live bro, like I swear bro, like no cap.

THANK YOU THATS WHAT IM SAYING. LIKE. Your life matters because EVERY life matters. Because you are a living thing and your experience and existence has inherent value.
And you GOTTA fucking remember that, okay??? Like I know it’s easy to forget sometimes but I swear, you are not worthless, you will never be worthless, because you are a person and that means something and it always will. Being unable or unwilling to do certain things does not make your life less valuable than anyone else’s. Life is life, mothefucker.
