#I hate chronic pain

as someone who has experienced chronic pain since childhood, I hate feeling like I have to push myself past my limits and make myself physically sick so that the able-bodied people around me will stop viewing me as lazy
I will be in pain feeling like every single nerve in my body is slowly constricting and my spine is breaking in half.. STRUGGLING to keep up with those around me. I'm always expected to "adjust" to the pain.
I am told that I have to wait and rest later.
I am told to take some ibuprofen and it'll stop.
I am given stories about able-bodied peoples pain and how if they can push through, so can I- like it's the same thing.
I am asked what I was diagnosed with, almost as if not having one makes my experience fake.I haven't been diagnosed, the doubt washes across their faces.
I'm told by doctors that there's nothing wrong with me, maybe I'm having an anxiety attack or am about to start my period.
I push through the pain. my skin is sweating, my breath is shallow yet heavy at the same time. blackness clouds my vision as I struggle to stand up. I think I might pass out. I think I might throw up.
I tell someone how I'm feeling. I am told to push through. I am told that it's not as bad as I think.
I am dramatic, lazy, a liar trying to get out of work.
I am told if everyone else can come and do their work, so can I.
I wobble home, the muscles in my body aching like they're being shredded apart.
I lie in my bed, the radiating burn flows throughout my body, I cannot move. I cannot breathe. I cannot think. I barely exist.
I cry, dreading the end of the night. I know that I'm too weak to do it again tomorrow. I know that I can't. I can hardly move, like I've lost control of my body.
but I will be expected to "push through the pain" over, and over, and over.
I question myself.
I wake up, and do it all again.
hell is neverending-

i hate being in pain my mom says that once i start taking my supplements and meds the pain should lower but i don’t know how much i believe that i think it’ll help but i don’t know how much it’ll help i don’t care about being on a low level of pain all the time but i just need it to be manageable i woke up with my pain at a 5 or 6 and god i hate it i can’t take tylenol anymore bc of my liver being fucked or wtv but tylenol was the only thing that got my pain down somewhat and i don’t have a can or crutches or anything which fucking sucks bc in place of that i have to use wtv there is a wall a a chair sometimes i have ti hold onto my mom or my sister bc the pain doesn’t help stabilize my body which already isn’t the most stable to start with i just want to all to stop dude this fucking sucks i fuckign hate it

Seriously the only thing that keeps me sane right now and stops me from just starting to cry and curse this life is reading fluffy gay fanfictions on AO3

Raise your hand if you have also been personally victimized by the barometric pressure changes 🥲

I am in pain so often that when I don't experience it, I panic and think my entire body has gone numb and there's something wrong LMAO
I just woke up and I was like... why am I not in excruciating pain... I must have pinched a nerve... or twisted something...
ma'am ?? pls don't panic your body is giving you a BREAK FOR ONCE PLS

Im so tired of hurting. Nearly every joint or bone in my body clicks, snaps, pops. I'm always hurting. I've always had bad self image and picture of myself, but recently it's been so much worse. I am in the middle of some mental health issues which is nothing new to me, but as of late my image seems to occupy most of my thoughts about myself. It's hard to walk, and move, and because of my anxiety and depression that makes it hard to go out. I feel disgusting in my own skin, and I feel like I can't do anything about it. I'm just constantly at a loss with myself, and it all just farther supports that thought that man, I'm only 26. I really don't want to live the rest of my life like this. Constantly in pain and not taken seriously. I feel like I'm drowning.

I love you people with shaky limbs. I love you people with motor tics. I love you people with leg problems. I love you people who use mobility aids. I love you people who have chronic muscle pain. I love you people with chronic muscle spasms. I love you people with foot problems. I love you people who have prosthetic limbs. I love you wheelchair users. I love you people who have more problems walking then what society consider “normal”. I love you people who have mobility issues.
