#chronic pain problems
I wonder how well my mental health would improve if my house were cleaned. But for my house to get cleaned my mental (and physical) health needs to improve. Yet when I say, "yeah I don't usually get around to cleaning certain parts of my house because of lack of motivation," suddenly you're the most disgusting person that they know.
In all honesty I don't have the energy to feed myself half the time Sally* why do you think I have the energy to clean my house? Why don't you offer me something that's actually helpful? Or at the very least pay for my therapy.
*Sorry to the Sallys reading this I don't mean you.

Me: *Turns on my touch lamp and it starts as the dim light setting.*
My head: AAAAA I see the blinding light of God's wrath! He has come to smite us!!! We shall perish before the night shall arive.

Hi
Uhm, ive been having some really bad pain lately. I have been having pain in my leg in my shin...ig? I forget the name of the bone. Yesterday I could barely walk and barely put any wait on it. It felt like it was going to split in half, diagonally. Anyways, ive come to the conclusion that I need a mobility device so this doesn't get worse. I need a cane. But idk what type of cane to get. I want something light wait and something not bulky as I will only use this every once and a while when I flare up.
I need suggestions from people who use canes or mobility devices. I used to wear a hip brace so ik a lil about mobility devices but not a lot.
(I'm not going to get it looked @ the moment @s I do not have the money to do so, I will get it looked @ when I am employed)
I would appreciate it alot if people would recommend things !!!
Thx !!!

How does one communicate to my best friends (their entire family is basically my found family at this point) that I can’t go over to their house if they constantly keep the house very heated?! Ive told them basically every time im over that I canNOT regulate my body temperature and it’s incredibly easy for me to overheat. My friends tend to run cold and constantly close windows and turn the heat on even after Ive told them why i need air flow. Its exhausting and im at a point where im only miserable trying to cool down every time im over. I dont want to be in shorts and a tanktop every time im over and need to stand on the front porch every time i overheat. Idk its so hard. Idk how to approach without hurting them. It is their house afterall. I just feel a bit disrespected and disregarded i guess. I try and communicate my needs as clearly as i can

I’m raising funds for an autism service dog 🐺🥄 I’m 25 and I have debilitating chronic pain & illness, on top of which my autism makes everything worse. I’m autistic and I’ve tried to end my life multiple times because of it. It also gets in the way of getting the medical care that I need. I’m bedridden, little to no support and in chronic isolation. I’m at the end of my rope, I’m asking for help because I cannot do this anymore. Any share, reblog or donation helps ❤️‍🩹

it is absurdly easy to downplay chronic pain. it is absurdly easy to say "oh well it's just a headache" "oh well it's just my back hurting" "oh well it's just my knee that hurts" "oh well it's just my wrists" you can keep justifying it away all day, even when you have multiple areas of your body that hurt.
it's never "just" this or "just" that. chronic pain should always, always be taken seriously and never belittled. never treated as "just" a little problem, "just" a little inconvenience. chronic pain is always a big deal, no matter how small you can make yourself think it seems.

The temperature dropped significantly in my city. It's something like 18° fahrenheit. My back is spasming, exhaustion is beating me up. If I want to eat as is I have to stand for a significant amount of time for dishes, and then I have to cook. I can't really stand up straight, or breathe well sitting up because of the pain
How TF am I supposed to do chores while in intense pain??
If anyone wants to take pity
[email protected] for p a y p a l. I've got a bunch of comms to do but I'm always willing to take more on

Chronic pain struggles of "I remember thinking about taking pain meds. Did I take them and they are just not working today or did I forget to follow through?"

Constantly torn between wanting to be seen as more than my symptoms, more than a problem that needs to be solved. More than someone who’s life is only pain and misery.
And also wanting to be taken seriously. Wanting it to be recognized that my pain affects my life and limits some things I can do.

Hi y'all!
I'm organizing a fundraiser so that I can afford a wheelchair.
I'm disabled (I do talk a lot about that on this blog) and I've never had one, but have been in need of one for a while. I have chronic pain and chronic fatigue, among other symptoms, and my lack of energy prevents me from getting around and doing the things I need to do. I'm often in so much pain that I skip meals, avoid going to the bathroom, etc. because I'll have to walk. Getting a wheelchair would help me immensely.
Any amount of money is greatly appreciated and will bring me closer to being able to get around the world.
Even if you cannot donate, please reblog or share in some other way. Anything you do is so so helpful for me and my family!
If you want, you can also send me money through paypal.

Someday I’ll get over my weird panic thing about doctors and needles and get blood work done and a doctor will get my results back and be like “holy fuck you’ve been living with untreated _____ and ______ this whole time how are you just now getting diagnosed are you okay??” and I’ll be like noo lol and then everyone that’s ever called me lazy will be suddenly struck by an all-consuming wave of guilt and shame <3 yay

Me, dealing with multiple flareups from my sundry and plaguing health issues: I should take care of myself! Im going to rest until I feel better, my teachers are all understanding and most of them dont have penalties for late work, i just have to get it in before the year ends!
The year ending in a month: 🫣
The stomach flu finding my weakass immune system: 😀
My ADHD: 😏
Me: Oh no! My class ends in 4 days and I havent done enough work in it yet to get the bare minimum to pass! I NEED to do my homework soon! Why Am I so Lazy?
