introducing mental health tips from ableds including such timeless classics as 'engage in some light exercise like a 10k run,' 'try and maintain a positive environment by cleaning your entire house from top to bottom,' and 'read this 500 page book in its entirety even though your brain fog is so bad you can hardly get through the first sentence!'
#.txt#spoonie#disabled#chronically ill#chronic illness#chronic pain posting#chronic pain#listen. i know i'm sounding defeatist here. but if another fucking able bodied person with depression tells me to turn my phone off 4 hours#before bedtime to maintain good sleep hygiene when it's pretty much the only thing distracting me from my pain i'm gonna throw it at them#someone the other day said sleep hygiene as a concept is for ableds. i'd like to add that most mental health advice is aimed at ableds#'call your friend and have a 9-hour conversation about what's bothering you :)' fr i can barely keep my head upright rn. let alone maintain#a proper conversation. so thank you for that#i'm gonna post some lil things that help my mental health as a disabled person later on in the week bc i'm tired of the ableism which will#include things like 'instead of wearing the same tracksuit bottoms you've been wearing for four days with the same top you've been wearing#for four days why not switch your top out for something that you like to wear' and leave it at that#which like. i know isn't even possible for every disabled person so igi. everyone's disability looks different#n if you're someone who is disabled who vibes with getting fresh air or cleaning their immediate area to improve their mental health that's#awesome n power to you etc. it's just not a luxury that many of us have ig#idk this is a conversation that we can have nuanced takes on i reckon#i know some spoonies love audiobooks and podcasts to rest or for leisure but i can't focus on shit without my mind wandering back to my pai#so like. i know i'm not the only one here lol#disability

from day one of you two dating, kugo made his admiration of your determination to work very clear. it was very important to him that his partner understood the importance of work and why it was, at times, harder for him to straighten out his work vs home priorities.
past partners had expected this luxurious, attention-filled life, but it just wasn't the reality of his work. he wasn't really home, and when he was, he was doing digital work. running a hero agency as the #12 hero took a lot more than saving a couple people a day, so his partner would have to accept that though they didn't come second, there would be times where work had to take priority. and you not only understood that, but lived in the same world as it.
because of this, though, he was also placed in the same position of those past partners. and god, now he realized how wearing it was emotionally.
this man loved you. you two were in it for the long, long, long run, so to see you work your health away made his heart ache terribly. it inspired him, actually, to give in and hire more employees soley devoted to paperwork so he didn't put the same worry up for you.
the problem of your restless nights still continued, though. you worked yourself to the bone everyday, all day. since you worked from home, from the minute you were up to the second you were forced to tap out, you were working. kugo would be in bed first after getting home, assuring you ate dinner, and getting ready for bed. you'd normally go to bed about half an hour after him and he'd be able to soothe you to sleep.
they weren't healthy hours, but he was glad you weren't fighting the sleep too much.
one night, though, you threw up a big middle finger to your body's needs. your boss had added more to your workload. you were far too close to a promotion (MY DUMBASS WROTE "upgrade" FIRST DJDNEKE) to stop now. you took it on, promising you'd knock out at least half before the next day.
you woke up, made coffee, helped kugo prepare his lunch, and then started on your work. he wasn't even out the door when you were in your first virtual meeting of the day which started ramping up his concern.
you went through several meetings, moving around the house at times to try and stay as comfortable as possible so you could get your work done effeciently.
you'd forgotten to eat, though, running on coffee and pure will. and fear of losing your job. your partner got home at around 10pm, walking up to where you were taking your seat at the breakfast bar in your kitchen. he made sure you knew he was there before hugging you from behind.
"darling?" he looked at your computer screen. "still working, dear?"
"mmhm..." you leaned back into his chest, but didn't pause your reading. "i ordered in ikayaki." you quickly gestured to the paper bag on the table. "it shouldn't be cold yet, it came in ten minutes ago."
he toom notice of the lack of utensils out and dishes in the sink. "have you eaten yet?"
"later."
"darling..." he let out a gentle sigh and pulled away. he didn't try moving you away from your work, instead opting to prepare your plate and setting it next to your laptop. "i understand how important today's work is in particular, but your health should always be your primary concern. i'll eat with you, too." he sat next to you without invading your space, not expecting a reply and not at all bothered when those expectations were met. he was happy when you ate some of your dinner, but found himself lost in worry again when he'd finished and you seemed to forget your own was there in the first place. "i'll be right back." he stood and went to get ready for bed.
after his shower and usual night routine, he went back to you to see thst you'd completely abandoned dinner and returned to your coffee. "isn't it a bit late for coffee?"
"almost done. couple more documents." he just hummed in understanding before taking his place on the couch a few feet away. something just didn't feel right. you were far less respondent than usual, and you were typing a lot faster. you were anxiously focused on the work at hand.
also, turns out "couple more" meant an entire large file's worth. kugo himself had started drifting off when he noticed you taking a break. he stood when he realized it was too the medicine cabinet.
"sweetheart?"
"headache," you whispered, more to yourself. the lights just seemed brighter, and your laptop looked kinda blurry. your head was started to pulse painfully.
"you've had a lot of caffeine." he didn't have to see every cup you put down to know. "and im assuming you haven't had a proper meal today. that paired with hardly any amount of break time is a recipe for extreme discomfort." he helped you read the pain medication and got out a safe dose for your headache. he grabbed a waterbottle, too, and handed it to you. "you can finish dinner in bed."
"kugo." you took the medication and water. "i need to finish this file."
"you need to rest. you've been pushing yourself extremely hard these past few months and your body can't handle so much stress. please." he let you take the pills before touching his nose to your head. "i don't go in to the agency tomorrow. i can help you catch up in the morning, and then we can go to lunch together, hm?" it's been quite a while since you two'd been on a date.
you toom a while and considered your options. you were about to decline, but then another wave of violent pulsing hit. you sighed out shakily and closed your eyes to block out the agitating kitchen lights. "yeah um... can-can you save my document before turning the laptop off, please?"
he agreed and did so. he also picked you up while you were on your way to the bedroom. you didn't jump or push. this wasn't uncommon for you two, and neither was his pokite question of whether or not he had permission to help you get dressed into your pajamas. once you were ready for bed, he even tucked you in before making sure the home's security system was set.
once everything was ready, he went back to the bed and climbed in with you. the bed dipped significantly which you took as your sign to move to basically lay on top of him he loved it when you did that, though.
"feeling better, dear?" he ran a hand up and down your back to try and ease your obvious nerves.
"mh... my head..."
it was a long night. with the way your head was hurting, it took hours and hours for you to be able to rest at all. in the morning, though, he allowed you to sleep in, even joining you after his ten minutes of being awake.
this became something of a ritual, though he tried to catch things before they got to the point where you were in pain.
he would come home, make sure you ate and drank water, got some rest, and would do anything to help you relax. sometimes he'd hold you on the couch on his lap, other times he'd hold you in bed. hell, one time you fell asleep in the bath while he gave you a glorious scalp massage. of course you returned the sentiment, making sure he got as much rest as possible in the morning, making him breakfast, and calling into his job at times to check up on him.
yes, you two were workaholics. but you two would work through it together.
or
rest.
or
wait no
wait-
