i really hope this doesn’t come off as offensive in any way, but just. how? how on earth do people deal with chronic pain? i’ve had pelvic pain intermittently since 2019 and no doctor can figure out a reason why, it got worse after i stopped taking my psych meds and even worse after the onset of my eating disorder. today has been especially bad now that i’m hospitalized for my ED. i think it’s stress related because it gets worse when i’m anxious but doesn’t everything? i’m just so lost. how are people with chronic pain not terrified 24/7 of the state of their bodies? how can they trust doctors who just look at them and shrug? how do they live? how do they find joy in life, especially after knowing what it’s like to not live with pain? i’m asking because i’m genuinely so lost and thought you might know. i’m not looking for a diagnosis or anything i’m just looking for the “how.”

I am responding in regards to the pain, since I don't have experience with eating disorders.

To be perfectly honest: I went through the same desperation, the same fear, the same grief, and I still do at times when the pain is most intense. I started recovery out of spite, to not let all the bad things "win". But it became later on more about me than proving anything to anyone. I am really hopeful and this blog helps me be positive. There are days the pain is so bad I just want to quit, because I desperately want it to stop, but I know that taking it out on myself is not going to help me. Taking it out on your body is not going to help it. You need to take your medication and you need to keep focusing on your treatment, but do it for yourself, do it for your own relief because you desperately want it and you deserve it. You are worthy of relief, simplesmente, give it to yourself if you can, listen to what your body needs.

I think what saved was hope. And human connections. Reaching out to people is hard. Walking away from the ones who are harmful is hard too. But it is worth it.

I'm not talking about self-love because it's not that easy, right? I'm talking about not taking it out on your body. I'm talking about being neutral. What works for me is thinking that I'm at just another human with very human needs, that I am not exception to other humans when it comes to meeting my needs, like resting, or self-care.

Please, take your medication, it will help you at least figure out what works for you and what doesn't. Remember that diagnosis are important, but they are guidelines. At the end of the day, you are in pain, and that is what you need to care for, and working on allowing yourself to do so is important. You need to figure out what works for the pain, what your needs are, and that is the most basic thing to focus on. Helping yourself, accommodating your needs, not depriving yourself of medication, taking care of your body. It is not easy, it is slow, it is annoying sometimes, it takes time, it takes learning how to allow yourself to have what you deserve and what you need, but you can do it because I believe that reaching out to anyone is already trying. You are trying so hard, please don't forget that. You are trying and that matters. At the end of the day, you want relief. And that's what matters most for you to get, so keep reaching out to people, to doctors, to therapists, to those who listen without being ableist. Keep trying, it is worth it. You are worth it.

Just please remember that you need to focus on other things as well as the disease. Find things that bring you joy, those little things heal you a little every day, and it builds up. It makes you hopeful( it makes you positive, it gives you reasons to keep going. Sometimes when we are sick, the pain is all we have, and that is not fair to us. We deserve relief from the pain, but some of that relief comes from distracting ourselves from it by remembering it's not all there is in life.

Again, I am referring to chronic pain, because I don't have much experience with eating disorders.

True Blue (to Rio) from Side Wounds

fun fact: a version of this poem was in the first draft of side wounds (it went through Many, and features a lot of brand new poems i wrote just for the collection) but was also the last one i finished editing. and truth be told, if my deadline hadn't caught up with me, i'd probably still be editing it.

#poetry #poem #poets on tumblr #lena's poetry archives #on friendship #friendship #this is dedicated to my best friend #on love #on grief #on healing #on survival #best friend #on staying alive #on recovery #god when i tell you our story is packed with Almosts i mean it. attempts and EDs and shared grief and literally all of our teenage years

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.
