My chronic pain doctor suggested I exercise more
I asked him “how?”
He looked confused. Said I should try a bit every day
I said “not when, how?” I asked what exercises I should do
He suggested half a dozen options that had all been explicitly banned by other doctors. I’m not allowed to run. I’m not allowed to bike. I’m not allowed to use my rowing machine or my punching bag.
I walk my dog whenever I have the energy and when it doesn’t hurt too much
What else can I do?
He told me I should exercise more
And then he changed the subject.
im on day 39 of a migraine, hospital have given up on me, makes it hard to not give up on myself.
anyone else ever think about where they would be if they werent sick?
couldve graduated high school, couldve gone to university, couldve had a job, travelled, practiced my skills regularly, chased my passions..
lately if im not constantly occupying my brain i spiral.
my mind is exhausted from the constant stimulation but i dont know what else to do.
People wouldn't do XYZ to a person with [disability aid] is such a bad take. I guarantee they do. They always do.
like I’m sorry but I really don’t give that much of a shit about the love triangle I’d have really liked it if we got idk. any real Big Picture information about lumon or what cold harbor’s end goal was For lumon. like literally anything else.
Idk who needs to hear this, but “it could always be worse” is a genuinely harmful mindset. And that applies to multiple situations whether it be mental health or physical health. Yes it could be worse, but it could also be significantly better. You deserve to reach out for help before you drown in your issues. No matter if someone drowns in 4 feet of water or 20, they are still just as dead.
THIS like im not lazy im not unmotivated i have so much i want to do and see but i CANT. do you know how frustrating that is??? nobody wants me to get better more than i do.
Helping physically disabled people doesn’t mean manhandling us like we're pieces of luggage.
Ask how you can help, rather than going ahead and hauling us like sacks of human cargo. It's for both respect and safety reasons, by the way.
