From people who came through it
“I was right where you are two years ago. I remember when a heat pad that never leaves the sofa, like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.”
kind_dusk · been through chronic pain“Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Canceling plans for the third time, every single day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. You're not on your own.”
lemonbird1994 · been through chronic pain“Hello friend. It feels like nobody believes what you're going through. You'll probably say you're fine some days because it's less trouble than explaining. That's alright. Try to find one person who'll listen, even if that takes a while. The stairs don't go anywhere, but you don't have to climb them by yourself. I'm still working this out too, but I'm around.”
riccardoleaf · been through chronic pain“I am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. Heat pad, podcasts and low expectations got me through the worst flares.”
