I almost stopped it😓
Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.
Biko why???
“When you try rescuing someone and discover they can’t be reached, why would you ever throw that back in their face?”
— Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why (via books-n-quotes)
“At least when somebody’s suffocating, you can tell: you see their faces turn blue, their lips quiver, their eyes buck, and their throats jerk. But when a man is mentally packing his bags the suitcase is never out until he’s already standing on the other side of the door.”
— Kalisha Buckhanon, Conception (via books-n-quotes)

I want one everyday,
But this will reduce its value.
So let everyone around me, contribute a golden day to me
364 friends.
That elusive freedom
For real
Even though it frustrates me, I understand why healthy people try to say that they’re sore too when I mention my chronic pain. They’re trying to empathize. But they can’t. They have no way of knowing what it feels like to be in such pain every day.
You can’t compare a paper cut to a battle wound.
