my kuchipatchi plush comes to life to help me
out of habit, i try not to overexplain my comics, but this seems to be a reoccuring question here.
the purpose of this comic IS to promote better habits, not to shame people out of using medication when theyre in pain. the problem here is not the use of pain relievers, but
1) taking them on an empty stomach and long term can cause organ damage
2) by not changing the lifestyle that lead to my pain, i wasnt doing anything to lessen it or change the outcome. i was getting used to my own hurting and coming to expect it
at the end of the day, i have changed my habits so that i now do not need to take pain reliever, almost ever. but the purpose of this comic was to remind people not to become so used to their own pain it becomes a routine part of their day. some people have chronic conditions, its true, but for a lot of people there are small things you can do to improve your life so that it hurts less.
if my moral here is 'dont become so accustomed to your own pain you consider poor self care the norm', why would i ever shame anyone out of trying to relieve pain so they can sleep better? if i had just said 'grit your teeth, sleep terribly, just deal with the pain' ? thats sillieness. come on now
