I don’t know who needs to hear this but I know I needed it 2 years ago

You should not be in debilitating pain to the point you cannot move after only 4 hours of activity. (This is counting taking regular breaks)

I thought everyone was extremely tired the next day where they couldn’t even move their joints properly the next day.

If you feel this way, I promise your pain is valid and you have every right to ask to ask for help and use aids that can help you day to day even if you are undiagnosed.

I just felt like someone needed to hear this today and to remind everyone your pain is valid!

It's not? /gq

I'm always in like, such severe pain that I have to lay in bed the next day after simple outings. Halloween this year was rough I feel like I'm still recovering.

I didn't know that wasn't just like...normal pain.

[chronically-mars]

I thought this too! I’ve had chronic pain since I was 9 y/o and I thought everyone experienced daily pain in their joints. It took me not being able to get out of my chair to get diagnosed. If you feel like this is affecting your day to day and you’re able to get access to a doctor I highly encourage you to! 🫶🏼 just know you have every right to ask for help and I’m happy to be that support to anyone trying to get answers

[rottinginmoss]

My chronic pain started around middle school, if I remember right. I was a dancsr but I just got worse and worse and can now barely get out of bed

It's news to me that people just- aren't in pain! I'm definitely gonna try and get in touch with a doctor eventually

[chronically-mars]

Right?! I was told “why didn’t you say anything before?” I didn’t know people just weren’t in pain all the time?? I told them how debilitating my joint pain was to stand for more than 30 minutes and they told me that’s NOT normal and I was shocked. When I was told there is no normal amount of pain, if you’re in pain that’s not okay- I was shocked!

After years of living in the adulting world, I think I’ve come to a realization: Manners exist to guide you to good conduct even when you’re in a bad mood.

When you’re happy, when you’re feeling generous, when you’re pleased with your gift or your service or your outcome, it’s easy to be nice. It’s easy to tip the waiter well when you’ve had a good day. It’s easy to thank the teller or the clerk when you got what you wanted out of the transaction. It’s easy to smile and chit-chat with strangers on the road when you’re in a good mood.

It’s hard to tip the waiter when you didn’t enjoy your food. It’s hard to thank the clerk for their time when you’ve just been told there’s a problem with their account and they weren’t able to fix it for you. It’s hard to think of something nice to say when your aunt gave you a crappy sweater you neither need nor want. It’s hard to be nice to people when you’ve had a shitty day. It’s HARD.

That’s what manners are for. Scripts and phrases that you learn by rote to say when you can’t think of a single nice or good thing to say from your own volition. Yes, they’re scripted. Yes, the sentiment is empty. But the scripts work in every situation, and the emptiness provides a buffer between your own unhappiness and the rest of society.

Because most of the time, it’s not the waiter’s fault that the food you ordered wasn’t what you expected. It’s not the clerk’s fault that your account is overdrawn. It’s not the fault of the barista or the stranger on the subway that you got fired today or your favorite aunt died. But even when you can’t summon a smile or a cheery word, you can still have manners, because they will serve you the same in sunshine or rain.

This is very wise and very well put.
