Honestly only writing this here because none of my RL friends will see this.
CW: venting, chronic pain, imposter syndrome
I am so tired and so exhausted from my chronic pain, it’s been so long, several months with little sleep and no real rest, because if I sit still for too long, I will not be able to move without excruciating pain. And if I move I will be exhausted to the point of my joints to go stiff.
I try to take painkillers but I’m so tired that even getting the bottle in the other room feels impossible.
I keep considering getting my hands on weed to make me actually sleep, but I don’t have a way to get my hands on it safely (it is also illegal) , and I would have to stop taking my medication which is not an option.
I just want to sleep, I just want to feel comfortable and no terrified of leaving my apartment for more than a few hours.
I have so little trust in doctors, that even though I’m going to a specialist in February, I expect to be told that nothing is wrong. Like I’m always told, by every single doctor for the past 6+ years, no matter how bad I feel
At this point I even doubt it my self, I feel like it’s no even imposter syndrome, I am rly just making it up.
I never use this account anymore- but im happy to Update that I am now diagnosed with fibromyalgia and possibly more in the future- I’m getting medication, I have appointments for long term pain treatment and for once, a doctor believed me and validated that what I was going through wasn’t normal at all.
It’s hard to adjust to disability but for now, slow and steady has been working
