If you can talk to your doctor about it, I recommend doing so!! The body is a complex mechanism, especially as it relates to the brain. It is not a failure of will, even if it feels that way, to feel scattered and unable to focus when you're constantly being bombarded with pain signals. Give yourself credit that you're doing your best.
Thank you! I don’t really feel that I am doing my best, but I also don’t know how I would get to the point where I am. Like I don’t know how I’d go about doing my best. I’m giving it another 2 months to see if things level out. My parents and my dude are pretty unimpressed that I’m still getting pain, but these things take time I think, especially since there’s so little research. Thank you for your reply :)

maybe see a doctor to rule some things out like ADD? i wasn't diagnosed till i was 26
I always thought ADD was like nutso teen boys, but I had a google and apparently I am wrong and also it often presents differently in women? So, sorry for thinking that! (You probably get that all the time - sorry everyone is so misinformed.) A lot of the descriptions sound like me, but I’m wary of reading myself into things. I know it’s common to over-identify with the things you read. Having said that, it took me a really long time to go and talk to someone about my suspected endo - my dude basically wouldn’t take no for an answer anymore, and made me go see my GP. But that’s also because when I went to my old GP about being in lots of pain they said it was normal and just gave me a prescription for slightly suped up painkillers. Which brings me to: I wouldn’t know how to go about talking to a doctor about this to rule it out?
