“using a cane is also an energy saver. Because my body doesn’t have to work as hard, I’m not as exhausted at the end of a day as I otherwise would be": https://buff.ly/3DP5EBP from @themightysite.bsky.social #MobilityAids #disability #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #EhlersDanlosSyndrome

My #OCD has been crippling me over the past few weeks, and the stress has caused a #fibro flare, far beyond my baseline pain. I can't believe I was ever lucky enough to have such a long period without obsessions or compulsions at this level. I'm at least grateful to know this might not last forever.

First week: Day 1 it was snowing, so it took 3 hours to get there, only to be sent home at 12 Day 2 told we'd get an email. No email. But it was on, apparently. Day 3, I am flaring up, currently between vom bombs. Give me strength! (Literally. Please give me strength if you have some spare)

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

Watching this, no context and no sound: Hmmm. That man is certainly running and he did a flip to finish the run... Now the ref looks annoyed but wants to respectfully start a game of rock, paper, scissors with the camera.. And it's 1-nil

It's 7am and I have, once again, awoken to my cat making biscuits on my tummy. Silly kitty, that's not where biscuits are made. Now get in the kitchen and get to work. We've got bills that need to be paid.
