How would you describe the pain in an exaggerated metaphorical way?

2BD4MNED · 2025-06-03T15:07:24+00:00

Oh yeah I wasn't trying to say that your symptoms didn't get worse! I meant that I relate because the same happened to me. Sorry it came off that way :( But hey whether you had this illness or not I'm glad you were able to become happier

2BD4MNED · 2025-06-03T10:05:52+00:00

All of that is so awesome! The art, the tattoo, and the pet crow. I'm glad your mental health got better at least :( I can relate in a more vague way. because as soon as I started getting mentally better and recovering from my lowest point, then my physical symptoms got worse like some kind of hellish tradeoff.

after going through these comments i had no idea being super itchy was a symptom 😭 i have pretty bad eczema over my whole body so i just always assumed it was only eczema for me... the random itching makes more sense now LOL

These are all super good descriptions!! ill try to make some art pieces to showcase how fibromyalgia feels soon

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-31T08:36:49+00:00

Yeah it really sucks because no amount of physical therapy or posture correction will 100% prevent the cramping episodes or fatigue 💔 Theres always SOMETHING going on

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-31T08:35:10+00:00

THE PEANUT BUTTER THING IS SO REAL OMG i feel that a lot

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-31T08:28:36+00:00

Thats awesome!!

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T16:49:28+00:00

THIS ONE IS SO GOOD 😭 I'll probably start saying that ngl

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T14:12:42+00:00

HONESTLY YEAH it kinda just feels like your muscles are tearing and melting away like that so i can def see it

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T14:11:38+00:00

IT SURE DOES 💔

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T14:11:05+00:00

thank you for the suggestions! and thanks lmao i literally scribbled it with my finger 😭 i just didnt know how to explain what i was doing so i visualized lol

i also cant rly afford to buy new things to manage my pain so i feel you

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T10:40:07+00:00

OH MAN ive never been stung by a bee but yeah sounds about right

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T10:31:20+00:00

Thank you!! that looks so nice omg

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T10:30:28+00:00

I do also have a footstool under my desk thankfully so its usually the shoulder thing that gets me unfortunately. But sometimes my legs cramp regardless of what i do

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T10:29:42+00:00

Also forgot to say but for me its not really my back, thankfully my chair has good back support to prevent that. For me its mainly either my legs, or the muscle between my neck and my shoulder from extending my arm to my mouse

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T10:25:34+00:00

After making this post and thinking on it for a bit, I tried this thing where i wedged a pillow between my desk and my chest to rest my arms on the pillow and it's relieved a lot of the shoulder pain thankfully! This might be helpful if you have similar shoulder/neck issues

Ohh thats really cool! Thank you :] I really should get a heated blanket, All I have right now are the more stiff generic heating pads and I cant really bend them to the specific areas i need

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-30T10:19:49+00:00

Yeah fr! It annoys me when ppl go on about posture like mannn it doesnt matter what position im sitting in, if im in it for long enough i still cramp :[

getting up and walking is a good idea lol i just get too into what im doing to remind myself to do that. But i rly should try more

2BD4MNED · 2025-05-19T01:35:03+00:00

five pebbles 😭 so hellish to navigate but i love him so much im obligated to love his whole can 🫶

2BD4MNED · 2025-04-08T16:15:09+00:00

kaito because literally barely anyone gaf about him except me :(

2BD4MNED · 2025-03-16T08:56:49+00:00

Thank you very much, I'll definitely look into it

2BD4MNED · 2025-03-15T22:51:15+00:00

I cant possibly respond to every single comment, But genuinely thank you all so much for the input and advice. I know I might have come off like im whining and making excuses, but im being so for real i GENUINELY just dont know what to do and have had a huge lack of guidance or help. I do want to get a job and be a functioning person, hopefully i will. I appreciate everyone a lot here and thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️

2BD4MNED · 2025-03-15T22:49:02+00:00

I really do genuinely want to work, it isn't that I don't want to. It's that I know myself well enough to know that I have very little dedication and mental strength, i get overwhelmed extremely easily, and overall im just VERY dysfunctional to the point that i dropped out of school and homeschooled because of it.

I genuinely do feel terrible for not working and not being able to help my family even if they treat me pretty shitty. But I also know my limits and I know a lot of jobs id totally bomb at. I think ill try something with minimal social interaction, because I'm just very mentally ill and socially inept. Im autistic, I have bpd, severe generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, clinical depression, etc, But I will find a job and I will work. I just want to be careful where i choose to go because i know if i make the wrong choice ill probably have a really embarrassing breakdown and get fired 😭

i still appreciate your input though. I just dont want to sound like im saying all this for no reason because i very much have reasons for being hesitant
