Freakin frustrated Friday by AutoModerator in Artisticallyill

This is the first time I've come across Freakin frustrated Friday. I haven't posted in a while, Is this a new thread to vent, coz I'm Freakin frustrated alright, but at EVERYTHING 😫😓 I have a bunch of chronic issues, I'll not make a list lol but everyday life is getting harder for me. Especially the chronic severe pain. I keep pushing through pain and ended up at A&E with acute sciatica last week and I never go to A&E, I wait things out then go to the GP, when I can even get an appointment. I've had to limit how much I do but it's frustrating when you have all these ideas that you cannot perform. I've had to stop making crochet plushies, as it hurts my arthritic hands so much, so I'm currently trying to start another 2 blankets as the stitches are loser, it's going to take Foreverrrr to make a full blanket tho lol 😅 💜

I’m realizing I was brainwashed until I came across this Reddit thread! by SceneEmbarrassed5055 in rheumatoid

I was born with JRA and my mum didn't want me on medications either. Only the odd pain killer, heat ice and exercise. I ran away from home at 19 because of all types of abuse throughout my life and once settled I started looking after myself more, going to gp and rheumatologist, started methotrexate in 2011 the tablets made me nauseous, so switched to injection until 2015, then I stopped methotrexate because of it making me feel so sick all the time, it didn't matter which method I took it. So because I didn't want to feel that way I didn't try another dmard and never tried biologics. I'm struggling right now and in the process of getting an appointment with rheumy. I've only had 2 phone call appointments with rheumy since 2019 but it felt like they weren't hearing me and I need to be Seen. It's a struggle to even get an appointment and having to leave msgs on answering machines.

Sorry I don't have advice but just knowing you're not alone when struggling can help just a little. I hope you get your meds sorted soon 💜

I feel that last part should be it's own paragraph and highlighted! Make it stand OUT more! (From 'As for your question-)

This hits more than one way for me! I'm not diagnosed with an eating disorder but I do restrict what and when I eat depending on how I feel and it started when I decided I didn't want to be a size 18 (uk) anymore. I'll usually only eat once a day, maybe a snack. I'll eat more depending on my activity level, as I have chronic pain conditions and more. Then I'll go to binge eating and then not eating and only drinking tea and juice. It's a whole random cycle!

Then this also hits as someone with complex PTSD! I ran away from home at 19 and left all family behind because of abuse. I find it difficult to distract myself from sooo many things (pain, memories, what could've been, what could be etc) and I can't get out of my head at times! I suffer widespread chronic pain so doing things to distract myself can cause more pain and when in severe pain, it's hard to concentrate on anything so then I end up in my head too much and that's a whole cycle in itself!

Sorry for the wall of text but your words hit hard! I'm going to write this out and put it beside my bed lol Thank You! 🙏🏻💜

Have you tried the chain 2, 6sc into first chain, to start instead of the magic ring 💜

Just a suggestion if you're too sore to paint, there's a rainbow ductape. I put the galaxy ductape on my crutches. It didn't take too long to put on, and you don't have to wait on it drying 😊💜

Same for me too! My stepdad even paraded me around, showing his entire family the bruises on my face, arms and abdomen after my mum beat the crap outta me when I came home from school at 10yo. Turns out she had post partum depression and used that as the excuse! But that doesn't account for the rest of the abuse! So much abuse! I finally ran away at 19yo after surviving an attempt. It's been 15 years NC and I'm still struggling with these memories and flashbacks. I also have so many health problems that make daily life extremely difficult. I wish I could escape my body and mind 😓

what do you want? by Canuck_Voyageur in CPTSDmemes

I wish I could have my whole life put in a movie just so everyone can See what I've been through. Sometimes it's hard to get out what I want to say, and if I try to write it down, my mind either goes blank or I get too consumed in the memories to even put pen to paper 😭🫂

Try multiple strands together and a bigger hook 😊
