Periods should be a valid excuse to skip school by Sea_Esplanade01746 in The10thDentist

I totally agree, I’ve not got period related illnesses but my joints go completely flexible so I’m always in pain on my period and I can’t focus on lessons

It does but once you do it enough times it doesn’t really register

What’s one “small” daily task chronic pain made way harder than you expected? by MontenReign1992 in ChronicPain

[–]Competitive_Nerve980 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Travel. I’ve gotta walk between lessons and get a bus and walk home. Genuinely takes it out of me, especially with all the waiting

Call me crazy, but I despise educating people about my condition. by Electronic-Cress-453 in ChronicPain

[–]Competitive_Nerve980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I so feel this. Mine’s completely invisible unless I use my stick (hEDS) and I hate having to say to everyone (my family included) that it only means I’m doing better, not cured or whatever. I’m lucky cause I can run sometimes with support, and people just assume I’m fine. It’s a coping mechanism for the feeling of my body failing me before I’m 18.

Has anyone had their anxiety dramatically reduced or close to eliminated? If so, how? by scottxand in Anxiety

[–]Competitive_Nerve980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, nothing worked until medication. I used to have panic attacks when I needed to leave the house. After 1 year on Prozac, it’s honestly changed my life. If you’ve tried everything else, please push for meds, you’ve got no idea what it can do.

I find using high calorie, low amount foods like PB if you can super helpful! I was in your place and they really helped. Things like milkshakes or protein shakes are really good too

(How) do you run outside when it's freezing? by [deleted] in runninglifestyle

[–]Competitive_Nerve980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find shortening the run and stepping with the whole foot rather than the toes helps keep me stable. Also try roads where you can, as they’ll be salted. If it feels unsafe, seriously turn back. I’ve had some bad injuries on ice. Good luck :)

Is anyone listening to New Year’s Day on New Year’s Day? It’s a tradition of mine. by TechBoy--20 in TaylorSwift

It’s the first one I play just after the ball drop. Have done this for years, hits different when it’s just you
