The pain is more incredibly annoying than unbearable
I've used a wheelchair for about a week now and I was soo nervous about it. But it's honestly been great, despite the minor accidents. I've gotten both thumbs stuck between the tire and the fender sideguard.. and I've tipped backwards onto the ground. But the worst part about that was that my open drink spilled everywhere:(
It feels easy, natural, amazing to just be able to move so freely with a lot less pain than before. I'm gonna be really sad, when I have to give it back.
Maybe in another universe I'm not the sick girl.

normal: your knees/hips starting to twinge after climbing a big set of stairs
not normal: climbing stairs is hard for you, and you start to feel pain after a couple steps
normal: you wake up feeling pain after doing a lot of exercise the day before
not normal: you wake up feeling pain regardless of your activities the day before
normal: you are usually a zero on the pain scale
not normal: you cannot imagine what a pain scale zero would feel like
normal: when you experience pain, there is a direct reason for it, and it is able to be fixed with over-the-counter drugs (such as paracetamol)
not normal: you can’t figure out why you’re in pain, and taking over-the-counter painkillers doesn’t always work to fix it
normal: you do not spend most of your time in pain
not normal: you’ve spent most of your time in pain for over three months
if you experience pain regularly and for seemingly no reason, go to the doctor! you are not supposed to be in pain, and you deserve to find out what’s going on with your body!

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.
