GUESS WHO HAS A HYPERFIXATION FINALLY

IT'S HAZBIN HOTEL

GOD IT'S AMAZING TO FEEL SOMETHING AGAIN

People: omg are you sick? What's wrong?

Me, who was trying and failing to hide it: i mean im not the best atm but why do you ask?

Literally me:

Do writers make fanfics about other shows?

Oooooo do some writers make fanfics of their own shows?

Mostly it's called making the show.

I'm having to accept the fact that my art is indeed me practicing shit I've never done before, it doesn't need to be perfect, but on the other hand if I notice a mistake I should keep fixing it, yk?

Learning your limits with chronic pain is such a pain in the ass. Especially if you were very active before being blessed with your new condition.

So I have fibromyalgia and arthritis, and even though it's been well over a year since this initial flare took me down, I haven't quite gotten the hang of stopping before I make it worse. I am finally able to work/be active a few hours a day provided that there is sufficient time to lie down and rest between those hours. Even sitting upright counts as part of the "active hours".

Anyway, yesterday I worked, did my grocery shopping, put some of the groceries away, and organized some yarn. At some point, I was like oh I should make some calls today but I couldn't. I literally had no energy left. And I kept beating myself up over it. Like they're just phone calls, it's not hard, I can surely make a few phone calls and get them off my list. That was the loop on repeat in my head.

But then I was like wait, how do I feel in my body? What's happening in my body right now? When I checked in with my body, I realized that I was in more pain than I was aware of and had already gone slightly overboard on activity. That's when the loop in my head finally stopped and I laid down without any guilt.

I say all this because it's not fucking intuitive at all. Learning to adjust to your condition and energy level is a bitch and nobody really tells you how to do that. And most people will fight against it until they absolutely can't anymore, making their symptoms much worse than they would be on their own. Basically this is a learn from my mistakes post. I hope it helps someone out. ✌️

remember kids, homelessness is the direct result of flaws in the capitalist system 👍 it is not the result of laziness, addiction, or even misfortune. it is a state of being only possible when profit becomes more important than humanity 👍 homelessness is manufactured as a threat, or a promise of what will happen if you don't give your labor to the ruling class 👍 we can disarm this threat by removing its power to cause fear and by being kind to the homeless 👍

siphonophores will never not freak me out. stop doing that its SCARY but also please don't ever stop doing that you ethereal marine cryptid
