Hey, quick reminder, being in pain is a valid reason.
Being in pain is a valid reason to rest.
Being in pain is a valid reason to use a mobility aid.
Being in pain is a valid reason to say no.
Knowing something will cause pain is a valid reason to say no.
There is a balance you have to find between doing what you want and need to do while in pain, but remember that some of our daily symptoms would send abled people to the ER. You deserve rest.

I disappeared into books when I was very young, disappeared into them like someone running into the woods.

Asking for help is good. Needing help is okay. You deserve to be helped too. You belong.

The only thing certain about chronic pain is that there is no certainty. One day a person with chronic pain may feel well enough to do some activities and another day getting out of bed may prove too painful.

You know, having a chronic illness means coming to terms with your body changing and not being able to stop it.
I think we should give ourselves permission to be upset about that.
