Anxiety feels like when you miss the last step when going down stairs, except it doesn’t go away.

There’s a difference between challenging yourself and overwhelming yourself. It’s okay to go at your own pace, okay?

Chronically ill people who need opioids (or any other medication) to have any sort of quality of life deserve access to their medication without doctors (and anyone else) using opioid addiction as an excuse to deny patients controlled medication for severe chronic pain. even though denying them and stopping their meds suddenly can actually lead to them self medicating and getting addicted to street drugs.

Addicts, specifically addicts with mental or physical health issues, deserve treatment and support without people blaming them for the opioid crisis and blaming them for chronic pain patients being denied opioids.

Instead of pitting chronic pain patients and addicts against each other, instead of blaming each group for the opioid crisis, how about we try to fix the broken system that is failing these people, increasing addiction rates and increasing the number of chronic pain patients who are not getting their conditions managed as they should be.

Do you ever find it crazy when you look up and find yourself in 3 years with 15 doctors and 10 diagnoses and all you want to do, all you desperately want to do in continue to live in that year before you lost yourself?

One of the most beautiful parts of life is that everyone is different. Beauty comes in so many different shapes and sizes :))
