Day 40 for me
well I tried to use a cane today to help with my bad hips and knees. that alone was hard being only 21. I had to hide it from my extended family because I know Iād be mocked for it. I was practicing in the mall and I ran into my cousin who I know will tell my family. however the cane helped my hip pain but then caused equally bad wrist and arm pain from holding it. I feel hopeless I thought the cane would help but itās not worth it and it feels awkward to use. if a cane doesnāt help idk what will
Checking in.
Having a hard couple of days and I literally cant stop crying bc of depression. At least I dont have thoughts about using. So im very grateful for that. Id rather bawl my eyes out every couple hours than to have torturous thoughts about using tbh. At least I have peace!!!
Im grateful for the wonder of being alive even when I cant always see that.
Wishing everyone a good day / night. Dont let yourself bully you ever. Love yourself so much that it shines through every crack.
2440 - Waiting for Hilary to hit. Itās supposed to be in 4-7 hours. Brought in the outdoor furniture and charged everything. Iām doing consulting work and staying indoors today.
Thanks for the support. Find a way to explore new things in the home town? Challenge accepted, lets go!
Also thought about getting back into cooking and trying completely new dishes- its just so warm right now so I dont want to turn on the stove.
Sending a hug and wishing all the peace and ease for the day.
Go teamā¤
Oh that sucks, sorry about the new pain. You have no reason to be ashamed. Have you checked the height of the cane is right for you? I was scared of falling when I had to use a cane and gripped too hard so ended up hurting my wrist too. Are you hypermobile at all?
Day 6
Back home - no shit in the fridge
Found some refuge in other things today.
It was a nice one.
Much love
as far as I know Iām it hypermobile. Iāve checked for a few signs before and donāt seem to have any. after my post I checked and Google said the handle should be waist level, mine was a little below waist level so I will readjust it
Another sober weekend!
Good plan as you may have had to bend awkwardly. I am not hypermobile but almost there and your post reminded me of how I am. There is always something new, like the muscles work too hard and overcompensate resulting in new pain. I had to give up running after 2 sessions as ended up barely able to walk with knee pain
Congratulations! Itās so inspiring to see others on the platform with long term success!
itās such a struggle yesterday I just colored for maybe am hour and then I almost couldnāt move my hands after a while
Day 13
Feeling under the weather,trying to get a few things around the house done and rest,itās better than being hungover and wasting the whole day
