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 Iā€™d 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 itā€™s not worth it and it feels awkward to use. if a cane doesnā€™t help idk what will

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. :heart:

2440 - Waiting for Hilary to hit. Itā€™s supposed to be in 4-7 hours. Brought in the outdoor furniture and charged everything. Iā€™m doing consulting work and staying indoors today.

:smiling_face: 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?

as far as I know Iā€™m it hypermobile. Iā€™ve checked for a few signs before and donā€™t 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

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 :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
