Intolerable. You can't stop crying or shaking. You cannot walk or talk. Excruciating. You're unable to care for yourself. It's hard to think of anything but your pain. You can;t concentrate. The pain keeps you from doing most activities. You think about your pain all the time. You're avoiding many activities. You think about your pain most of the time. It's hard to suppress outward signs of pain. You are constantly aware of your pain. You continue to do most activities.

2.39pm. If I’m going to the #gym today, my next meal should be dinner. I’m going to hate myself but I can’t bring myself to go. I’m wiped. #stress #anxiety #right #eye #cataract #surgery #work #WFH #ChronicPainSky #WorkoutSky #DepressionSky

Context: I have both muscle and nerve pain but the muscle stiffness pain is still the biggest concern

What do my fellow warriors do for self care on days like these?
