I just saw that and darn it’s right. So many times I’ve been told I’m exaggerating and its variations. I’ve not been accused of looking happy in a long time, though.

The Imperfectionist: Do what you want

Do what you want If you’re overwhelmed by the feeling that the world is falling apart – or just overwhelmed by your to-do list, or stuck in any kind of rut – there’s a solid cha...

Are we really overdiagnosing mental illness?

It’s tempting to dismiss the proliferation of labels as a fad, but there’s more to this phenomenon than a simple culture-war reading allows

Gestern war wieder so ein Tag, den ich mit Malsachen und Wärmflasche im Bett verbrachte. Auf der Kommode steht meine Lederkorsage. Früher habe ich sie gerne getragen, heute dient sie mir als Zeichenvorlage.

Any guitar* players on fedi with EDS or painful hypermobility? Do y'all have advice on how to cause less pain when I practice/perform? So far I've been switching sides, which seems to help with the long-term pain of always playing "right-handed," but I still end up in pain on whichever side of my neck/shoulders the fretboard was on.
*Or bass guitar, banjo, pretty much anything on a guitar strap

Afternoon, Twters.

I'm sorry I've been so quiet - #Perimenopause migraines are getting real fucking boring now. The #ChronicPain in my legs is ramping up because some suits decided that being on Gabapentin long term isn't useful so I'm reducing and my pain is - shocked pikachu face - getting worse. Will need to chat to the GP about what we're going to replace it with because this is unsustainable.

Sorry - grumpy today.

And don't get me fucking STARTED on #Evri 's "next day delivery"...

@mutualaid everything hurts, especially my head and hips. I feel so weak and exhausted and I worry about sleep tonight because this will be the second night in a row of being unmedicated. I wasn’t able to do much of anything today because of the pain and brain fog and I’m just really hoping something good happens.
I’m especially upset knowing even if we somehow raise enough overnight to get our meds in the morning, we’ll spend the next two days in pain and using what we can get to try recovering from today and yesterday, which will leave us running out again in a few days.
