TW mentions selfharm

Hi been a while since last posted but had an argument with hubby over pain meds. He thinks not taking them when in obvious pain (the way I was walking made my pain obvious apparently) is classed as self harm. But I believe if the pain is tolerable and I can still do stuff then why bother taking them. Honestly if I took pain meds for the obvious pains then I'd be taking them every day and I've seen what that does. He insists that I should take them because the pain is to the point that I'm walking differently but I don't think I should just because it's uncomfortable to walk normally I can still get around and do stuff.

It really riled me when he said that "putting up with pain" is self harm because I've been struggling with self harm thoughts and this is the longest I've been without actually doing it since I was 15.

I don't know im just upset with the argument as its a common one and ive been really stressed out lately don't know if I really want a response or just needed to vent but yeah
