Pain

@The-red-centaur that's completely understandable. Get as much rest as you can and take your time with things. You know we are always here for you whenever you need.

Sitting with you ❤️

Hey, today is really bad.

The heat, joining in a group disability basketball thing, chronic fatigue and a few other things is making me feel like I'm burning. The pins and neddles have subsided for now, but numbness and loss of movement has kicked in instead. Even going to the bathroom took like 20 minutes because I can barely weight bare on both legs and couldn't feel myself walking. I was finally able to collapse on my bed, but I can't move, rolling over is just too much of a chore, im getting thirsty but I can move to hydrate.

Even my fingers feel numb. Texting this is tiring. I justed wanted to come online and say hi. I'm soory

How are you all this morning?

I had a rough night, I crashed out early but after 12 I was having weird dreams and kept waking up. At one point I rolled around in my sleep and dislocated my shoulder, woke up screaming. Not a nice way to start the morning. I doubt I'll get up to much today, I need to rest my body and hope the pain ssubsides. Having a long hot shower this morning helped me relax a little, i usually only have cold showers but needed to soothe my aches and make my muscles soften.

Hope you have a good day.

@The-red-centaur morning. Been thinking about you and how you are doing.

Sorry to hear you had a rough night and ouch for the dislocated shoulder. Sounds like you need a relaxing day just chilling out. I'm around if you want to chat at all. Take care of yourself.

Today is going to be rough for me and I'm just leaning in on the forums and reaching out to crisis services as needed. Anything possible to make it through the day.

@Former-Member I'm here for you too. I won't be around all day, just floating in and out. You are strong, you got this. Being strong doesn't mean you aren't struggling, it means you keep going despite the struggles.

We can do this!

@The-red-centaur thankyou. I might be strong but right now it's all hitting hard and all my coping mechanisms have gone out the window.

I'm trying to remember to just breathe and distract myself as much as I can.

You got this!

@The-red-centaur

I'm okay this morning. Okay, in a way where i feel like there's a bunch off stuff bubbling under the surface but I feel I can keep it there for now.

Sorry you had such a rough night. I've never dislocated a shoulder, but i can't imagine what that must be like, made worse by it happening and being woken up like that! I hope it at least went back in relatively easily. Hopefully the hot water did the trick and it's feeling a better now. Take it as a sign to just do nothing all day but rest and recover. We all need days like that.
