Pain trigger rant
Having chronic pain is kind of the worst as we all know. I've been feeling some feelings lately that I think might be relatable, but I also just need to get off my chest. I'm having a flare up right now. I have Interstitial Cystitis. A lot of my flare ups are food related, but sometimes they aren't. So while I'm at work, lying on the bathroom floor (thankfully single user), I'm currently trying to dig through the last 12-24 for hours, searching for what I could have possibly done to hurt myself like this. It won't take away my pain, but I'm still left blaming myself for maybe slipping up and eating something that made me happy. But what made me happy was on the no list. Or maybe my pants are too tight. Or maybe I got too stressed taking my accounting test. Regardless, I'm in pain and I'm sad.
Hopefully others can relate.
