My many illnessws

@Fieryfear I know you've probably heard it again and again, but pacing really does help a lot. resting before you crash makes a massive difference in your overall quality of life.

I found the chronic pain program on here really interesting and I suggest you check it out for ways of coping with pain. I use a lot of distraction (like watching my favourite youtubers) and find that helpful.

I know it's hard, but finding your identity from things other than your suffring makes a massive difference in your percepton of what you're going through. I'm a martial artist, debater, mathematician, scientist and rubiks cube enthusiast and using those aspects of me to base my identity around rather than my EDS makes it easier to cope. the issues begin to feel less like they are your entire life and more like they are a small aspect of the complicated puzzle of you.

I hope something in here helps! you can get through this and learn to coupe :)
