To be so clear I am also regularly in denial about how much pain i'm just in

even with meds, even with rest, even if I haven't done anything in a week, even if i did only good things the day before, even if the exercise was necessary

buuuuut the meds do take the edge off (still in pain but less which is a net good) and i can always tell when they've worn out (naproxen SAYS it's good for 8-12 hours and I get Maybe 7.5 on a good day). I'm attempting to change to preemptive pain relief from chasing pain constantly and it's hard. But we're getting better.

speaking of which. Naproxen time.

i think i'm like. really in denial sometimes about how much pain i'm just Casually In...

OH NO WAIT HANG ON WAIT ACTUALLY MY MEDICINE WORE OFF AND I DID LIKE A LOT OF UNANTICIPATED ACTIVITY NEVER MIND I'M DUMB I'M HURTING FOR ACTUAL REASONS THIS TIME

#i've narrowed down the Major Problem Area to the hip/pelvis/lower back region (primarily the Bones That Are Considered The Hips)#(rather than the hip joints themselves necessarily though to be so real it's definitely also part of the problem)#because the real problem is the fact that i was built Ford Tough and uh. boy howdy do i feel like i need a Fix Or Repair Daily #this is jokes i do not actually have a lot of Real Opinions on non-tesla car types #anyway #this post brought to you by a reply i got from a bot that i nearly succumbed to by going #''hey bud you sound like you're either a bot or new to the internet''#with the intention of adding in a nice little courtesy and social etiquette lesson for internet interactions and why we don't just demand #that folks message us when we've never spoken before and we don't just friend request out of the blue and such like that #(many such cases)#and i realized i could just instead block them #so i did :)#i block only because my grasp on the way people can choose to present themselves online is Incredibly Autistic #and i'd feel bad reporting someone as a bot if it turned out they're just not aware of the same internet location customs as i am #specifically/especially on tumblr where lots of internet space refugees end up #and they may just not know the customs here and that's fair!#the internet has changed a lot since i was a kid and that happens #i might be the one out of touch on this thursday and again the autism is 100% a factor in the way i think #but like we have Ways Of Doing Things In Places in order to make existing in those places not just easier but also more fun for everyone #and it like...it really bothers me when people don't play along with it #i get it a lot of the social rules don't actually do anything anymore #but there's so many more that DO still have a purpose #and we as a society seem to be eschewing all of it because some of it is Dated and not accurate for our current timeline #when what we *could* have been doing instead is coming up with an updated version of the mores and norms so that interaction stays smooth #like. utilizing basic polite language and phrasing is important it's a tough script to learn but it's so fucking important #because it's a shared language we can use to interact together #maybe we're both non-native speakers and we would interact better in our shared native tongue #and we can find that out as we know each other in the safe place of distance and social mores that keep us at a comfortable level #until we can know we even feel like sharing that actually the scripts and such take a lot of time #and i know i'm speaking from a place of privilege and like
