#exercise is therapy

[nicistrying]

I can do it. It's 7.30am, I have an hour before I need to log on for work, which is plenty of time for a quick stretch and arm workout. I don't even need to make myself super presentable for work as I shouldn't be needing to call anyone until I start answering the phones at 1pm. I need a proper workout after a weekend off 💪

Group Exercise! Clap! Clap!: Hazbin Hotel

Charlie: Alright, Everyone, gather around! We're doing another singing circle!

Angel: *trying to sneak away*

Vaggie: *holds Angel at spearpoint* Oh, no. Get back there and play along.

Angel: This was stupid the last time! *grumbles as he sits down in the circle* Fucking singing and clapping like a bunch of cheerleaders. Haven't seen this much clap since I was alive.

Charlie: Don't worry, Angel! I've adjusted the song to specifically match most of our guests in a way that they may be more open and honest!

Angel: *blinks* Doubt.

Charlie: Watch! AHEM!!! *sings* I have turned all of my trauma into kinks!~

*CLAP!!! CLAP!!!*

Vaggie: *face falls* Babe!

Husk: *spits out his drink*

Alastor: A- What now?????

Lucifer: *singing* I've turned all of my trauma into kiiiiinks!~

*CLAP!!! CLAP!!!*

Charlie: Vaggie! Go!

Vaggie: Uh..... *sings awkwardly* Run a knife right down my spine?

Charlie: *wiggles her eyebrows at Vaggie* Be my Mommy~

Angel: *sings enthusiastically while swooning backwards into Husk's lap* Make me cry!~

Charlie & Lucifer: Because I've turned all of my trauma into kiiiiiiinnnks!

*CLAP!!! CLAP!!!*

Charlie: Second verse, same as the first! Husk, take it away!

Husk: YOU ALL NEED FUCKING THERAPY!!!

we as a society have got to stop prescribing exercise as a universal cure for chronic illness. yes exercise can be extremely beneficial for certain chronic conditions, especially under the guidance of a physical therapist or physiotherapist. how and ever acting like exercise will undoubtedly reduce the symptoms of every single chronic illness on the face of the planet just isn't it. exercise is even known to worsen the symptoms brought about by certain illnesses and disabilities, and can have detrimental effects if not approached with the utmost care. 'exercise can be beneficial for certain conditions' well yes. 'exercise will have a 100% positive impact on any and all chronic illness' no no nope and also no

Emily and the extra realization that an angel had her wings torn off and eye gouged out and halo repossessed and was left for dead in hell- why exactly??

Emily: "A child."

Lute: "A filthy little sinner."

Emily: "You did all that to her, because she showed a moment of mercy to, a C H I L D?"

Lute: "Yes."

Emily: "And then you tried blackmailing her with this??"

Lute: "Yes."

Emily: "That's terrible."

Lute: "I'll admit it didn't work how we wanted it to, but the broken look on her disgusting little demon fling's face was still worth it."

Emily: "I meant that it was a wrong and terrible thing to do TO her. And to Charlie!"

Lute: "They've probably already broken up by now. That traitor will spend her final hours alone and wretched with nothing but her own failings to keep her company."

Emily: "How you can SMILE while saying that!?"

Lute: "Oh don't worry, she'll be out of her misery soon enough."

Emily: "..... respectfully Lute, I hope she fucks you up a little."

Lute: There's no chance in hell.

Lute: (comes back sans arm after getting a little fucked up by vaggie in hell)

Emily: "HA!"

Emily: "Anyway have you met our newest angel Sir Pentious? Sir Pentious is an angel now. He arrived here fresh from hell. Did you know sinners can be redeemed and Charlie was right and you were wrong and Vaggie did the right thing and Sir Pentious was just telling me allllll about how they made up and it was very cute and they're probably going to be in love forever? Meanwhile, YOU on the other hand- oh I'm so sorry, Lute. Too soon?" :)

Exercise and other forms of exertion can cause profound and lasting harm to people with ME: various forms of evidence

My 2011 paper, "Reporting of Harms Associated with Graded Exercise Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis / #ChronicFatigueSyndrome" included data from earlier surveys and discussed the issue of reporting of harms

this is non comic or OSP related, so sorry if i'm overstepping, but do you have any advice for someone that wants to move/exercise more but is utterly unmotivated?(not exercise for muscles, just movement for the sake of movement)

Honestly? Think of something physically demanding you want to be able to do. Stuff like hiking and/or climbing rough terrain, running free with the wind in your hair, swordfighting, stunt falls, sick metal gear combat rolls - anything that has ever made you sit up and think "I wish I could do that!" Once you reframe movement and exercise as a way to make your body capable of more fun things, it becomes a lot easier to stay motivated.

Almost didn't work out today but I didn't work out yesterday either as I was exhausted after work so I started out doing bicep curls in my pyjamas and dressing gown, soon enough felt good and got my sports bra on for the rest 😊 ended up with a decent quick arms & core session before dinner and felt so much better for it 💪

forgive my absolute ignorance and maybe stupidity, but does swimming and other pool related activities help hypermobility? Whenever I told anyone related to medicine I'm having joint pain, they told me to take many a bath and frequent a pool

yes. water-related actitivites help with joint pain a) by in the case of exercise like aerobics and swimming building muscle and b) doing so whilst relieving pressure on the joints because the water is holding you up

hot baths will relieve pressure on the joints (unlike standing or even sitting to take a shower) and the heat will relax the muscles whilst the water supports you

I see some really nice people on my dash struggling with anxiety and feeling down lately... I want to hug them all so bad 😞

I wish all the struggling people on my dash to know that you are amazing for simply existing, and even for the ones I don't get to talk too much: I WANT TO HUG YOU TIGHT AND SHAKE YOU IN THE AIR UNTIL YOU FEEL LOVED

Be well, my dears ❤️
