#tw pain meds mention

[antiendosystemterms]

Pain handler

A term for an alter that handles / manages any sort of pain the body experiences. They can do this simply by fronting to take it, having a higher pain tolerance, or trying to manage it externally (such as taking pain meds)

((this term is made by us. The flag is made by us.))

sorry ignore this if you don’t want to read a rant my journaling isn’t working so i’m going to just share on here real quick

i’m just having such a bad week and it’s only tuesday 😭😭 my mom is away right now so i miss her and i get to see my dad but he’s injured so he’s mostly trying to get a lot of sleep or he’s taking his pain meds.

and my friend group is falling apart lol! so that’s great! there’s a lot of tension all of the time and it feels like i’m choking when i’m around them.

and i won’t see my therapist for 2 more weeks because she stopped taking my insurance

i don’t think i can keep lol-ing my way through this one lmao

and i’ve been constantly in physical pain or sick this whole month and that’s just really taken it out of me.

and my birthday is the day after the usa presidential primary so i can’t vote in that which i know isn’t a big deal because ill vote in the big election but its making me feel even more helpless

i’m just feeling pretty gloomy and lonely but i think maybe i’m just tired! anyway if you read this i hope it was at least entertaining lol

Surgery is done and I’m doing fine

Already walking around and doing stuff as normally as I can, relying on a forearm crutch as my pain meds wear off

My sleep will be shitty for a couple weeks but I’m used to not sleeping well

I may not show it very well, but thank you to everyone that interacts when I post about my life and medical struggles, it means a lot to me and reminds me that I’m not alone in this crap

Happy Pride! (and take your meds)

I’ve decided the taste of paxlovid is the taste of 🔥🔥VIRUS DYING🔥🔥 which means THIS IS THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES UPON MY TONGUE AS THEY FALL BEFORE MY DEFENSES

(It's so yucky I have to romanticize it somehow)

so i know in canon jinwoo makes a lot of food comments and i think he cooks a whole variety of foods when their mom wakes up from her coma but i like to hc that neither him nor jinah are very good at cooking 😂

like. lots of microwaved meals, convenience foods, instant ramen. and then when he makes more money as he climbs the ranks, so much take-out.

maybe i've played too much tears of the kingdom but imagine if the way to impress jinwoo is thru his stomach?? like. no, jinho, he's not going to this event with other hunters, nope. never.

...what's that?? there's food?? he's already there. oh and who made these cookies, they're delicious, can he take some of this home for his sister please?? he's usually so reserved but he prbly gets so happy over a meal, just munchin away.

bonus points for food hoarding/food insecurity

Spent most of the day alone which means I got to experience Emotions™️ and Thoughts™️. Tried to cope with them by focusing on the present. Distracting myself with hobbies and a comfort game. I tried putting my feelings into art and writing. But it didn't help. Ended up getting the shakes and shits. So at midnight I built a joint out of leftover crumbs and stems I found in my box and empty baggies. Got me high enough to stop the shakes.

I've been telling my helper people that my coping techniques don't work anymore. I try. I do what I'm supposed to do but they make this feeling worse. And I don't even know what to name it. The closest I come to describing it is that it feels like someone inside me is scratching and hammering on the walls of my body. Like someone or something inside me tries to scream but the room inside my ribs is sound proof. It's a tension that's alive and crying until its throat is soar. Before smoking that sorry bit of weed I seriously considered overdoasing because I couldn't bear it. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do with this feeling instead of numbing it with substances, but I only get told the skills that have grown to fail me 🙂 Even my therapist said that I have all the skills one could get teached. Why. Aren't they. Working anymore.

me: y'know I don't think our withdrawal symptoms are actually that bad this time...

also me: why do I keep feeling so shaky and like I've got the flu or something? I feel so ill but it doesn't feel like my usual symptom flares. what the fuck is with all these random muscle pains. I feel like I can't think properly and I hate it. what the fuck is going on? should I be concerned? what if I've got some kind of infection or something that's really serious?

me later on after having to take a single co-codamol tablet for our post-op pain and then promptly forgetting that I took the meds: huh, that's weird. I suddenly feel way less ill and I can think more clearly and... ohhh fuck okay

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

You’d think that with all this bike riding and lifting children off the floor that I’d be even more hungry, but no; I have the appetite of a little tiny bird???? The fuck

I don’t like it

[paradoxesofgalaxies]

Happy fucking birthday to me, I guess... shortly after midnight I starting getting the first pings of a trigeminal neuralgia flare and soon the pain had set in 🙃

After spending some time in angry denial about it, I took the fucking meds which are helping. But I'm mad about it and I wanna cry but crying would just make the pain worse. Fan-fucking-tastic start to my birthday

[justabaddreamm]

Guys look my new pain meds are so cute I’m so happy to be finally starting them 🥺

[stellarhistoria]

"Oh. My. God. Being pain free is so nice."

"I didn't even have to use Viv's drugs this time. I'm going to go kiss my husband now, thanks, have a nice day."

[tired-cripple-punk]

Currently trying to figure out if I’m just cold or if I’m in more pain than I thought

Figured out after my last big surgery that I will have tremors if I’m in a lot of pain

I’ll wait until all of my meds kick in to see, but I did end up taking stronger pain medication anyways because I kept waking up every time I moved

I definitely overdid it though, and I have not learned my lesson

I woke up in excruciating pain this morning, I couldn't move or speak for a while and my roommate had to help me get to the ambulance outside. so I've been in the hospital for a few hours now. They did testing and a CT scan for my spine and gave me a painkiller for it.

I'm not sure what will come back but I'm glad we finally got some actual testing done. The pt was making my back worse so that wasn't the right route for me for now I guess. I'm tired and hungry lol ☘️
