Not around much because not sleeping much

[chienne_folle]

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been not sleeping much at night because of pain, so I'm exhausted and have very little energy. Plus I have a friend in the hospital, so what social energy I can squeeze out mostly goes to them right now

Oh no! This is not good. I really hope it eases for you.

Thanks, hon.

How are you?

The wait is pretty long here for some of us. I hope you get some relief soon.

[chienne_folle]

Thanks! Yeah, the wait around here is something like four months, depending on the specialty.

Oh no! I hope your doctor can at least do something to relieve some of your problems and get you feeling better. I don’t know your life situation that well, but pain and lack of sleep are difficult, because if a person is on crutches or has a bandage on their head, or something that indicates a problem, people give them a lot of grace and they understand if the person is cranky or they’re not functioning at their full capability. But pain and lack of sleep are not visible to others and so unless you spill your problems to everyone you meet, they aren’t as understanding. And that’s no one‘s fault. And it isn’t as though you’re looking for sympathy, but I guess I’m just saying in my experience those things require you to suffer in silence and put on a brave face when all you want to do is crawl back in bed. Hugs from a far, and well wishes for getting some relief.

Yes, invisible disabilities are difficult to manage. One doesn't want to complain all the time, but if we don't mention it, nobody knows why we aren't behaving normally. I stay home a lot. :-)

Thanks so much for your gentle understanding. ♥

I was just thinking how you are doing the other day. I'm really sorry you feel so poorly and I admire you that you can still use the little energy you have to be there for your friend in hospital.
Although I love your dark humour about perhaps being able to sleep next spring, I do hope your doctor can do something for you to decrease the pain right now.

And I never doubt you still like everybody you liked before. Even if you are not able to post, you still are to me a kind of invisble force of kindness in this fandom.

Ugh, I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. I've given up on PT or anything else helping and just use cannabis but it does have its drawbacks, that's for sure (like, essentially, ALL you can do is sleep...and it doesn't always work). I hope your friend will be all right. :(
