Alt Text of image
Alt text of image: a screenshot of a comment box and its editing options, with a dark theme, grey and dark grey background with white text. A skinny white arrow points to the “spoiler” option, which is an exclamation point inside of a diamond, and the 13th or second-from-the-last icon in the middle of the photo and at the top of the light grey comment box that reads “Type here to comment…” in white italic font
After clicking it, substitute the second “spoiler” with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
after feeling a bit of relief for the past year or so with my chronic pain it has suddenly come back with a vengeance and now i am back on the cane and the physical therapy and i have an MRI scheduled to check if anything is new internally. woohoo /s
at the very least my mental health has finally been improving i think! its still difficult though because i feel like i lost an entire year to my bipolar disorder. i cannot remember anything from january-november of last year and i feel like i woke up from a coma? which i guess is to be expected with the dissociation i felt. shits weird
Sorry to hear that friendo :( <3 you’re not alone. Good luck!
Would you mind telling me about your bipolar? Not being nosy, it’s just more and more I think I might have it and I’m in two minds about whether to seek help or not.
Hopefully the MRI will help find what’s going on and the PT helps, but it’s great that you’re feeling better mentally at least! Dissociating can be a very strange experience.
