Salutations Everybody!
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.
I would love to not dwell on all the time that I miss when I'm in tremendous pain, so if obligations would stop piling up while I'm down and out that would be much appreciated. Also, obligations cause stress which causes migraines, so the avalanche of misery just keeps gaining momentum. Is this dialectics?
Anyone have any good readings on alleviating the mental health consequences of chronic pain / disability?
