Hi there! I have also been struggling for a while now. I think what has really helped me has been seeing a therapist. It’s been really beneficial for me and she really has helped me cope with my pain. I am very lucky to also have very supportive friends. They try their best to understand me even though they do not. They help me out during school and are there when I’m at my lowest. They also understand when I need to be alone. What has also helped me is giving myself time to heal and rest. I used to always want to get things done but then my body would shut down. It took me a long time to learn when I was getting to my low point and then learning when I should stop before my body shuts down. So really a LOT of self care really helped me. I always but myself 1st now. Message me if you ever need anything or want to talk :) I’m still learning how to manage my pain!💗
