Me: Im Tired And In Pain 24/7. Its Been Like This Since I Can Remember.

Me: I’m tired and in pain 24/7. It’s been like this since I can remember.

My mom: How much water have you had today? Maybe you should go to bed earlier. Maybe if you weren’t sleeping all day, you’d feel better. I don’t remember you complaining about all this as a kid. You know, I’m in pain sometimes, too, but I still do things that have to get done

Me: *wondering why I even try to talk to her anymore*

All of my friends that work at wildlife rehab centers have had to untangle animals from this stuff, or had animals brought in that died in it. This is especially nasty for small owl species.

Therapist: You’re stuck in negative thoughts about yourself and the world around you

Me: Yeah, I know that. How do I fix it?

Therapist: That’s something only you can do

Well what the fuck am I paying you for then?!

Laying in a hospital bed right now because I tried to prove something to my mom (and myself. Mostly myself). Really needed this

Me and who?
