Chronic pain is no joke. It can be difficult to listen to people complain about a stubbed toe when you rarely have a moment of peace in your own body. The worst thing about chronic pain, outside of the sensation of pain itself, is that people don't understand that you simply can't do things that those without chronic pain can do. It's socially discouraged to discuss any sort of pain or ailments. When you do try and talk about it, it makes people uncomfortable or gets brushed off altogether. 

There's a reason why laughter is the best medicine. I by no means am implying that looking at some memes about chronic pain will help the physical sensations that hurt you. However, it can be quite comforting to laugh about your struggles, and these memes are for chronic pain havers made by chronic pain havers. If you have any doubts, take a scroll and see what you think.

    brotherlysuggestion Follow Remember: Resting isn't transactional. You don't need to do anything special or extra difficult to deserve a break. You don't need to reach a certain goalpost of suffering and exhaustion before you're allowed time off. Resting for a day doesn't mean that you're obligated to work twice as hard the next day. Humans need variety. Humans need quiet time. Humans need time to "shut off", whatever that looks like for them. You're allowed to be human. You're allowed a break. D

    The word of the day is QUANKED. Listed in "A Glossary of Words Used in the County of Wiltshire," by Dartnell and Goddard (1893), it means "overpowered by fatigue." Now, give me your best sentence. The Obsolete Word of the Day Challenge QUANKED TO BE OVERPOWERED BY FATIGUE "Ooh, make us a cup of tea will you? I'm absolutely quanked!"
