i just spoke to my neurologist, and last time we spoke she said that if the pain keeps away then we could think about slowly quitting the medication in 3 months (which is now). bc i might be ~cured~

well the pain came back and i had to up the meds in those 3 months and i'm still having pain. n this time she just asked if i can tolerate it or not and reminded me not to get pregnant

so i guess this is for life huh.

how do you like come to terms with having a chronic condition aah

there is sadly not much to do with it, i understand it is difficult to come to terms with, but the faster you manage the better. it will be like this for a long time and you have to just accept it to make things more "acceptable", long term it will probably make your mental health better than if you wallow in misery about something that is what it is : (

i hope things will be adequate, at the very least

I didn't say so either, I was just thinking about how my dad reacted to his diagnosis compared to how my mate's dad reacted on the exact same diagnosis. I think it's better to just accept it although it's obviously going to be hard. I hope you have friends and/or family that can help you and make things more bearable. Chronic illness is horrible. Talk to a psychologist about it, in general, talk with people about it. I'm not saying you should talk to everyone all the time about it, but be honest, tell people you trust how you feel, no one wants the people they care about to feel horrible. Likely they won't be able to help you fix the problem, but feeling like someone listens and cares might do good?

i'm chronically ill and been on meds for eight years now and will likely be on meds for my whole life. Took years to get used to being on meds and am still very annoyed that i'm ill but i've slowly accepted that it's how things are and my life will always be like this. I'm not enjoying it and I don't have to. It's okay to have whatever feelings you have about it. Being sad and angry and grieving is okay. After I realized that I can use my illness as an excuse to turn in my assignments late, not do shit, and be a baby I became a bit more okay with it. It's gonna restrict me anyways so I might as well try to use it for my own advantage whenever I want to.
