Injuries

Thank you all for your feedback. I hurt a muscle in my back and couldnt do much without sharp stabbing pain in my back. Walking hurt, sitting hurt, twisting hurt standing hury. Every movement hurt. As a Someone who is accident prone, i should be used to this situation. This is a particularly tough one.

I had back surgery at the end of December. I'm still struggling, even though I'm no longer doubled over in pain. This really exacerbates the ADHD, because I am not only limited in what I can do outside the house, but I can't do much housework. I spent so many years being called lazy that even my legitimate reasons seem like excuses ( in my head)

My therapist told me to, first and foremost, have compassion for myself. I struggle with creating and following routines. Currently, I am working on just getting to bed on time to allow my body to rest. When I can do this my tendency to accidentally injure myself should decrease. Self compassion and regular healthy sleep helps the body to heal.

Develop new self-care routines and prioritize dealing with your injuries. I make them my central focus
