Hey @Lost_Space_Explorer5,
I feel ya. Helping others, makes us feel effective, valuable, and wanted. Sometimes it doesn't feel that way when we help ourselves as it often requires a lot of vulnerability.
Chronic pain, whether emotional or physical (usually both are together…) is so hard to cope with. I don’t know if it’s comparable but I’ve had to deal with a lot of mobility injuries in my life, some requiring surgery and long bed stays, so trust me when I say I feel ya. Pain is awful, especially when we get into a comfortable groove and then it comes out of nowhere.
I think TV is a great idea, anything that you can really sink into to try and forget the world for a little while.
