The pain never ends. I take the pills I had to fight for, I use all the techniques I’ve been taught over the past 7 years since this began, I surround myself with things I love, and distract myself as best as I can.
Still, it’s there. Eating away at me, at my resolve, my very soul. I want to die because I cannot live. I couldn’t finish school, I can’t work, but I’m “not fucked up enough” to get on disability.
I’m a burden and a poison to everyone around me, no matter how much they deny it. I see the effect I have on people, I see them grow exhausted, depressed, and eventually leave. The only ones who don’t leave are those who feel they don’t have a choice – my family, the two friends who pity me too much to leave me alone, my boyfriend who has nowhere and noone else to go to… And with him being the only exception, they avoid me as much as they are able. Even he avoids me on days like this, where I can’t bring myself to get out of bed and all I do is cry.
I’m so fucking pathetic and I hate it. I don’t want to be a whiny victim. I don’t want to be so useless. But there’s so much wrong and every doctor and therapist I’ve been to for every problem I’ve had have eventually given up (how can a solid lump in my back be felt by a doctor, but not be detected by ultrasound or x-ray?) There’s nothing they can do, the medicine doesn’t work, they can’t fix me.
Why can’t they fix me?

Do you want to be fixed?
Badly. I would give anything to be healthy…
What make you sad? Is it a memory?
I am constantly in physical pain, from many sources. Even with painkillers it’s still there, just not quite as bad. Plus I have a condition called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome which on the worst days prevents me from even sitting up, and I’ll need assistance to walk. I feel there is no meaning in a life like this, where I have to rely on everyone else for everything and fuck up their lives by doing so…
Get a massage regularly, your massage therapist can fix you and the lump in your back. You have friends and family and a boyfriend who all love you so do them a favor and kick life’s ass. You’ll do a great job eventually.
You’re the third person to suggest massage therapy (though my doctor said it wouldn’t help) so I think I might just try that… Thank you for the encouragement
People love to help people so let yourself be helped. You’re worth it.
