A couple of years ago we tried to take up exercise and physical fitness routine as a method of improving our disability.

We wound up making our disability even worse.

Anon, I am so sorry that you’re going through this. Chronic health conditions are so frustrating and upsetting to live with, especially when you’re trying your best to do it ‘right’ and it’s still not helping.

You have my permission to stop trying to do the “right” things and start doing things that ease your pain and anxiety, even if they aren’t considered “healthy.”
