Pain and autism

Hi there, I recently joined this page and I hope it's okay to talk about how I'm feeling. Sometimes it all becomes extremely overwhelming and I feel like I need to vent a little. Sorry if my English isn't good grammatically. I hope that what I'm trying to say makes sense.

The past year and a half/two years I've been dealing with ibd, depression, chronic pain (neck, shoulders, hands), daily (severe) headaches, tremors, exhaustion and lately things have been getting worse, despite looking for/actively engaging in treatment. It's becoming harder and harder to partake in/enjoy in my hobby's and it's starting to weigh on me.

I'm still in the middle of figuring out what's wrong with me. I have a neurologist, go to multiple types of therapy and I'm on meds. However, progress is slow to non-existent and I often feel like I'm just waiting for something to finally work. Unfortunately, I also have autism which makes it harder for me to speak up about myself or to advocate for my needs, especially when things are getting worse. I feel like I don't have enough reason to speak up/ask for help, as someone else probably has it worse than me and might deserve help more than I do. Whenever I do speak up, it comes out wrong and I feel like that makes the whole process a lot harder than it needs to be.

Through (psychological) therapy I feel like I have made quite some progress already, and I'm proud of that. However, on days like this, I just don't know what to do. The not knowing what's going on might be the hardest part. Does anyone else feel like this, feeling like their symptoms are just not responding the way they're supposed to? How do you handle it? It would mean the world to me to find community here, to have people around who truly get it.

[Offer] Help me destash! [Worldwide + Europe]

Over the past six months I've gathered a plethora of cards and I'd like to destash! I have multiple types of cards for offer.

  • Arboretum cards (10)
  • Winnie The Pooh (5)
  • Tourist postcard London - folded, in envelope (2)
  • Tourist postcard Cologne (2)
  • Postcard with illustration (examples) (8)

I have more, but I feel like this might be a good place to start. They will hopefully be send out throughout May-June-July-August 2026. I'm often in chronic pain which prevents me from writing.

Want a card? Please complete the form and reply underneath this post. What made you choose this type of card? 💌 Edit: will close the form/this post once it has gotten 30 replies, there's so many, I can't keep track haha.
