    Every morning I worry that I won’t be able to move much because of my disabilities. Most days it’s not a problem, sometimes I need braces, other times I’m pretty much stuck in bed.

        Yeah it’s really not fun, thankfully my girlfriend understands and helps me if I need it. Also getting used to the pain and signs of when it’s about to strike helps. You find ways to deal with it.

        I keep a pouch on my backpack just for braces/mobility aids. Got 2 compression gloves in there, 2 splints (left and right ones), a compression sleeve for my arm, a knee brace, an ankle brace, and my cane. I also have compression socks but I don’t keep those in there.

    I might find it a bit too easy to worry …

    • worried of ending up homeless
    • worried of losing access to hot water
    • worried of freezing to death in my house because the utility company fucked up
    • worried of ending up in a prison or concentration camp because of who I am, who I love, or because I have to flee war, famine, or political persecution

    I have an irrational fear of the flesh eating disease. Every time I get a cut I have to wash the hell out of it, immediately, and drench it in disinfectant. Admittedly, it’s a good habit.
