when i was a kid I was really bad (or really good depending on your definition) at hidden object games. which is to say that I would not specifically search for the objects the book asked me to look for. no. that would make no sense. what i instead did was open a spreadsheet

i then proceeded to list every single object in the image in my excel spreadsheet, highlighting the objects the book asked me to find in red as i went. Then, by the end, not only had i found the objects, I had also found and categorized all of the other objects as well. This way, if anyone asked me to find any other objects in that image, i was fully prepared

on an unrelated note i was diagnosed as autistic before third grade

Our beautiful home

after a long day of doing laundry for the entire neighborhood, i walk into my kitchen and cook an amazing gourmet feast, which i then eat entirely while crouched in the corner set aside for dining. afterwards, i tuck my son into solitary confinement before making the long trek down the master bedroom hallway to bed, where i settle in with my wife who just finished bathing in our second bathroom's indoor swimming pool

you understand

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

This is how vicodin addictions begin...

Vicodin is an opiod (specifically, it is the opiod Hydrocodone mixed with acetaminophen so that you can give people a lower dose of the hudrocodone and have it still be effective.)

Opiods are a whole other situation than just OTC painkillers. Opiod addiction is a complex and tragic thing- a mix of unresolved chronic pain, lack of social support networks, and the chemical dependency that opiods create in the body.

It is unhelpful fear mongering to suggest that taking Tylenol when you have a headache or period cramps is a gateway to opiod abuse.

Even when talking about opioids a lot of chronic pain patients do not take their prescribed medication unless things are absolutely horrible, exactly because of this rhetoric! People deserve to have relief without always being side-eyed about addiction. AND people with addictions shouldn’t be your fucking boogey man prop to scare people out of taking medication when they need it.

Anyway, back to pain. Especially chronic pain.

It is harder to calm a body down than to keep it from getting to the breaking point in the first place. If you let your pain get to a fever pitch before taking you medication, you’ve already done damage and the opioid may not be able to bring you back from that.

So some people think they need to take more to make it work, except they shouldn’t take more, they should have had it time managed so that their pain doesn’t explode to the point where an opioid would do little to help.

Toughing it out can also compound complex issues.

For example: You are in pain. You feel you should be “used to it” by now, or some other nonsense. So. You don’t take your pain meds, so you feel more tense, so your muscles spasm more, so it’s not safe for you to do normal activities (cooking, driving, etc), so you do something safe and more passive, like reading or goingo n the internet, so you develop a tension headache or even trigger a migraine, so you stress out your joints, your body gets put on alert mode, you feel mentally stressed, your focus is harder to draw away from the pain, the pain and one’s perception of it, increases. You now have to spend a full few days in bed because you tried to tough out your body when it needed help.

Addiction can ruin lives. But so can chronic pain.

Folks need to stop scare mongering about medication in general. Take your meds, use them when needed, if you think there may be a problem, talk to your doctor and help manage things. Don’t be scared to take your medication.
