i’ve had chronic pain so i was 15 due to a car accident. im now 20 and its only getting worse. it used to sit in my back but now its radiated down to my legs and likes to sit specifically in my joints. my knees and ankles hurt the worst. i also have a problem with eating regularly because the pain gets so bad i cant stand up so on top of that pain my stomach hurts all the time from not eating.

i try telling the people around me and i get told to suck it up because there’s people out there who hurt worse. i can’t work, i can’t spend time with my family, i can barely walk without falling. i have a cane when the pain gets really bad but there’s only so much that does. i’ve tried smoking weed and that works but i don’t have a job so i can’t regularly buy it. i just can’t do this anymore, my own mother sees me as a freeloader. i can’t do the pain anymore.
