itโs a tough week for musical ghosts ๐
PREACH
๐ Someone just told me "exercise shouldn't hurt at all, if it does, you're doing it wrong" because I said I was resting because everything hurt like hell after exercising a little the other day and I literally laughed in their face. Like I'm sorry, but I have a chronic pain disorder, everything hurts, all the time. If pain means I'm doing something wrong, I've been doing everything wrong for years.
But please enlighten me more about how my body should feel doing exercise, when you're a random able-bodied fucker who I never asked for advice from in the first place.
I don't just drop it hella low...
I just drop
You don't feel like wearing your compression socks today?
That's fine,
But just think of how good your calves would look if you did.
My favorite thing about having a best friend who shares custody of a single braincell is that one second you are acting like graduates of Harvard and having really deep conversations, and the next you are acting like 5 year olds laughing at fart jokes.

This is aimed more towards the Service Dog community...
Okay, so I have had multiple diagnosis over the past few years. My lovely list includes POTS, hEDS, essential tremors, ect. I am a Junior in HS and I am wanting to owner-train a service dog. My mom thinks that exercise and medication will make me better. The meds that doctors have previously given me haven't worked and I just got an exercise program that is specific to my conditions about a five months ago, and have seen little improvement. I rely a lot on my mom to help me do things and when I get to college, she won't be there to help me anymore. I want to become more independent and really struggle to do so now.
We don't have the money to get a dog professionally trained and I have made it clear that I would be willing to put in all the work. My mom has said on multiple occasions that when our *pet* dog dies, that she doesn't want any more (not because she hates animals, but because she loves to travel) I have explained that a service dog is not considered a pet and that it is a piece of medical equipment. She also says that I can just use our arthritic 8yo dog instead of getting an actual sd because I will get better and won't need one later on. I have done extensive research on what breeds that would best fit my needs, what tasks it would need to learn, and how to train them. I have also spent hours upon hours reading our local and state laws as well as the ADA's.
So...I guess my question is, when did you know that you needed a service dog? And how can I convince my mother?
Edit: She is now saying that if I get a Service dog, our pet has to go live somewhere else.
