So I wait.
Uhh guys why did my doctor recommend cbt for my fibromyalgia. I'm open to treatments but cock and ball torture seems a bit far.
The hardest thing for me to accept since becoming disabled is the fact that my progress in the majority of things that I do will be so much slower than it is for everyone else.
I'm trying to reframe my thinking and start being grateful when I can partake in hobbies and just enjoy the process instead of being focused on how quickly I'm progressing compared to able bodied people.
I've always been an "all or nothing" type of person and that type of thinking really doesn't work now when I have to pace myself and allocate my energy each day depending on what needs to get done
This is because everything in my life requires work:
maintaining friendships
keeping up with my hygiene

It's always, "ew, you smoke? You should quit. Have you tried patches and gum?" and never "oh, you smoke? Do you need help organizing the working class against capitalism and the American healthcare system, so that you can eventually have access to proper mental and physical healthcare instead of being forced to rely on nicotine and weed to sand the edges off your disabled brain and get some relief for your chronic pain? In the meantime, here's a light. Sorry you have to self-medicate in our fucked-up society."
Anyway, join a union.
