There has to be somewhere where you can say that this has been hard and this is the place.
This is very true. I'm sorry, Burrell.

I feel like I do nothing but vent these days.
And as sarameg said, that's okay. (Also, probably not really true, even if it feels like it.) It's okay to feel that way, and it's ok to vent about it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm also at the point where I need to ask for a few accommodations from work. I'm kinda overwhelmed.

Good lord, Burrell, vent away. Better to vent then to implode or explode.

Pain tolerance is weird. I always thought of my self as having high pain tolerance and various experiences with extractions under local (including one case where the whatevercain wore off during the extraction and they asked me if I wanted them to numb me again, and I said "just finish")seemed to confirm it. But when it comes bulging discs pressing on my nerve I am a total wimp - need tramadol to tolerate it. So apparently pain tolerance can vary with body part.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, damn. Burrell, it's ok. It's ok to complain, it's ok to hurt, it's ok to be tired, it's ok to be conflicted, it's ok to be goddamned mad, it's just ok. OK?
What sarameg said. I'm so sorry you're going through this, Burrell. DO what you need to do, which definitely includes asking for some help at work.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Burrell, Happy birthday. And I'm glad that you have this safe place to vent so that you can be in good-sister mode where you have to be.
Happy birthday, Calli.
I have an untrustworthy pain tolerance. For things that creep up gradually, I don't really feel it until I'm about to fall over. I've had people point out some illness or other condition and I sort of resented it because I was doing ok until they said something. That may be a feature of my AD/HD brain - hyperfocus on tasks at hand, ignoring everything else including pain. But sudden things hurt hurty McHurt Hurt. Tears come to my eyes for papercuts.

Burrell, here is a really good place to say the things that are honest but can't be said around people personally affected, for whatever reason. Y'all were a godsend with my mom when I had to be strong, or sensitive, or careful. We won't judge, nor take too much to heart anything you want to restate or rethink down the road.
