Chronic pain as someone turning 21 sucks. I don’t even want to go out because I know I won’t have fun

Honestly, find a way to do events without pushing yourself. Like getting a mobility aid like a wheelchair if you can or going with friends who are aware of your condition and won’t hesitate to leave with you if you aren’t having fun anymore. I started hosting things myself so that I wouldn’t have to go out and could plan activities I knew I could participate in

Yeah I turned 21 this year too and have found it super difficult that everyone around me wants me to join in their fun but it’s just not fun for me

I host a lot and my friends and I usually hang out at someone’s apartment so I still get to do things but they’ve been going out more. I know they want to go out with me and I want to but I’m still recovering from a surgery on top of preexisting chronic pain. Plus I’m in a huge college town so everywhere is going to be PACKED

That’s totally understandable, I’m sorry that you’re missing out 😭
