[@Kittarawr]

This music helps me to evade from this life. Im bedridden 23/7 since 2 years and an half with the most painful disease ever known to humankind..more painful than cancer pain, fibromialgia, labor, more painful than getting amputated of a finger without any medication. There's no cure at all. I cant walk since that long. I cant put my feet on the ground. Wheelchair bounded. Also had a machine feeding me through a tube in my belly for 3 years night and day just before that. I had 12 pancreatitis and almost died every time. It started when I turned 16 yo. In a year, I had to stay 8 months at the hospital. Im 30. Im still living with my mom. Also had a toxic and very abusive relationship that lasted 3 years with a guy. Well, he broke up with me for my birthday..he used to laugh when I cried sometimes. Careless and mean.I got an injury to left arm and i cant move at all. I can only type with one hand in bed bed under my blankets.. my dad is going in a desintox center and i have no new from him i never see him either he doesnt call nor come and see me. I will probably have to get amputated soon. I can never work or study again. Doctors said i wont walk and the disease will spread in my whole body. I have around 55 pills to take in a day...I still suffer alot. I just sleep and cant go outside. I have no friends and nobody care. My doctor dropped the case since theres nothing to do. The only person who could understand me was a good friend but he died... and sometimes i dont have enough money and I just cant eat....have crutches since 2 years but cant use them since 2 weeks because of my injuried arm. I also had to get a surgery not long ago for another thing. I cant cook, cant wash dishes or my clothes and cant go out of the house without help its only my mom who helps i habe nobosy else. And its always painful and hard so. CRPS aka suicide disease because many people commit suicide with that amount of pain and no hope of recovering. I try to not give up. Thanks for reading ❤ Life is anything but fair..
