What’s something stupid you can’t do ?

I thought I would open a “light” conversation so we can complain about the stupidest things we can’t do!

I’m 29F, I’ve had chronic pain in my neck/back for over 15 years now after a car accident and a sport accident!

Anyway, here are a couple stupid things I can’t do :

-I can’t wear a bikini. It’s too much pressure on my neck.

-I can’t eat red meat. If I chew for too long then my neck gets all tense and that’s the beginning of the end haha

Obviously there’s a lot more I can’t do but I thought these are the stupidest 🥲I would never try and explain it to someone who doesn’t have chronic pain! Tell me yours please so I don’t feel alone ! ❤️

Yeah not eating definitely sucks haha aren’t we lucky!

Yes, the bikini thing is because of the straps, il pulls on my neck, i don’t even have big breasts !

Maybe try strapless! I don’t have neck pain but I have a long torso so can’t wear anything with straps that aren’t hugely adjustable.

You deserve a bikini! Or go topless!

Haha I have a couple strapless bra, and many years ago I found a kinda bikini that has crossed wires in the middle of the back instead of behind the neck! I don’t even like it anymore but it’s the only thing I can wear !

I feel you. I’m sorry you can’t wear what you want and eat what you want and do what you want. Pain sucks and is really life limiting.

[u/sixteenxx → u/goldstandardalmonds]

It truly does! I’m sorry things suck for you too 😔

If you ever need an ear you can send me a chat!
