I MUST NOT do what I love

@speckofdust
I have braces, splits and thing like these. Also some were prescribed by a hand doctor, but it actually causes more pain. I will see the doctor next week.

Now, I started writing to lecturers about my situation, but I found out I have to communicate it through another part of university so it will take longer

And again, I have problems relaxing mentally as all my hobbies/interests require hand use

How about the wax treatments? Fingerless gloves/compression? You have to kiss all the frogs to get to the prince, sometimes.

I haven't tried wax yet, we will see what will the doctor say. I have also tried several gloves/bandages and no help. Also, I gave magnets a try. The doctor told me that excercising would be bad for me and only cause more pain.

I really wish the treatment will take less time than in autumn because I couldn't do anything so I was just bored, tired, reasonably unproductive and I have noone to turn to

The alone part can be rough. I have some hobbies/activities that aren't as "hand-dependent," like bird watching, getting out in nature, creating playlists on streaming music, watching movies and series on streaming, talking on the phone with friends, reading, and walking at the mall (or Target, Kohl's, etc.). I hope you can find some relief in all areas, soon! Peace!

Yeah, you are quite lucky in these areas. Unfortunately, watching movies/listening to podcasts is not my favorite thing to do (nowadays, I watch almost only sports). Music... That's actually why this thread exists... And yeah, my friends turn their backs to me (quite regularly) so that's not a relief as well

Bud, all I can say is keep your mind open. Friends and family come and go, but you always have you. You are worthy. You have value.

Don't worry, I'm completely aware of my strengths and I know I deserve things I want in my life. That's why it is sometimes depressive seeing how people act towards me.

So... The problem with my wrist is definitely back. I need to undergo the shot treatment once more, but I don't know what should I do afterwards...

Try writing calculus exam in word despite pain in your hand. I dare you...
