GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 days agoYeah, I suffer from chronic pain, too, though not to the degree that you appear to. It’s kind of funny because I know I’m really tired or mentally exhausted when I start noticing all the pain I normally have, but just haven’t even noticed for hours before.
It’s impressive what the mind can tolerate.

Your brain can take a hell of a lot of abuse until it can’t.
I was holding it together for nearly 3 decades before it was unable to keep up with major sleep deprivation anymore. 10-12 hours of sleep a night and a nap midday couldn’t keep me going.
I was blacking out time while driving, had barely any memory, had involuntary muscle spasms and couldn’t physically recover from injury in a reasonable time.
Once I started on CPAP I recovered by leaps and bounds, I sleep way less but am fully present in the world, like being on high dose of caffeine without taking anything.
