It’s strange thinking about how much pain I’ve grown to accept and have just learned to live with.
I love writing by hand too much to give it up - with my ADHD it helps me focus, remember thins better, think through complex ideas. Journaling has been a great way to manage my mental illnesses. I love paper, I love collecting notebooks.
Not to mention that I am a hobbyist artist and draw on a regular basis. (Somehow that has been less painful for me than writing… but if writing cramped my hand then drawing would be agonizing too and I’d have to take weeks off on a nearly constant basis).
So suddenly purchasing a new kind of pen and realizing it MADE THE PAIN DISAPPEAR feels like magic. I literally feel less disabled.
I just wish I bought a fountain pen years ago 😅
