I agree that sleep and exercise are key.

Some have pain and/or insomnia waking them up at night with the inability to get back to sleep quickly or at all, and some have pain/injuries that make exercise less fun.

Telling us to sleep and exercise is like telling homeless and starving people to get off the streets, find a job, eat a good dinner, and buy a house. It sounds nice, and we’ll do our best, but the world you live in is different, and you don’t understand.

True, but as someone with a pain condition... Most throwaway suggestions won't help out. People always try to help, but rarely can. That's fine. Take the kindness, discard the advice.

But because I've struggled with this thing for decades, I probably do have enough tools to find my own way. And if I've run out, it means I'm about to burnout and need to find a way to restore ASAP.

When people are giving generic advice, they're obviously not talking about corner cases.

Don't be such a victim. Not everyone is going to think of your exact situation in every sentence they write.

I'm gonna call you out on this one, sorry.

Telling someone who is victim not to be such a victim is... Nothing but being a dick. They're hurting. There's better ways to talk to people. That people don't think of them, is kinda how they end up being a victim in the first place. They fall through the cracks, and that makes them more vulnerable.

Was this the time and place? Probably not.

Are you helping? Fuck no.

Your sentence did not address every possible marginalized group, and is therefore willfully disregarding their situation.

Your swearing is offensive to someone reading your post. Your misuse of grammer as well. What about the people who can't read your post because they are blind, have dyslexia, don't have access to the Internet, etc.? How dare you!

Did you consider the viewpoint of every possible person who could have read your post before you submitted it? Of course not, because that's impossible, and would be an insane request to make.

		You made a personal attack. There were better ways of speaking. You've now tried again, to make a personal attack. (I'm so sorry my grammar isn't American. I'm not.) How about, if you really want the conversation, you post more than flamebait?
