Comment by choerrylullaby on A cognitive intervention for wrist pain · 2021-06-09T20:30:05.191Z · LW · GW

Hi! I'm 21 years old and 4 years ago I had to leave Fine Arts University due to my wrists pain. At that moment I was suffering from depression and anxiety and I don't know what to do right now.

It's been 4 years and I still have every single day wrist, hand and arm pain even when I'm resting. I went to lots of doctors and every medical test turns out okay and it's so painful sometimes but there isn't evidence in any medical test that I have something and I'm desesperate.

Being an artist was my dream but I had to change my entire life to adapt to this situation. I haven't drawn in years it's so painful but even daily home chores are painful and I don't know what to do.

It's interesting trying a psychological approach but I don't know where to start, I'm so tired of this. If someone could help me I would be so grateful, thanks.
