I have posted about this before, but I have given up so many hobbies because my body sucks. I get pain everywhere. I painted Warhammer, wrist pain, I tried drawing, pain in hand, tried pixel art, wrist pain, I tried lego, pain somewhere I can’t even remember.
My body is so ■■■■■■■ fragile and I have to give up all hobbies that involves hands, which is basically every hobby I have to do.
The only hobby I have left is watching movies and tv series.
■■■■ you life. But I’m getting used it now.
I won’t try more hobbies, because they will probably fail because of whatever it is causing this pain.
Not sure if it’s the medication or the fact that I was on a restrictive vegan diet for 4 years… it probably wasn’t good for me, maybe it damaged my body. If it was the vegan diet that’s kind of funny, that’s what you get for trying to do something nice for the animals and the planet.
I went to the doctor for it a long time ago. He gave me some pills but you can’t use them long term, so I didn’t even bother. They would just mask the pain, and when I had to stop, it would come back.
@TheFountainPen maybe it can strengthen the joints, but I don’t have anywhere to swim, and I have anxiety to go places so it wouldn’t work out.
I will try using a trackpad for art… that’s the last thing I will try after trying to fix ergonomics and testing 3 different PC mice. If that doesn’t work I will stop trying and accept it.
I’m getting increasing hand shake from non-genetic Parkinson’s and I’m a photographer. I’m using higher ISOs, shutter speeds, and a tripod where needed now. Can’t stop me.
I feel for you. My physical health issues prevents me from doing my hobbies. The doctors can’t fix my problems currently so I’m very depressed about it. I feel like I’ve been robbed of joy.
