been logging flares since january. triggers, time of day, sleep, what i did 48 hours before. the whole thing. last week i got curious and went back through the same weeks and counted how many times i’d said no to something social. 23 times in three months. i already knew i was cancelling more. i didn’t know it was that consistent. averaging roughly 8 a month, which is almost every other plan i make. the depressing part is the timing makes sense now that i can see it laid out. almost all the friday/saturday nos came after weeks with extra physical work days. two came right after shifts where i had to cover stairs repeatedly. imo the pain lag i keep talking about is showing up in the social data too. so the isolation didn’t creep up randomly. it’s structured. it tracks. which somehow makes it feel more permanent than if it were chaotic. what i don’t know is whether naming it like this helps or just turns loneliness into a pattern i feel like i can’t break. anyone else ever quantified this stuff and regretted it?
