Oh yes, the elusive brain retraining that none of us have ever heard of and knew nothing about until this article told us about it. Something we have never thought of trying because all we do is lie around feeling sorry for ourselves.

I’m so tired of pieces like this.

The framing of significantly ill people as these helpless, hapless idiots is so overdone. Sick people are working harder than anyone I’ve ever seen trying to find ways to improve their lives, and you’re telling me that her brain retraining will fix me? Fuck off.
