      Medication, structure, additional societal resources, whatever it is that is prescribed is only helpful if it actually helps not just points out why something is broke or stuck in someone’s life.

        Yeah, I used to be really athletic as a teenager, but then had a fall, dislocated my knee, and had to put it back myself because I couldn’t afford medical treatment pre-Obamacare.

        Now, twenty years and many injuries later, it turns out I’ve got a connective tissue disorder that makes my joints really weak. It was never addressed, so my feet keep going to first position for extra support, but thats wrecking my hips.

        I don’t know how to be active without hurting myself further, and I can’t afford a pro to spot me.
