Maybe not the kind of answer you’d expect here, but getting seriously injured and becoming crippled.
Its pretty hard to do basically anything when half the muscles in your body don’t work right and seize and cause immense pain, for hours at a time.
… Don’t take anything for granted.
I’m a year into daily at home physical therapy, and I’ve improved a lot, out of the wheel chair, out of the braces, now I can hobble around with just a cane…
But holy shit, becoming crippled is a pretty good way to get humbled and get a perspective shift on your entire body… and life in general…
…and then doing a year plus of exceedingly painful work, and seeing it pay off, being able to do things you haven’t been able to do in 2 years… you know, like stand and take a piss? Put your shoes or pants on without sitting down? Use a fucking fork?

Feels good, man.
Sorry you are going through that, hope things get better for you!
Slowly but surely, they are. Thanks!
Yeah, it’s one of those things I remind myself of from time to time. To be grateful that my body works, and mostly doesn’t hurt.
Kudos for working through it
