E.g. what you notice. <br>Self: You in your own experience(s). E.g. what you interpret. <br>Social: You in your own perspective(s). E.g. what others interpret. <br>Future: You as you will be, from what you may be. E.g. what future-you can choose. </p><p>Bodymind = physical, physiological, bodily, organ, whatever. <br>Self = thoughts, feelings, emotions, intangibles, head / time, narrative. <br>Social = expression, preferences, desires, grouping, identity markers, non-medical decisions. <br>Future = livelihood, occupying your time, hobbies, skills, certifications, living situation, household needs, social interactions. </p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/pain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pain</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ChronicPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicPain</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/spoonie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spoonie</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>medicine</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/MedMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MedMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/comms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comms</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communication</span></a></p>
