and like even if it is just headache.. HEADACHES SUCK! we need to normalize actually taking a break when you have pain, ignoring it because it's "no big deal" is so fucking toxic

Exactly. Like I have to ignore a lot of pain constantly, but that's cause I live with chronic pain 24/7/365. So if I want to do anything with my life I have to deal with it when it's manageable. But when it passes my threshold I am out. Done, I need to rest, take a break, meds, nap, etc. And then I get shamed by people "for not being able to handle a little pain", even though I'm in more pain every day than many people have ever been in.
