Our brains often confuse emotional pain for physical pain and vice versa, so the knee jerk response is usually to send signals to tell your body to rest. I like to remind myself of this when I'm feeling particularly down. >

How does one overcome this inconvenience >

It boils down to checking in with yourself.
Where is the pain? What does it feel like? Is it emotional? Or physical? 
If it’s emotional, you need to rest to heal from that too!
Emotions are hard on the body. 
Set a timeline of how long you’ll be a hermit, then prevent getting stuck there by putting yourself in new / possibly fun situations.
Don’t know why you’re upset? It could be an underlying health issue. 
I grew up confused about emotions - at times, I’d cry (read: sob. for a long time.) and not know why. In hindsight, that was allergy induced.
It can even be BOTH physical and emotional pain, and that’s understandable too. 
Be patient with, and check in on yourself as you explore your limits of what triggers pain and how much you can take of what stimuli. 
At the end of the day, pain is still a response to something you need to heal from. 
You’ll still be hurting, you’ll still feel tired. 
But as your biggest and best advocate, knowing the source of your pain sets you up for success in healing. >

Thank you for this. I needed it. As someone with both anxiety/depression and a chronic autoimmune disorder, I suffer from pain... a lot. Sometimes I feel like my brain is just making it up because it is looking for something to be wrong (my anxiety stems from a traumatic medical experience). It helps to hear that I'm not crazy for feeling like my brain is trying to tell me I'm in pain when I'm not sure I am. It's so frustrating and exhausting. >

So happy to hear it was helpful 🥺❤️ It blew my mind to learn this little tid bit and it's helped me so much.
You're not alone!
Having an invisible illness sets us up for gaslighting from sooo many sources, so our default response  is often just gaslighting ourselves. And sometimes, it's literally just that the pain is so chronic that we've accepted it as normal until there's some relief otherwise.
It's truly exhausting having to keep a pulse on what's going on and not knowing if it'll ever get better.
Here's hoping we meet the right people in our medical journey, and modern medicine moves quickly to give us the relief we need. >

I definitely feel this. I have gotten so used to the pain that a day without pain causes me some stress. Like I don't know what to do when I'm not in pain. 
And yes! I get so disappointed when I get to a point where I'm feeling good and doing everything I need to feel good, just to have it come back. It feels like starting back at square one. I know it isn't though. Back then, I just suffered because I didn't know what to do. Now I know that I have to rest (like you said) and what I have to do to feel better again. 
I wish you relief and strength in your journey! I hope you have found the support you need, not just from your doctors! Good luck! >

My brain is so stupid that it paralyzed me near the end of December and decided it won't make the damn connection to my legs anymore
