Chronic Pain

- The eyes need to show more pain…, but the rest of the face is looking like everything is just fine. I try to hide my pain all the time, especially around people I don't know well, but the eyes tend to give it away.
- If there could be a small pill bottle, a tube of "bengay", icepack/heating pad, or something to highlight the supportive measures those with chronic pain need as a removable accessory that would be great.
- Also, if there could be more stitch marks/scars…most people that have chronic pain have been through many surgeries and feel like we've been put back together repeatedly, but not always correctly.
- As for the filling, I envision this bunny being a bit more firm than others…this is to represent how tough and strong a chronic pain sufferer really is. -
Love the look of this one too!

Maybe a less popular opinion but I prefer that the colour pattern is more unique and not a darker, more monotone colour! A lot of the other health designs already have the more purpley/blue or muted palettes, so its nice to have this design stand out, especially for those who may already own some of the other plushes. My chronic pain always feels loud and prominent, so having the brighter colours makes me feel more heard and seen, since its easy to feel invalidated when its invisible to others : )
totally agree that a pill bottle accessory would be perfect!! and either more wound stitching or bandaids to signify more pain areas

The design is super cute and representative! I would add some ideas:
- Hidden sad heart in the chest . Usually chronic pain patients hide their pain, whether in a greater or lesser way. It could be removed from a small and narrow pocket/hole.
- A smile or :3 face . Related about my previous point, they hide the pain since it is an invisible disease and itsç is better to put a happy face rather than explain to others.
- Baggy eyes . We all know that having chronic pain is exhausting and is reflected very well in the eyes, regardless of where the pain comes from.
- Small removable bandages/band aids . Not all pain comes from the same body part so it would be cool if you could choose which body part to highlight.
The colors and all of the original features are fabulous, a great bunny to cuddle with.
