A massage is something essential, that helps with my back pain.

It's also the only human touch (apart from a hand-shake), that I can get.

Yet it's expensive, I'm not earning enough to cover any extra expenses (or to cover regular bills).

So the expense causes me stress.

Then people said to me "You're lucky to have had a massage" - What? It's essential to ease my back pain, I paid a lot of $$ for it (which I do not have spare).

That has nothing to do with luck - it's "Self-Care" at a high cost....
