I have recently discovered that I am hypermobile but social anxiety and the pain prevent me from going to a doctor (also I don't trust them and they scare me) Do you have any tips on living with chronic pain? Anything from over-the-counter drugs and physical aids to tips for everyday tasks I know I'll have to talk to a doctor someday but in the meantime I'd like to be able to survive lol

Please see a doctor. You shouldn't have to live in constant pain. A doctor should be able to get you on a pain management plan and help you live your life. They may also be able to help with the anxiety.
