Who do you hold on for?

I’ve been struggling with my mental health lately — and it’s in direct correlation with how poor my physical health has been. Each day feels like an Olympic event in survival, a mini marathon of hanging onto a ledge that feels like it’s coated in butter. But I hold on for my parents. I hold on for my partner. I hold on for my friends. I hold on for my incredible coworkers. I hold on for my dog. And I do this because they make me want to keep living. They continue to reach out with their hands and I want so badly to grip tight and pull them into a hug.

What’s the hardest part about being undiagnosed?

Being undiagnosed can be challenging, confusing, and frustrating. From the frequent doctor visits to the unfamiliar symptoms, searching for clarity can feel like a roller coaster. What are your experiences? What do you think is the hardest part about being undiagnosed? #Undiagnosed #MightyTogether #CheckInWithMe #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #RareDisease #MentalHealth #SpoonieD

This is the first time I have felt comfortable enough to post anything online about my mental health and it feels refreshing and enlightening.

These are the stories that the world needs. We’re all struggling, and the more that we recognize ourselves in the stories of others, the more compassion we have for others & for ourselves.
