Definitely my feelings #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #catheterlife #MentalHealthAwareness #mentalhealthmatters #MentalHealth

Ive not been on here in a while .Since march I have long term catheterised which has caused so many issues,non stop hospital stays which along the way now dealing with other problems.Mentally I am so drained I feel miserable that I'm not who I was 9 months ago,I can barely do anything.ive become basically house bound and most days the pain stops me even doing simple daily tasks.i feel like such a failure as a mum and as me in general .I hate seeing myself in the mirror now with cathter, more scars from the skin cancer biopsies,having to use walking aid due to the spinal issues & pain I just hate what I see and what i am now.But I'm so fed up feeling this way and I try so hard but each day between pain and everything going on my aims to try and feel better seem to just completely become non existent.....

I hope everyone is well ♥️

A smile can hide many things .... #MentalHealth #mentalhealthmatters #Anxiety #ChronicDepression #Depression #Selfcare #Parenting

Just because someone is smiling doesn't mean they're FINE .Just because someone you see that is unwell or has been dealing with any physical or mental health issues is smiling doesn't meant they're BETTER .It doesn't mean they're OK now or that they're not in pain .Usually alot of the time it's because they are used to dealing with their struggles and pain and are just trying to put on a smile and get on with it .You never know how much someone is really struggling so don't judge them .Don't just assume or make comments to them about their health being better or because they don't look sick if they're smiling or have managed to get dressed or go out .You've no idea how much it's taken them to even do that ....
And you never know just how much someone need syour kindness today ♥️

BE KIND ♡
YOU MATTER ♡
LOVE YOURSELF ♡

Reality .... #MentalHealth #mentalhealthmatters #ChronicPain #Anxiety #Depression #Selfcare #CheckInWithMe

😂😂😂 this is definitely the reality when suffering with chronic pain , anxiety ,depression ,fatigue ,physical pain or just mentally struggling.
When you feel like you need a rest after just taking a shower because your so drained .....

It's the little things that seem so simple to others that can really take so much working upto actually doing & then struggling so much after doing it .

No good answers #InterstitialCystitis #BladderProblems

Today I woke up with bladder pain. Nothing too unusual given that I have #InterstitialCystitis and a prolapsing bladder. I went to work and I started peeing blood. Not normal. Actually scary. Haven’t had that happen before. Called urology. They said to go urgent for a urinalysis. They found large amounts of blood and protein and sent me to the ER. The ER doctor decided it was an infection. But my urine tests were not conclusive. My WBC was 247 normal range is 0-10. But there was no major sign of infection. Sent home with antibiotics and told to take pyridium and pain meds and to call urology. I was flabbergasted that I was discharged with high urine protein and blood. It feels like the doctor just didn’t know and didn’t want to deal with a complicated case but gave me antibiotics to cover themselves. I’m home with a heating pad trying to rest. The doctor said it may be your prolapse. It may be your IC. It may be infection but we don’t know. I hate when doctors don’t even try. Now I have to wait till at least Monday for my normal urologist to read these tests. So I just sit and wait in pain. Sometimes all I want is an answer. #InterstitialCystitis #Endometriosis #ChronicIllness

What do you do when you have a UTI and no access to a doctor, nurse or antibiotics for four days? #InterstitialCystitis #UTI

Hey there. So, I’ve been prone to having urine infections since I was 8 years old. I have a condition called Interstitial Cystitis. I’m 100% certain that I currently have a UTI but tomorrow I have a hospital appointment that will last all day and then I’ll have no access to a doctor, nurse or antibiotics until Monday.

I’m drinking as much water as I can. it currently feels like my urethra is getting pricked with a sharp needle over and over again and my bladder won’t stop spasming. I should say now, I cannot have cranberry juice.

Thank you all in advance! #BladderProblems #UTI #InterstitialCystitis #painful #pleasehelp
