The biggest difference to my life now, compared to a couple of years ago, has been recognising that living in chronic pain - let alone with everything else - is living in a situation of daily, ongoing trauma & stress, and, as a result, committing to seeing a counsellor regularly. It seems small, but that hour a month is like having a pressure relief valve that frees up a little more mental & emotional space and helps create more capacity for coping with & enjoying my life more. I’m profoundly thankful for the charity that make it possible.

"If you would just exercise more, you wouldn't feel so tired". Are you freaking kidding me?! Remember when you had COVID and could barely walk to the bathroom and back to your bed without wanting to collapse into a puddle? THAT is how I feel after 2 minutes of exercise! Argh!!! #frustration #AutonomicDysfunction #HypermobilitySyndrome #cancersurvivor

I have had a job now for 10 years. I am struggling due to some health issues. This caused me to have a bad review. While I have not been fired, the writing is on the wall that I am no longer needed. They have put me in a role that I am not interested in and I am failing at it. Of course my brain tells me that they finally caught onto me doing shit work and being lazy for the last ten years and that I am just finally getting what I deserve. I want to believe that I have worked hard over the last ten years. I want to believe that I have gotten a shitty health shake and I am mentally and physically struggling but my brain keeps telling me I am a lazy sack of sh** and I shouldn't be surprised they finally caught onto me. #cancersurvivor #heartfailure #Depression #Anxiety #ADHD #PTSD

You know, this is hard...it is hard living with all these disabling health conditions. It is hard losing friendships over the years and hard making new friendships. I feel at such a loss. I talked to my therapist about it and she suggested I take advantage of these groups on here and reach out for additional help.

I am not one to reach out for help at all, but I am reaching a dark place. I really need friendship and support. I would love to meet someone who is in my state (North Carolina) or at least someone who may be interested in chatting on the phone OR video calls and we just check in on one another, vent, be each others support.

If there is anyone here in my state or who is interested, please reach out to me. I am in my 30's...but age doesn't matter to me.

I am struggling with both these things and feel very overwhelmed. #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #cancersurvivor #NonHodgkinsLymphoma #Anxiety #Depression #Cancer

Thinking of you all today as I go through my day. Today has been 1 of my more decent ones. Definitely not pain free as those days don't exist. Only to run an errand and come back to excruciating pain. In that moment, I thought of all of you and remembered I am not alone in this. If you need to, today say that to yourself - "I am not alone in this".

Sending you love and all the virtual hugs you can handle.
