#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

CheckInWithMe 2h

I hate my appearance

I used to go online and pretend to be other pretty girls to talk to attractive men and when all these men found out who I really was; I got called ugly. There was one guy in particular his name was Mike; he was a white guy with muscles, he called me ugly and fat. I got so much attention from men when I was posing as these pretty girls online when in reality when I am me, no attractive men talk to me or even pay interest in me. I hate the way I look. It sucks. Throughout my whole life men have rejected me. There are so many pretty girls out there that are depressed that I would love to look like. I just feel like I am different that I don’t look pretty like the other girls.

❄️ How do you prepare for winter? ❄️

It’s getting pretty cold here in the Northern Hemisphere, and Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has already pulled out her long, heavy winter coat and started wearing indoor sweaters while working from home — a few weeks earlier than usual for her. She’s also been drinking a lot of tea to stay warm.

What are some ways you prepare for the winter months or stay warm when the temperatures drop? What are your winter must-haves? 🥶

How does depression affect your sense of self?

I've lived with depression for as long as I can remember, and before my diagnosis, I thought “being sad and isolating myself all the time” was just a quirky character flaw. In reality, it shaped how I saw myself and my sense of belonging in the world and around others. Even though my mindset has grown and I’ve learned to love myself more effectively, I still struggle sometimes with feeling like I belong or like I truly fit into anything. 🤔

What has your experience been like? How does depression affect your sense of self?

On recovery days I like to ______.

When you live with a chronic illness or disability—and experience fatigue, chronic pain, or other physical and mental symptoms—rest and recovery become necessary parts of your daily or weekly routine. Folded the laundry? Take a nap. Went to the grocery store? Stay in for the next two days. Out all week? Spend the whole weekend in bed.

We all approach recovery time differently because we have different bodies and experiences, so we’re curious: What helps you on your recovery days? How do you approach rest? What are your favorite recovery activities? And what are your rest and recovery boundaries?

Stress impacts me the most.

Fear is my main trigger.

Stress and fear affect each other and intensify my anxiety.

What do you find most challenging about advocating for your health needs?

Advocating for each of our unique health circumstances requires us to put ourselves out there, share, and communicate how we’re REALLY doing with those around us. This isn’t always easy, especially in spaces with lackluster medical professionals, toxic employers, or less supportive family and friends.

What do you find most challenging when it comes to advocating for your health?
