I'm new here!

Hi, my name is WhatisHome44. I'm here because I feel like my life is over due to my chronic illness, my childhood/current trauma, and my deteriorating body. Because of this, everything I’ve spent my life working toward has fallen apart. And I have no way to make it any better. I’m 34. I’m losing weight astronomically fast. I have an illness that is exacerbated by stress, and there are people in my life who go out of their way to cause me stress. I don’t have a family physician. I’ve been bounced around from nurse practitioner to nurse practitioner, and am in a horrible situation at a private clinic. I’m losing all of my savings and these private clinics are cleaning me out. I didn’t have much to begin with. I cannot afford food. My wife works every single day and I work 5 days out of the week from home. I’m a musician/composer/audio engineer, but I’ve been struggling to hold my instruments. I’m losing mobility in my arms and legs. My brain is not functioning correctly, and I haven’t slept longer than 4-5 hours in over a year. I’m so tired. It’s so hard to work and even harder to function. I have no pain control. And I’m eligible for M.A.I.D in my country. I am trying to hold on. But am ready to exit. This was quite long but barely scratched the surface. I apologize for the heavy subject matter.

Feels unreal #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #ChronicFatigue #PTSD #ChronicIllness

Anyone else having trouble keeping a clean and orderly environment? I am single . No outside help. I’ve fallen multiple times in 2025, the worst hitting my eye on the corner of the coffee table. I’m frozen . Pain is overwhelming.

Any tricks you’ve used to help organize and clean . Help please . I can not live like this .

Déjà View - Gravity is just a suggestion

I love that I’ve built a space where everyone has the freedom to slow down and unwind. Life is hard on all of us.

Born Tired: Chronic(als oF)atigue

A common joke I have with my mom is, when I tell her that I'm tired, she answers with "Yeah, you were born tired"

Tiredness because of the weather. #Depression #Anxiety #ChronicFatigue

You know the feeling when your body is too tired to take a shower even though you want to? 😒 That's me for the last couple of days. The reason is THE WEATHER HERE IN ICELAND FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS OR SO! During this time I have had about 2-3 nights of good sleep. Low-pressure has been ruling the weather during this time 😔, I rather have the cold for some days than this strong winds. I know, living in Iceland you just have too go with flow in a way. 😉🙋‍♀️😏

SubQ infusion progress

I’ve been doing really well getting my infusions at home subcutaneously in my belly fat weekly. I’m still having issues with ovarian cysts & had another one rupture recently. An ultrasound at the E.R. revealed that it’s now gone. Just dealing with the fluid that gets trapped so, I’ve just finished a 2wks. course of antibiotics & high dosage of corticosteroids. I’ve got a couple of 4mg. Hydromorphone pills while I’m pms’ing if needed for pain from my pain management doctor. Otherwise, I’m just on Tylenol with Codeine every 4hrs. for my chronic widespread pain. I had a failed Laparoscopy surgery I wasn’t able to get accomplished due to failure to be intubated because of my arthritis. Oh well, I just can’t have much sexual pleasure in life anymore. It’s not any fun but, I’ll survive. #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #ChronicFatigue #CommonVariableImmuneDeficiency #Spoonie #Endometriosis #MentalHealth #PTSD #RareDisease #MightyTogether
