I need you to tell me it will be okay. #CheckInWithMe

I'm going on my 5th day of mania and my 3rd day of a crash. I'm exhausted. And I'm frustrated that there isn't a good treatment. Part of my mind is racing, keeping me awake, while the other part is so worn out from fatigue and PEM. I'm angry at my parents for reproducing together when each of them has a handful of genetic disorders on their own. I got them all and I can't keep up. My body is restless but I don't have the energy to actually do anything productive, just squirm around in bed wishing I could be doing more. I wish I had the skills to make and keep friends so I would have someone to talk to when I feel like this. It feels like it will never end! I just want my life back. I want to be a productive member of society. I want to be out of this effing bed!

What do you do?

What do you do when you tell all family members and reach out to get help for mental health problems and they tell you to have you tried not being sad. I even had my mom knowing I'm using a cane, and on bed rest 90% of the time tell me, well you should just clean and do more housework.... As I'm uncontrollably sobbing. I'm just lost in life. I feel like all my hopes and dreams what I loved to do and what I've wanted to do is all gone. I can't even shower because it hurts the pressure to hit my skin. Heading to homeless in.. 12 days. I have still tried to get help. And idk what to do. I honestly just want to lay in a ditch and just give up. #ChronicFatigue #MentalHealth #Anxiety #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #CheckInWithMe #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #IfYouFeelHopeless

Grateful

I just want to take time to say how thankful I am to make it to 37 weeks pregnant! Due to having EDS, I was expecting to have a preterm baby(as I have in the past) but my little girl has made it to “term” and looks like she might make it to full term! I can't wait till she is here and in my arms.

In terms of my chronic illness its been a rough ride (though a textbook healthy pregnancy ) but its almost over and the joy of being a mamma again is about to begin. Thankful to God and all my loves ones who have supported me through it all!!!

Crash & go

I'm experiencing a big mania but at the same time, I'm crashing with me/cfs. It feels like when you stay up for 36 hours straight and you're bone tired but you're on your 6th cup of coffee in the past 2 hours. No matter how I try, I am simply not able to rest. When I lay down, my mind and body are restless. When I get up to act on those impulses, my body screams in pain and exhaustion. I know I need to rest, but I'm just not sure how to do it right now.

Any suggestions from those who deal with one or both issues?

Mid week Reminder

This is a fantastic reminder that even if we ignore our emotions, they will show up in other ways.
