Today was hard. Very fatigued. Just mentally drained. So glad I have a four-day weekend and I get to see my grandson this weekend. He’s six so he is quite a lot to deal with, but he always cheers me up. #MentalHealth #ChronicFatigue #Depression #Anxiety #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #Sarcoidosis #Migraine

I wish I felt better. I wish I was in a better mood. It’s just so hard when you hurt everyday. It use to be that I had several days off a month of no pain. Now it’s constant and I’m getting worn out. I know I’ve been doing too much, I work full-time, I go to school full-time, and I’ve been trying to finalize my parents estate because they recently passed away.
My go to self help were my guitars, but I’m finding it more and more difficult to play. My mental state sucks, bad. I just made an appointment with a mental health clinic through my insurance. I feel like the coping mechanisms I had don’t work.
I hate going to work because one of the best things that make me feel good is my dog and I can’t take him in.
I’m tired……. Anyone else? #tired #hurt #wannagiveup #RheumatoidArthritis #depressed #Needabreak #lookingforhelp #Community #ChronicPain #Anxiety #ChronicFatigue

I start a new job today. I haven’t had any luck whatsoever in my career the last several years because of my mental health. But I’m on my healing path and thriving so this position is extremely important to me. The other day my husband went out for a bit and when he got back he handed me a pretty, purple (my favorite color) zip-up binder. I was so happy! He told me to open it and what I found inside, friends, simply left me speechless and crying. He had filled the binder with a bag of my favorite snack, pens, pencils, a calculator, a heart shaped pencil sharpener, and sticky notes. You know, the basics. Then I went on to find a succulent magnet (because succulents are my favorite), cough drops (because I have asthma), tampons (because I’m a girl), and even a hair tie (because I have super long hair). This guy never ceases to amaze me with his thoughtfulness. He is otherworldly, I tell ya! Next, I’ll tell you about the ceramic turtle and turbo. #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #ChronicFatigue #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Anxiety

This week in therapy, my trauma therapist reminded me of this simple & easy grounding technique. To be honest, I've always blown it off and didn't believe it would actually help. I was wrong!
The power behind this model is that by focusing on your sensations, your brain and nervous system will be able to stay grounded while the intense emotions move through you.
She encouraged me to try to do it twice a day. Who wants to try it with me?

Hi, my name is TheDon54. I'm here because I’m trying to get off physical addiction to prescription narcotic pain killers due to diagnosed Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, several problems that run the length of my spine resulting in (3) disc surgeries including (1) rupture, an implanted neural stimulator to treat Ankylosing Spondylitis, (3) or (4) attempts to implant neural stimulators to relieve chronic pain in my SI joint/lower back, Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, a leg muscle disease that will eventually render my legs useless, and severe Sleep Apnea for which I’m waiting on having a device implanted in my chest somewhere.

Hi! I am diagnosed with ME/CFS and my connective tissue kinda sucks (I could probably get diagnosed with HSD if not heds, but I haven’t pursued that atp)
I was lying flat on the floor the other day (as one does) and noticed my entire ribcage is crooked, as in the left side sticks out noticeably more. So then I started researching and it said it could be an indicator of scoliosis. So I did some wacky maneuvering to try to get my spine on camera to look at, and it looks a bit curved to the left in the upper part of my back in the picture. But maybe that’s the lighting?
I plan on probably making a doctors appointment regardless, but would love to hear what other people think who know more about this than I would lol
