I'm new here!
Hi, my name is GwynStone. I'm here because I have multiple chronic illnesses including FND, COPD, Fibro, Arthritis and Diabetes. I'm looking for tips, tricks, and support in dealing with living with multiple chronic illnesses.
You wouldn’t play in the championship without training… so why do we wait for a mental health crisis to start practicing?
Here’s the truth most people miss:
Mental strength isn’t built in the breakdown—
🧠 It’s built in the daily habits.
In the quiet moments.
When no one is watching.
The greats don’t wing it. They train.
And if you want to stay calm when life hits hard—you’ve got to do the same.
💬 What’s one mental health exercise you try to practice daily? Let’s share tools 👇

Letting go isn’t giving up—it’s setting yourself free. You can care deeply and still choose peace over control. Ask yourself: Am I exhausting myself trying to get someone to care the way I do? Then try this: take a deep breath and shift your focus inward. Reclaim that energy for your own healing and joy. You’re not responsible for someone else’s growth, only your own. Love without attachment is the kind that doesn’t break you.
Have you ever felt lighter after letting go? Share your story or a ❤️ if this speaks to you.

Waiting for purpose to magically appear can keep you stuck. Instead, ask yourself: What tiny action today can bring me closer to the person I want to become? Whether it's helping someone, creating something, or simply showing up with intention, each choice is a brushstroke on the canvas of your life. You don’t need all the answers, just the courage to begin shaping meaning through your actions, values, and love.
What gives your life meaning lately? Share one thing that lights you up. Let’s inspire each other.

I weighed close to 200 # s w the medicine I was on for over 15 years- i think the reason for the diabetes.
The back of my head is still completely numb. I wonder how long it will last. My eyes are very sore from the vision problems I have. My back is very ouchy. My hips are stiff and sore. Pauley just gave me a Norco.
I'm starting to think maybe Saturday isn't Free comic book day. None of my local shops have posted about it. I'm very disappointed. I was excited to introduce my darling stupidhead Pauley to the shop. It's lots of fun.
I just remembered steroids increase BG temporarily. Usually for about a day at most. That explains why my BG went to insane levels.

My sciatica is flaring up. Both sides. But my left side is the worst. It's all the way to my toes. I only took one Norco today. I just asked for another one. It's not ideal but I never asked to be disabled, I didn't go out of my way to get hurt. So I need tools to get through life. And that's not shameful or embarrassing. I'm not addicted to my meds. I just happen to enjoy pain (free? Hahaha) minimal moments.#sciatica We might go to the dispensary tomorrow afternoon. They have a THC/CBD topical cream for $60. I just got paid yesterday. My pain level has been way too high lately. I know I need surgery but I can't get ahold of my surgeon and I gotta find ways to be functional.#ChronicPain I wish I was cute.
I just realized my right foot felt funny, kinda numb and stiff. It's over 3x it's normal size. I got the compression socks yesterday but I didn't wear them yet. I gotta make an appointment with my vascular doctor.#Lymphedema I've been so thirsty all day. I drank 116oz of coffee and over 200oz of sugar free juice. But I'm really dehydrated. My mouth is really dry and my eyes burn.#Diabetes One symptom of exotropia that I've had for a long time is closing one eye most of the time. Light bothers my eyes so I always close my right eye. But that's where the problem was first discovered.
I wish for all my desires to always come true right away instantly.
I would be happy for the rest of my life if this wish comes true for me. If you all know it will be granted for me comment saying that my wish will come true. My desires are personal but it is nothing that is bad. I really hope that my wish comes true soon. I hope everyone’s wishes on here come true too. I wish you all the very best.
