Getting ready for #School with #FrozenShoulder or #adhesivecapulitis & #ChronicPain

Always painful trying to shower & get dressed when I can’t reach behind my back. Frozen shoulder doesn’t seem to be a condition people know much about, so I’ll share later!

It’s also #finalsweek for one course and my #Anxiety is kicking. Family visiting, my brain is spinning and the pain makes me want to sleep.... ignoring the well-meaning #Advice about fixing my shoulder, with 2 papers to write ASAP. Just keep moving! Good luck to all in #IllnessAndCollege!

So I’m about to start finals week so I know that I’m gonna get an anxiety attack at some point. So what are some suggestions to stay less stressed? #Anxiety #CollegeMentalHealth #finalsweek

STUDENTS: How do you manage anxiety and stress when it's finals week?

I have my exams for my dual-enrollment (college) classes this week and my anxiety hasn't been this strong in a long time. I can hardly eat, I don't really sleep. I feel so keyed up and panicky and I can't function long enough to study. #help #AnxietyDisorders #Anxiety #Finals #finalsweek

Overwhelming feeling

Does anyone feel like they can’t shake of that clouded feeling from your head using endless amount of self-care techniques? I am tired of feeling like I can’t focus and exhausted all the time. #Depression #anxious #College #University #finalsweek

Exhaustion, finals, and my 2nd therapy appt #CheckInWithMe

I'm tired. Not the kind of tired that gets better from 'a good nights sleep' (what is that anyway?). But also not the kind of tired that comes from severe depression either. My "tired" is a mix of so much. From being in chronic pain with multiple other physical symptoms, to dealing with depression, anxiety, and stresses of life that I can't do anything about, but could greatly affect my life. It's made worse with 15-20 hour work weeks, full-load college classes that all end this week. Oh and I'm in the process of beginning a new anxiety medicine while adjusting to not one, not two, but THREE changes in taking medicines I've been on but still aren't 'quite right'.
But ya know, it doesn't matter if I'm sitting here barely able to keep my eyes open I'm so exhausted, made worse but this super painful headache that's been squeezing my forehead for the last 5 hours. I have So. Much. Work. and one of my classes I could completely fail if I don't get everything turned in by Friday along with doing well on the final exam.
But of course, 'I'm fine'. I had my second and last for the year therapy session today. It went fine. We talked about a whole bunch of nothing. I act so freaking positive whenever anyone asks how I am/what I'm struggling with. I feel like I'm going crazy. It's not like I'm lying when I point out the good in things, or present a situation from a viewpoint that makes it seem like good or bad, I know it is what it is. But... When I'm in my head, when I'm alone in my room, when I let myself feel situations/memories. Everything is so dark, so hard, and so so deeply sad. But at least I'm always smiling... #Depression #Anxiety #Selfharm #Recovery #finalsweek #Stress #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #EhlersDanlosSyndrome
