Always regret telling my coworkers about my chronic illness

Prime example this week. I called in sick on monday because I was awake for 34ish hours (due to insomnia). Not sleeping also triggers my other conditions like migraines and RA flare ups.
Anyway, this is a prime example of why I always regret telling my coworkers (or anyone) about my insomnia at work. Its so damn frustraing to get responses like these from people when the know i have chronic illnesses

Me: sorry i didnt come in. I was awake for about 34 hours and didnt think it was safe to work.
Coworker: have you tried warm milk with garlic? Works for me every time.
Coworker 2: Lush has this lotion that helps me sleep. It smells so good

NO KAREN. IVE HAD INSOMNIA MY WHOLE LIFE AND NEVER THOUGHT TO TRY WARM MILK BEFORE. AND I CANT TRY THAT LOTION BECAUSE SCENTS TRIGGER MY MIGRAINES BUT COOL, THANKS FOR YOUR MAGICAL MILK AND LOTION CURES THAT'LL CHANGE MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY FOR SURE

Few Day’s Feelings

I wish I could put into words how I feel about my current situation. Mentally, I’ve been doing pretty good outside of my external situations. One the one hand I feel like I’m on the outside looking in most times. Sometimes I wish I could disappear and be anonymous, nameless, and faceless. I kind of regret letting people in. I’m at the point where I want to push everyone away. I no longer expect much from people because I feel like I’ve been denied so much. Allowing myself to become hardened always seems to be at the forefront whenever I feel like I’ve had enough of it all. What good is softness when it gets taken advantage of? Sometimes I want to scream out, “I DON’T NEED YOU!” Other times, I want to ignore and become heartless, even if it feels wrong. I’m forever down the middle. I’m very forgiving when I shouldn’t be, I say yes when I really should say no. I feel that I have to totally destroy myself over and over again every time I feel like I’m giving too much and not getting back. I feel like I have to conceal my feelings and tell myself that I no longer have a heart. That I just have a black, empty space in my chest and that nothing else matters, not even the people who once did. That’s why I feel like it’s better for me to continue life on my own because I trust very few, and I feel like I’ll never be taken seriously as a person. The only other thing that has been consistent in my life is the feeling of emptiness. Along with my many insecurities. #MentalHealth #Thoughts #CheckInWithMe #anger #frustrations #Emotions #insecurities #feelings #FeelingEmpty #Emptiness

frustration with hearing loss #HearingLoss #frustrations

today it hit me again. .... I am so SICK of pretending to hear someone and saying the word what! I had to do it both with my mom and with my one housemate and staff. I'm just getting tired of it. I dunno why, but my hearing seems to worsen in winter....at least temporarily. I don't want to go back to audiology/ent until my yearly appt in Sept. i just want to try to adapt. I'm even trying to get a meditation CD so i can turn it up louder as my phone volume is starting to not be enough. yet in my trying to adapt, I'm getting more and more frustrated since it doesn't seem to be happening as fast as I'd like or the hearing keeps getting worse or both. I can't afford hearing aids and because of that am waiting until the docs insist (I have mild/moderate hearing loss)...heck, I could barely afford my glasses! ah well....ty for reading my vent....I just had to get it out to a community that understands. #HardOfHearing #Vent #adapting

Meds is sets

That moment you look at your boxes of pills and realize you drink more pills than the 80 year old lady dlwn the street. #reallydepressing #Depression #frustrations #sad I wish I could just stop of all my medications. People who don't have to drink everyday are so lucky.

I'm pissed! Weight gain! #Bipolar #psychitrist

I just did a little research and discovered that the psychiatrist I recently left had me on the antipsychotic that causes the MOST weight gain, even though under her care I put on 60 lbs and continued to have mood episodes! My new doctor immediately took me off of this and put me on one that causes the least amount of weight gain. Also found out I was being overdosed on my mood stabilizer! Here I had a lot of trust in my doctor and she was really messing me up! #beinformed #Bipolar1Disorder #MentalHealth #HealthcareProviders #weightgain #frustrations

‘Tis the season

somehow I’ve let myself get sick. I’ve had a raging respiratory infection for 10+ days now. I’m on a second antibiotic now since the first didn’t axe it. I’m still struggling to breathe and having massive pain on the left side of my face. just crazy. I’m so annoyed. after starting ivig treatments I’ve been doing so well and this just feels like a huge step back. So much sinus pressure, blood and coughing.
just complaining! yay flu season!

hi everyone. my name is Kati and I am 21 year old single momma of my 3 year old little boy.

I got diagnosed with BPD back is 2017, right in the middle of an abusive relationship and I didn't have the mental capacity to really process it. I broke up with the POS back in January of this year. I got involved with a customer of mine that I've known since I started working at my current job last year. we've been together since March. it's been 7.5 months. there are days where I can't believe I finally have someone that truly loves me for me, symptoms and all. he accepts me for me and accepts my son. hands down the best relationship I've ever been in. he never fails to make me smile, always reminds me how much he loves me and why, and so on and so forth.

here's the thing, I have a really really BAD habit of projecting my feelings (mainly anger and frustration) out onto my boyfriend, even if it has nothing to do with him. it's really starting to affect the relationship. it gets really bad. I have a tendency to kind of disconnect myself emotionally and mentally, and just say whatever comes to my mind in the exact way it came to me. not paying attention to how it would make my boyfriend, or the other people around me feel. and I can be pretty brutal and horrible. I hate how it makes him feel. how it makes his daughter and my son feel. and how it makes me feel afterwards. I don't normally realize how I've made people feel until after everything's all said and done, when it's too late.

I've come to 2 conclusions. 1) I'm subconsciously pushing him away sabotaging the relationship because I'm so NOT used to being treated like this, since ever guy I've ever been with has turned out to be abusive is some way shape or form. 2) I'm subconsciously treating him the way I've been treated in my life by guys to, I don't know, get back at them?

I really love this man and I dont want to keep treating him like this. he doesn't deserve it. not at all.

any advice would be helpful.

much love to all.
