I am new here .... Stumbled on by accident ... Glad I did!!

#EUPD #PTSD #Anxiety #Depression #MentalHealth #Fibromyalgia #Hypotension #Low #Blackouts ful and Complicated life .... Left home 14 .... Don't have family, so I created my own .... In my head ... I had everything and out daughter .... BUT then ... I am only just learning still ... Seems you can have repressed memories that you had block ...... I was SO normal and a social butterfly .... Childhood trauma of all kinds .... Now confirmed why EUPD, PTSD, Fibromyalgia .. As well as anxiety and depression ... Annoying but the lates factors of low blood pressure and 3 reasons .... can't leave the house alone ... Black outs .... When all out ... it was the one time I needed my husband in all those years ...So lost my career, car as can't drive with meds, single mum, marriage, I didn't go for the money or the pensions ... Struggling he is married again.. Reflection I can see we were young ... He is happy now ... I pushed him into marriage .... I had a breakdown ... Failed suicide with pills. Kept trying .... People all think I am SO strong ... Luckily able to work from home as a focus ... (I didn't realise was a group or wouldn't have put work name lol) ....Otherwise, I will overthink, overanalyse and overactive imagination ... On social media have to be all positive ... They all think some mental health and Fibro .... Video calls etc .. Always the clown, bubbly, laughter .....But that isn't how it is .... I have pushed everyone away ..... Isolate ...Yet SO alone ... But independent ..Don't want to be a burden on anyone, have no family ... Feel for my daughter ... I am not the mum I was .... But more people now ... avoiding ..... Was getting social ...But not feel I am too much for anyone ... They can't deal with me ... So upsetting ... So sensitive ..Especially when use my issues against me ... All the 'self harms' just to feel something else, be someone else .... Under police safeguarding due to the trauma. I am a workaholic ... That isn't healthy either, my barriers will always be up ......have no family, people 'check' on me ... But I don't want that ... It is what it is ... I know they are just feeling duty of care ...Make sure I am still here ... I don't want that ... The only reason I am still here after last weekend ..... pathetic .... My loyal Tom cat Fudge ... Unconditional love ... Was licking my tears...I am trying to learn all coping strategies ...But if I am so confused ... How can I expect them to understand ..They are getting impatient ..... As the only ones in my life are .... The strong people ... That knew to push back ..... So they are strong people ...But also means .... They say it as it is ... And I am too sensitive ...I feel critism ... They feel they have to tread on egg shells ..... All I have ever wanted ... I guess that is everyone ... To love and be loved ... So as tried soo hard ....Now back to existing only and not living? For their own good ....I don't come across well, I can be massively misunderstood. Been single 7 years ... Not snow white ... Those people .... I ensured couldn't hurt me or abandon me or reject ..... Shallow and pathetic but blue tick individuals ... A lot younger ... For entertainment .... Just know when I go down again .... I don't think I have the fight in me anymore .... People say get up .....But there is only so many times and can't see hope ... I am too tired .....

Feeling like the need to vent , I feel the system is still corrupt in regards to myself finically and my situation
11 years I’ve been chronically ill and still fighting for the disability payment they pay job seeker it doesn’t fit

I’m single come on ?

and I’m now 30 I’m tired I don’t want to fight forever to have an existence that is not withering in pain.

It’s my choice to stay and want to make the best of it however it is hard and I’m bloody tired of it.

My doctors are happy, their proud.
Tho I’m sad as I feel what else have to happen before I’m not seen as an obect - disposable

They don’t want to pay (disability ) they’ve made that clear. tho everybody agrees I’m ‘disabled enough’ to receive it.... go figure

I know I’m not alone - just in case anyone has felt all to overwhelmed atm I hear you x

Here’s to better days and being united through our struggles no matter how hard Katie x

#ChronicIllness well it’s bloody HARD that’s the honest truth I don’t know what to say I can’t be a untruthful and sugar coat it it is what it is. Trust; I don’t like it so however someone may look sympathic - PLEASE stop & think and remember empathy is all; it’s ok I’ve accepted it now can it be on it’s really in your court . I do need sympathy however empathy.

The world needs EMPATHY
I’m greatful for so much the ability to still walk a huge gift I know i should not be so quick to forget

Pyshical pain - not for the faint hearted

How do you respond to “How are you?”

How do you guys respond to this question? I feel like if I say that I am okay people would be less understanding/ more confused as to why I am moving slower or needing to sit. However, if I say how I am actually feeling I am being a downer or making the conversation all about me. So, how do you answer “How are you?”.

Have you ever been told extremely low blood pressures can mimic seizures? #SeizureDisorder #Epilepsy #Hypotension

Recently a cardiologist and a neurologist explained to me that extremely low blood pressures can mimic seizures.

Low blood pressure can bring on:
-Jerking movements on one side or both of body
-Wetting pants
-Bowel movement
-Vomiting

Women especially are being misdiagnosed with seizures when they actually have low blood pressure.

I am curious to know if anyone else has ever been told this?
