I am so frustrated and stressed

Years ago my dad took me to a dietitian and they put me on this weight loss pill called Adipex and it damaged my whole face with deep acne scars even worse when I stopped taking the pill a few years later I gained back more weight than i was before. My highest weight has been 190 pounds. My dad is really bothering me about my weight. I am on Mounjaro right now. I do want to lose all the weight permanently but my face is damaged and I have been to more than one different dermatologist. It looks like there are holes diged into my face. He wanted to put me back on the same weight loss pill that damaged my skin and I had to fight him. It is so annoying because he thinks he knows everything that is why I don’t always listen to him or my mom because I feel like they don’t always have knowledge about stuff even though my dad is well educated; my mom doesn’t have the most education and worked in retail her whole life. I am not even the prettiest girl even when I was 90 pounds; I didn’t like the way I looked. All the really good looking attractive guys always turned me down and never really payed interest me. I have been called ugly so many times.

Feeling Like A Burden?🥹 You’re Not!❤️‍🩹

As a person living with chronic illness, sometimes I need special assistance, attention, and support. However, I never want to inconvenience anyone, especially those who love me, so I try to push down the feelings of being a burden.

But when I think about it from an objective perspective, we all need help and support from time to time, regardless of our health conditions! And I shouldn’t be so hard on myself or judge myself for something that I can’t help or didn’t ask for.

We are all human, so let’s help others when we can and receive that same support when we need it!
Love and hugs, Wendy🌻❤️

I Choose To Be In A Good Mood Today Despite…..🌻

Hello, Loves!🥰 Lately, I’ve been experiencing more pain than usual. So it’s definitely concerning and distracting.😕 But I’m still making it a great day! Going outside to get some sun and to check on my plants, starting a new book, Forbidden Love, a TRUE story about an illicit affair between a priest and a nun, eating a mushroom pizza with truffle sauce, salad, sugar cookies, and kombucha for dinner, and maybe even editing a video for my YouTube Channel! ❤️SUBSCRIBE to my channel HERE! 👉🏾https://youtube.com/@lifewithspiritover50?si=pZagLuuBtKP0-7v7

Now please don’t get me wrong! I am not minimizing my body’s experience with ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, and I’ve even stayed in the bed for two days already this week because I’ve been so unwell. I just choose to insert some enjoyable elements to distract myself from discomfort and to add to my life’s enjoyment.

What do you do to make it a ☀️better day for yourself, regardless of your physical or mental challenges?🤗 Drop your comments below! Wendy 🫶🏾🌻🫶🏾#MentalHealth #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #MultipleChemicalSensitivity #Fibromyalgia #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis

Decent day

Today was a decent day especially after yesterday. Yesterday I got in a huge argument with hubby and my daughter got mad at me for laying some truth in her that she very much needed.
Today I have been just trying to take care of me the best way I know how because tomorrow it is back to work.
I have been short of breath all day, a mix between allergies and my normal breathing issues. But, it is getting better.
I have stopped eating sugar flour and wheat to try and improve my health and I can feel a difference. Now I just have to figure out a way to get in some exercise. #Migraine #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Sarcoidosis #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ADHD #Depression #Anxiety

Dating is hard, dating with chronic illnesses is even harder

I was told I suck, I’m lazy, and oh yea the gluten free food I can eat is terrible. You might be asking, “Why would someone say this?”. Because I had to cancel dinner plans due to a flareup. I guess I need to date a few frogs before I meet Prince Charming but man, can the next frog be a little nicer?

I tend to open up about my health early because I’m always nervous I will have a flareup, I’ll need to cancel, and they won’t understand. Welp even if you tell someone, they still might not listen/understand and resort to calling you names.

Anyone have similar experiences? I feel like I need to write a book at this point, “Dating stories: Chronic Illness Edition”.

Newbie here!

Hello! I am Novastarr 😊. I found this app after reading a post about loneliness in an MS Society email. I have been pretty down and out lately, wanting to do nothing but play games on my iPad. I go days at a time without checking my email or doing anything slightly resembling productivity. I’m glad I got motivated today and found this group to give me somewhere to express myself to people who understand it all!

Procrastinating what I love

Somebody tell me how I can go to the library and get myself a book that I know I will enjoy and I love to read, but I am sitting here with this book in my lap, and I can’t make myself read. I procrastinate even the things that I love doing. I’m procrastinating right now by being on my phone and leaving this post🤦‍♀️. It doesn’t make any sense to me. Love going to the library. I know I will love the books that I got. I love to read. Once I make myself start reading, I won’t be able to stop myself. So why is it so hard to make myself start? Makes no sense!
