I thought I was better....

I changed meds last fall and was feeling so much better. Back to working and keeping house. The holidays and a 2nd job were hard but .... then had disagreement with husband that put me back in the old pit of depression. 2 days ago. Just coming out. SO DISAPPOINTED. Facing the reality this is a lifelong disease and I have to work on it regularly. Ugh. 😪 I feel very alone and would really like some friends here.

Also I had beat a xanax addiction but I'm back on it now. Frustrating!!

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Chickthatgotsick3. I'm here because I live with chemical sensitivities, CFS, migraine and mental illness symptoms that accompany. Ive been 18 years disabled and working daily to get well. Some days I think I'm as good as I'm going to get and that still won't allow me to walk into the grocery store w/o reacting. I feel isolated and lonely. Other than my husband, who is a prince, my family just doesn't get it. Their actions or lack thereof indicate they either don't believe me or they don't care. I came across the Mighty while looking for an article to send my Mom after she told me to think my way out of getting sick from fragrances. Found the perfect one,"Don't say it's all in your head to a person with illness". I'm very grateful to the author and to have found this space! Thank you!

I’m new here!

Hi, I’m here because I’ve been struggling after losing my dad. It feels like I’ve lost myself too. Even when I’m surrounded by people, I feel a deep loneliness, like I’m drowning while everyone else watches from the shore. I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking for here, but I think it’s someone who truly understands this kind of pain—someone who can help me make sense of what I’m feeling. If you can relate, I’d love to hear from you.

I'm lonely

Pauley is asleep. I want to cuddle. I took a shower this morning and I feel yucky now.

I've got a big boo-boo on my bustline. I thought it was a pimple or an abscess so I tried to pop it with a needle. Only blood came out.

I had a video call with my caseworker and then I had a video chat with my psychiatrist. I needed to talk to my psychiatrist for refills.

I've got my next appointment for my invega injection this Thursday. Then I have an appointment to discuss my X-ray results on Friday.

My back really hurts. I'm out of tramadol in my room box which means I need a refill from pauley. Maybe I should go climb on her and lick her face. She needs to wake up.

The weight of unspoken words! #Relationships #Anxiety #Loneliness #InsideTheMighty

"Don't say you love me if your actions hurt me daily. If my pain doesn't affect you, it's clear there's no emotional connection between us.

I'm not asking for your help or support to fix my problems. But the least you can do is acknowledge my struggles. Simply being present and saying, 'I'm here for you,' means a lot.

No lectures, no advice, no promises to figure things out together. Just let me know you care. Say, 'I'm here, and I'll hold you when you need it.'

When you turn around, you'll always see me, maybe from afar, but I'll be there. That's what love means to me."

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Alea28. I'm here because I’m feeling a bit lonely at the moment ^^'. I’ve had a motor disability since birth, but I love life. I enjoy horseback riding, reading, writing my own stories too, traveling, playing video games, and spending time with my pets. Lately, though, I feel like life hasn’t been very kind to me ^^' and im a bit lost. I’m looking to chat about geek stuff, animals, disability—basically, to find support and meet people who understand what it’s like to be different.
I’m from France, but I can deal with English as long as you're not too picky about the mistakes ^^'. Actually that an another reason to explain why im here I’m here: I’ve noticed that my fellow countrymen can sometimes be closed-minded about disability. Maybe I idealize foreigners too much, but when I visited London and the USA, I felt much more accepted than at home. I’m hoping to find people here who share values of kindness, tolerance, and acceptance!
Come chat with me—I don’t bite, but I’m a bit shy!"**
