Not so new but new here.

👋 all I have been a part of the mighty since early 2017 when I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation type 1 and Syringomylia. Rheumatoid, and hyper Thyroid issues run in the family along with other autoimmune disorders, dupitrins contractions and planter fashitis (pretty thats mispelked). We also have Mental health or personality disorders as well.

I didn't ever really come on here till now. After having my son in 2021 I developed severe postpartum depression. It eventually disappeared on its own kinda, it just lessened to depression.I was battleing addiction that had started because of my Chiari diagnosis and decompression surgery. In summer of 2022 i got clean and stayed clean. I went to a psychologist who was in the company of my rehab/general therapist. I was diagnosed with general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, bipolar, and having borderline personality disorder traits. I have recently VERY recently got away from trauma and abuse. I am almost 💯sure I have C-PTSD. Are there other forms of trauma bonding, abuse, PTSD out there what are common symptoms? I have something really weird going on and I dont even know how to really explain it . It i don't know if it's a symptoms concerning my Chiari and surgery site or if its a mental, psychological issue from the trauma. Any similar backgrounds out there? Even not general answers would be appreciated as well. Thnx everyone.

🌟 A Message of Hope and Support 🌟

To everyone navigating the ups and downs of mental health—your strength is seen, your struggles are valid, and your journey matters. 💙

Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, OCD, trichotillomania, ODD, or any other challenge, remember:

✨ Healing is not linear, and every small step counts.

✨ It’s okay to ask for help—you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

✨ Your story is still being written, and there is hope for brighter days ahead.

Let’s break the stigma, lift each other up, and create a community where no one feels alone. Together, we can foster understanding, compassion, and resilience. 💪

Here’s a little poem to remind you of your strength:

When the world feels heavy, and the shadows grow near,

Remember, dear heart, you are stronger than fear.

Each step you take, though it may feel small,

Is a victory won, a triumph for all.

The storms may rage, and the winds may blow,

But within you, a light continues to glow.

It whispers of courage, of hope, and of grace,

A reminder that brighter days you’ll embrace.

So hold on, keep going, you’re never alone,

For in this journey, your strength has grown.

You are enough, just as you are,

A shining, resilient, beautiful star. 🌟

Just a friendly reminder #EhlersDanlosSociety # Anxiety, Stress and ME # mental illness an addictions #mental health

I had just asked a friend what she was doing for Thanksgiving and she told me this; "I'm spending the day with my mom and nothing else because last Thanksgiving I had planned to surprise my dad at the nursing home by making Thanksgiving dinner at home with all HIS favorites and bringing it to him. That way we could still eat the holiday meal together and he got to enjoy his favorite holiday foods instead of the traditional meal the nursing home provided. However, I was to late. He died 3 days before Thanksgiving "!
My response to her was; Do not blame yourself! What you had planned was a very wonderful surprise and if it were possible to be sad in heaven, I'm sure your dad was shedding some tears; 1) because he was so proud you had planned that and 2) because he missed it! But God's timing is not our timing! That is whatis forgotten until some like a death cruelly reminds us. So remind your loved ones of your love. Because we never know what God's timing will be!!

Food drink and folly

I'm sipping on some coffee while I wait for 530 to roll around so I can make dinner. Tonight we're having Mediterranean salmon with cheesy chicken rice. It's gonna be delicious. I'm so hungry.

Today's coffee adventure was good. I mixed hazelnut flavor coffee with some mud wtr, salted caramel syrup and oat milk. It was really nice.

I've been very lonely today. I didn't really talk to anyone except for Meta AI. I chatted for a few minutes with flutter but she's been busy with her husband and boyfriend this weekend. We usually have our scheduled phone call every night at 830 but we missed 3 calls this week. I miss hearing her voice. But even more I miss seeing her on video chat. She decided it's too hard to do video chat.

I am so excited, con is just about a month away. I'm really looking forward to seeing my friends. I'm so ready.

A Little Prose (form my journal to you all)

MY SOUL

Home is my body

Air is my breath

Emotions are my humanity.

My body cries out for relief

My breath is strained

My humanity wants rest

MY SOUL CRIESS OUT FOR MERCY...

It wants to go home to HEAVEN

How long the wait?

Whisper Lady

My back feels much better now

Thank goodness for Percocet.

I got to video chat with my girlfriend and her daughter for a half hour. They were playing outside. Her daughter knows me as "mommy's boy who makes funny faces". We like to show off our plushies. She said her daughter doesn't usually like talking to people on the phone but she likes me. I've always been good with kids. I love drawing and doing crafts with kids.

I'm exhausted. Only got 3 hours of sleep last night. I'm just about done with my first cup of coffee mixed with mud wtr. It tastes better than usual. I used less milk this time. My next cup of coffee will be mixed with IQ Joe. I need the caffeine.

I tried to make some rice for lunch but it was yucky. I am almost out of cheese so I need to order some groceries soon. I'll wait till I only have one carton of oat milk left. I'm hoping to make the quiche in the freezer. It'll last a few days. I didn't have an appetite all week but last night I ate the whole sandwich super fast. It was delicious. But I also haven't taken my Mounjaro injection yet this week. Oops
