We Are #MightyTogether

Hi, my name is sleepingpanda. I'm here because I am really struggling with internal feelings. my 17 year old daughter was diagnosed last year formally but we have been battling the system and trying to navigate our way messily since 2021 when things got really bad. some days are good, some are not so good. we’ve known for about 3 years what her challenges were so the formal diagnosis was never a surprise and we have adjusted ourselves to help our home be a safe and understanding place. the reason I am here is I am increasingly feeling burnt out (work full time) and unable to be as compassionate towards her outbursts and demands as I should be. Especially when the nastiness starts and I am almost wishing we could have some time apart and I feel terrible guilt at that. I’ve been trying to hide aaay from those feelings as I am ashamed. I’d hate for her to know how I really feel and feel alone with my thoughts of just wanting to run away

Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’m here because in 2024 I was diagnosed with a giant acoustic neuroma, also called a vestibular schwannoma. After multiple brain surgeries and a long recovery, I’ve been learning how to navigate life with facial paralysis and single sided deafness. I’m hoping to connect with others who understand what it’s like when your health suddenly changes your entire life.

Hi, my name is LGJ_painisntlif3. I'm here because I want to connect with other people, especially young people, suffering and struggling to manage pain the way I am. It's got me all the way back in the bed again, stuck in the house.

Hi, I'm new here! I'm LilacHummingbird07. I joined because I want to learn how to continue with my life and pursue my goals without constantly obsessing over the fear of my loved ones dying out of nowhere. After I got my ADHD diagnosis, I took a year off from school ostensibly to learn about how to manage the way my mind works, but as soon as I returned to get my associate degree, two of my most loved ones became seriously ill back-to-back. I barely got my AA under academic probation and now I'm terrified to go back for my Bachelor's because I can't control everything bad that'll happen and when it will. If anyone has some words of advice for me, I'd very much appreciate it. I'm already 25 and feel incredibly behind seeing what other people my age are doing (even accounting for the early 2020s and COVID mandates). I know ruminating all the time isn't getting me anywhere, but I have no idea what to do about everything I can't fix. Thank you for all the advice that anyone wants to offer, and I genuinely look forward to working with you all. #Anxiety #MightyTogether

Hi, my name is Cranbrook3536. I'm here because my primary diagnosis is Borderline Personality Disorder. Previous diagnosis was Bipolar II. Today, I am struggling with a high level of anxiety. My eating disorder is Anorexia, Restrictive Type. To keep it simple, I have put my family and what few friends I once had through so much that I've now alienated them, burned them out. Also, I am struggling to see a sense of purpose beyond my diagnoses. For seven years, I volunteered at the City Library, but between the pandemic and an injury to my left shoulder, I have become ineligible to return. When I tried to go back to a clothing ministry, I fell in the car park as I was leaving. Also, that brought back bad memories of earlier in life, when the only job I could find was to hang garments in a sheltered workshop, earning 1930s wages.
