I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Gabs1097. I'm here because my 18-year-old daughter was diagnosed w/ juvenile fibromyalgia at age 17, but now that same doctor thinks she likely has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, based on her score on the Beighton test. However, we don't have an official diagnosis. My daughter also has OCD, ADHD, anxiety, depression and level 1 autism. She currently suffers most from crushing fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues and depression. She's on Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Concerta, and Latuda, but honestly, her meds to not seem to help. I'd like to get an official diagnosis for her so I can better help her, pursue accommodations for her in college and just be a better mom and advocate. #MightyTogether #Depression #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #Autism #AutismSpectrumDisorder #Neurodiversity #ADHDInGirls #AspergersSyndrome

Hi, my name is Ameerah, I'm a maternal wellness practitioner, birth worker, postpartum coach, and writer focusing on neurodivergence, motherhood, and emotional regulation. My work supports parents, especially those with ADHD, who are learning how to set boundaries, manage internal overwhelm, and reframe motherhood without self erasure. I'm here because I'm passionate in connecting, creating community, and awareness around these topics that minimize shame and dismantle fixed point of views. Creating safe spaces that curate conversations that empower our community to stand in our differences with curiosity and an inner knowing that different does not mean broken.

#Burnout is very real and I'm feeling it. I don't know how to properly ask for support because I'm usually very good at holding it together (masking as a woman with #Autism ), but I'm losing my grip a bit. #Caregiving is hard work, it's physically and emotionally demanding, and I'm so wore out that I'm now sick. This month alone I've experienced 2 deaths, one of which was a suicide, and being a support for others has not left much room for me to process everything that has happened. I have no sick time or vacation days, so I'm pretty much stuck right now. Considering therapy again before I fully collapse under the pressure. I don't want to burden anyone, I just needed a place to let this exist outside of myself for a moment. If you read this, thank you.
I hope you're doing ok out there.
