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

Need some advice

I absolutely CANNOT concentrate on something when other stuff is going on. Including someone talking to me when the TV is on.

Tonight my husband said either he needs to have my hearing tested or turn the TV off. So I said, ‘Turn the TV off.’ He was like, ‘I don’t think so’. Then I told him AGAIN that my hearing isnt the problem. He says, ‘Either it is your hearing or you just ignore me all the time.’ What the Hell?!? I have tried to get him to understand AuDHD but he refuses. He won’t read about it or anything.

Just so you all know my husband isnt always like this. Usually we get along great. We have known each other for 35 years and been married for two. He is a great man just stubborn as hell and refuses to learn. I do love him with all of my heart. That is why I am posting this.

We are going to be together forever so does anyone have any advice?

What is this?

The short summary is, January 19th I got choked on food and I ended up getting dysphagia from it and couldn’t swallow anything for weeks. I ate pudding and apple sauce, eventually I ended up passing out February 2nd, my first time ever passing out. They said it was just panic attacks and syncope and not a issue, so they sent me home but my blood pressure was terrible my boyfriend was leaving to go to bootcamp too so that was stress added onto it. February 20th around that I had a doctor appointment with a gynecologist and she told me my iron was low and my b12 was high which made no sense cause I wasn’t eating but 100-200 calories a day if that. But I eventually was able to eat, and slowly felt kind of better but not fully. I had issues of being fatigued, and tired even though I got 8 hours of sleep. It’s tmi but my last cycle was watery and light and wasn’t normal compared to how they usually are. I felt terrible on it, short of breath, weak, fatigued, blurry vision, it was bad. However I’ve had issues when I’m eating, everything will start going black and I struggle to breathe and it feels like my heart stops for a second, then it starts racing and I panic, which makes it worse, I feel like I’m going to pass out during that, my head feels weird too. That’s what happened again earlier today, but yesterday at work I was standing there ringing up a customer and everything started going black and I almost passed out then too. I’m just scared. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. I was told I have insulin resistance PCOS and may be iron deficient from my doctor and maybe anemic, I’m waiting on blood results to come back but is this a blood sugar issue or is it something else. Please help.#Anemia #anemic #iron #IronDeficiency #insulin #PCOS #irondeficient #help #question

Long Day

Today was hard. Very fatigued. Just mentally drained. So glad I have a four-day weekend and I get to see my grandson this weekend. He’s six so he is quite a lot to deal with, but he always cheers me up. #MentalHealth #ChronicFatigue #Depression #Anxiety #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #Sarcoidosis #Migraine

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!

When do you stop looking?

I've been chronically ill most of my life. And I've tried A LOT of different things to help or find answers.

But I'm tired.

Worn out.

Exhausted.

Grieved.

I wonder if it's time to stop working so hard to eke out a possibility of feeling better, and just let things be as they are. Live as I am, and let it be enough.

But I'm scared that that's giving up.

Or...is it giving in? Surrendering my denial that this is how it is?

I'd love to know what my Mighty family thinks of this.
