Hi, my name is Coty. I'm here because I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder after years of trial and error with anxiety / depression meds. I also have sever PCOS/PMOS that I'm trying to navigate. Needless to say - I'm sick of being at war in my own head. <3 #Anxiety #Depression #BipolarDisorder #PTSD #Grief

This is my face right now as I consider the process ahead. 😅
Hello all, I'm asking for tips and advice on applying for disability. The time has finally come. I've been almost totally dependent on my parents for 5 years, and they want to take care of me, but I am now in a situation where it's become necessary to apply.
I'll be researching, but I'd love any advice on what I can do or not do to have the smoothest experience possible.
Thanks! 🩵

Hi, my name is Lily. I'm here because I have several rare chronic illnesses plus some not so rare ones. Two that are the primary behind a lot of secondary are Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy and Autoimmune Gastrointestinal Dysmotility. My mom also lives with myasthenia gravis.

Hey everyone!
This is my first post, I just joined today.
I am reaching out for support as I am feeling very alone in my chronic illness. I have been diagnosed with 15 chronic illnesses; 5 of which are autoimmune diseases. In my journey, I do not feel as though anyone can relate to my experience and people get overwhelmed when I talk about it. I see people’s eye get big and they get uncomfortable or just try to fix my “problems”.
I do not know anyone who has been through what I am going through, or if they are it is not at the extent that I am.
Does anyone have suggestions for this or can anyone help with some support on the matter? I have been feeling very lonely as a result.
Thank you all. ❤️ #ChronicIllness #IntracranialHypertension #exhausted #Loneliness #RheumatoidArthritis #AntiphospholipidSyndrome #Endometriosis #Adenomyosis #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #AlopeciaAreata #Psoriasis #Fibromyalgia #Lupus

So PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is now going to be called PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). I feel like it will describe it better but already so many people don't know about PCOS I worry it's just going to make it more confusing for people. What do you all think? #PolycysticOvarySyndrome #pmos

Do not scold her, she wont understand you are fed up by her actions.
Do not highlight her incapabilities, it only makes it worse.
She wont be in a mood for anything you ask for, but you have to deal with it!
Try to say less "No" to her plans, you know when their brain is pretty messed up, they comeup with wrong decisions, dont call them insane it is just their phase.
They'll scold you for not so trivial things, but dont take it to your heart. If you are weak, you will scold them back, so keep it together.
What could potentially make her feel ok?
Make them feel rested, make a meal for them, but do not try to cook 3x a day. If you do they will again get stressed, they'll think, "wait am i letting go of my womenhood, cooking defined my womenhood, now is it getting replaced?"
Most women love to go out, a weekend trip.
Some fragrances work, sandalwood, musk, lavendar, and a gentle oil massage!
Whatever I say may sound like, make you feel like a "Yes Man", but sorry that's not what it is!
Maintain your ego, by ego I dont mean that you must mark a huge limit to yourself or make them feel less, that's not what Ego really means.
There's a episode in Tom n jerry, where they beautifully depict what ego is. In psychology, the ego is not arrogance, conceit, or a big head. Instead, it is the core, conscious part of your personality that navigates reality, manages your identity, and balances your internal desires with external rules
Expect Zero Gratitude, if you are giving her water, dont expect a "Thank you"!
It is a phase which as a husband you may think it is a long phase. But, get her the right treatment (medical and mental)
Stay strong folks!
