I’m proud of myself for speaking up to my doctors about a symptom I’ve experienced my whole life but no one has ever looked into. I’m proud of all the ground techniques I’ve learned this year. I’m happy I found 2 apps that help me with mental health and health record keeping. I’m also very proud of my mom who started her chronic health journey with Parkinson’s this year. She is going to speech classes and sharing information with us (family). Her new diagnosis is frustrating and exhausting but she’s learning and still doing things she loves. 2026, please be gentle to us.

Sooo I went back to the hair salon that I recently had a presyncope episode at. But this time I had an anxiety attack. I freaking threw up in the middle of the salon, I sweat through my clothes, and didn’t get my hair done again.

Can I get a break?
