TRUE or FALSE: Organizing comes easy to me.

Happy Monday, Mighties!

For this week’s challenge we’ll be focusing on organization. From the personal items in our homes, to our health needs and schedules, to even staying in touch and spending time with family and friends, there are multiple aspects of our lives that may require organization and balance.

When it comes to organizing, where do you fall? Does it come easy as if it’s second nature to you? Or is it more challenging, like a chore?

Feeling lonely in my condition

I just can't seem to find people on this forum who have muscular dystrophy. There is a group with two members but no one has posted in a long time. I have a rare form but still does anyone have muscular dystrophy here? I just feel isolated and I am able to discuss mental health here and it's beneficial.#ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #MDD #MuscularDystrophy #lonely #DegenerativeDiscDisease #PeripheralNeuropathy #RareDisease #ChronicPain

Tell us about your most recent milestone.

Happy Friday, Mighty friends! 💌

Today, we’re reflecting on our most recent milestones. So, what is a milestone? A milestone is any meaningful action or significant event that marks a shift, change, or stage in your journey. It can represent progress, a realization, or a major accomplishment.

When we usually think of milestones, we often picture big life events—like having children, getting married, graduating, or starting a new job. But milestones come in many forms, big and small.

Today, we’re celebrating our Mighty milestones! These could include:
✨ Finding the right doctor
✨ Beginning your sobriety journey
✨ Starting therapy
✨ Reaching out for help for the first time
✨ Making a positive change to your daily routine
✨ Finally tackling a personal project that’s been on hold for… way too long

Let’s cheer each other on! 🥳🕺
Share your milestone in the comments below!

What is the most challenging part about being undiagnosed?

Trying to manage your health and address the symptoms you're experiencing without a proper diagnosis can be confusing and frustrating, especially when there are more questions than answers. Seeing multiple doctors or specialists, scheduling appointments, keeping thorough documentation, and seeking second (or even third or fourth) opinions can quickly become overwhelming.

What do you find to be the most challenging part of being undiagnosed? What has your experience been like?

What's on your 2025 bucket list?

What’s adventure without bringing out the trusty bucket list 📋✍️? (If you’re not familiar with the term, it means a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime.)

But for today’s purposes, let’s stick to 2025.

On the top of Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks bucket list for the remainder of this year is going to some new museums. She really loves learning and experiencing new things when she can!

What type of support do you appreciate most when you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed?

In moments of stress or overwhelm, knowing how to find relief is important—whether that means leaning on our own coping strategies or accepting support from others. Sometimes it’s having someone simply listen without judgment, delegating tasks to loved ones or friends, receiving words of encouragement, or even just having space and quiet time to recharge.

What kind of support do you most appreciate in times of stress or overwhelm? And what makes that type of support especially helpful for you?
