Whether you have a chronic mental or physical health condition, are currently in recovery, experienced trauma, or are having undiagnosed challenges, tattoos can be a reminder of how far you've come or important transitions you've had in your life.
Do you have any tattoos inspired by your health or recovery journey?
Feel free to share about it in the comments below and/or share a photo in your own post and explain how you came up with the design.

Hello everyone!
I am wondering if there would be interest in a new group focused on healing nervous system dysregulation and holistic health.
Many people struggling with various mental health and physical issues or “mystery conditions” have the underlying issue of the sympathetic nervous system having “gotten stuck” in an alert state and lost its flexibility to move to restorative states. This can go with PTSD/CPTSD, occur after prolonged periods of stress and anxiety and also have physical contributors.
It can lead to a myriad of symptoms and be hard to discover in healthcare systems that often don’t look at the whole body and instead of dealing with the root cause, treat only symptoms.
I am myself on a journey trying to heal after many years of mental health and health struggles and not understanding the whole picture. I am hoping to connect with others, to share my knowledge, learn from you, and to support each other along the way.
The group would be relevant for you if you:
- Know or suspect you have a dysregulated nervous system
- Struggle with high functioning anxiety, chronic stress, chronic insomnia and/or chronic fatigue
- Are living in survival mode, always feeling like you have to be ready
- Have a myriad unclear symptoms, no clear diagnosis or one that explains the whole picture
- Want to approach your health and well-being more holistically – meaning taking care of all aspects of you, healing the root causes and not just treating symptoms
The group could be helpful through:
- Sharing what has been helpful for us, new things we’ve learnt, resources
- Checking in on each other, see where we are at
- Helping to hold each other accountable and stay on track on our health journeys
If anyone would be interested or if there already is a group like this I’ve missed – let me know.
Hope you are having a good or at least okay day!

Hi, my name is NoOneBelieves. I'm here because I have chronic pain that has gone undiagnosed for 10 years now. Am still in my early years of life.With this pain, on many occasions my family has left me unseen and unnoticed when I needed them the most, this has sparked feelings of low self esteem, worthiness, feelings of being a burden and a reason for pain and sadness in people's lives. I have some friends I managed to make but I push them away because I feel unworthy of love, a burden, like how can others not see me a burden when my family views me as one. My symptoms have gotten worse over time and I feel my life slip off slowly but no one notices and it's funny because once i ever get a diagnosis (God willing) everyone will be like we knew something was not okay. Like you barely looked me in the eyes when I was at my lowest. Am not complaining because my family has helped with my medication and other things but am isolating a lot lately, am in so much pain lately, my brain is foggy lately and it's not these usual relapses but this feels more like the new normal. I just want a diagnosis so that atleast I can rest my mind and at least people stop considering me a mad one. Sorry for the many words but everything's weighing out on me so much lately and I only have me since I cant trust anyone with understanding my pain
Getting a proper diagnosis can take time and patience, and knowing which topics and concerns to share with your health care team can help with getting the answers, care, understanding, and support you deserve.
Well there you go, 2nd time I could ever come out anywhere. Oof. Yow. That just feels worse the more I think about it. It's not like one living soul ever responded positively to this fact. Can I get an "I" on the group label? Do I even want representation more than to be rid of some bugged out chromosome? Why would I even want the American medical establishment to know me this well? Big nope to doctors on this one too. I wouldn't mind a physical from someone who's not shrugging off my pathophysiology but who could that be? Doctors & TSA grabbing my junk is not fun, so why should I be fussed about the consequences of avoiding reminders of molestation?
By the way I'd be happy to help with some IT security for The Mighty just for my own peace of mind. Being ostracised this much sure taught me a lot of ethical hacking wisdom. The overwhelming feeling is that I'm more acceped among machinery. If mighty staffers want help with bots & trolls & AI & IT I just want to pay something forward rather than ruminate on my wacky self.
It's a good thing to lose sleep over when the only person I ever told this to IRL stands to benefit from more perspective someday though. One person out of billions is the only reason I'm even alive to say this.
Somehow despite the nagging presumption I can't really have any relationships, the fact that I'm wrong about that probably must be the only reason I survived as long as I have. That's something I need to be direct about with someone who helped me. I think #Autism leads to disastrous misconceptions about emotions & gender roles as a result. As a guy, in the majority of that group, I feel it's more frowned upon to talk about this.
I have undiagnosed ADHD, and living with it feels like I have nowhere to go. Many times I have found myself mushed between not trying to self-diagnose myself, but also knowing that I don't fit in the norms like others do. I just don't have any answers to provide when people ask about what I have or why my certain habits or mannerisms are a bit different; they often label them as me being "careless", "reckless", or just simply "slow" or "picky" I have so many names given to me, yet each one of them feels very nameless. It's like I just can't fit in anywhere.
I got my CWD (Children with Diabetes) award for 25 years of type 1 diabetes! Just wanted to share this milestone. It was weirdly emotional to get the medal in the mail and be recognized for one of my hardest invisible battles. 💙
And no, I did not eat too much sugar as a kid. It was a total coincidence being diagnosed on Halloween! Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. 👍
*Been asked that question soooo much* 😅
