My hair is a constant source of frustration. It’s not just the hair loss, thinning, dullness, etc. But also, it’s that it’s exhausting to wash it and pain prevents me from styling it. There are so many losses right now from loss of capabilities to loss of independence that I can’t just cut it all off into a pixie cut. What have you done? #whatdoyoudo #BadHairDay #coping

Does anyone get overwhelmed with Responsibilities and duties at work? Sometimes when I'm given feedback and asked questions I get so anxious I shut down and tune out. I'm visiblvisibly anxious at work during to my stressload. How to cope?#Anxiety #workhardstressharder #panic #GAD #catastrophicthinking #whatdoyoudo
A sever #Migraine coupled with my #Fibromyalgia has me sitting here with the worst #Allodynia pain of my life! I just finished a steroid taper so I am sure that is playin a huge role in it. I basically feel like one giant bruise and if anything or anyone touches me it sets of the whole body!
#whatdoyoudo when your #Allodynia is flaring bad? I unfortunately am at a loss when it comes to nerve pain medications. allergic to gabapentin and Lyrica. Antidepressants make me depressed haha. So while I have narcotic pain meds, hydrocodone and Tramadol, they dont do much for this type of pain. I am welcome to all suggestions. Otherwise I will sit here with the motto that this too shall pass.
I am struggling with figuring out how to balance my deteriorating health having no idea what is causing it. I just got a new doctor that was actually willing to run tests on me but so far there isn’t anything obvious. I went through this about 15 years ago but it was for a much shorter period and I got better enough to reasonably take back my life- this time though it’s lasting and I don’t know if I should be planning for this forever or hoping it goes away. #whatdoyoudo #UndiagnosedIllness #Acceptance
Sometimes things seem so overwhelming that I just want to quit. I find myself praying and wishing as hard as I can to just not wake up in the morning. I'm so tired of feeling. #whatdoyoudo #NeedSuggestions #Bipolar #Anxiety

It’s so difficult to start my day. I wish I can stop this pain. I wish I can stop living. How am I supposed to succeed in life? 28, F #Depression #Suicide #whatdoyoudo
What do you do or how do you handle when your sig. other or family is affected negatively? Whether it be mental or physical illness, or both. My husband is sometimes down or frustrated about me not feeling well or being depressed/anxious. (I don’t mean upset with me, just upset at the situation). It kills me every time, my heart breaks thinking about him hurting in anyway because of me. #chronic #Relationships #Marriage
