Chronic illness (mental and physical)

[lain]

Post here to vent how health issues are wearing you down to in turn find people who can relate and in turn will make you feel better...

Me:

Depression, anxiety, (recovering agoraphobic), joint problems, insomnia/sleep problems... digestive problems...

Man, I'm exhausted today. And kinda nauseated. How are you feeling?

Also, no one should feel like their issues aren't relevant just because someone has it worse. No belittling anyone's struggles! We are here to be supportive!!! Also, if you don't believe in mental illness, then this probably isn't the thread for you.

Narcolepsy, paraplegic, possible depression (related to the narcolepsy) chronic pain...

It's all snowy outside. So, I'm all hurty today.

Oh the cold hurts. It doesn't make sense but it does! Forgot to add I have fibromayalgia.

It makes sense how not sleeping can cause depression. Brains no work without good sleep. If I've been like, really stressed, I have to sleep a lot to recover. Usually weird dreams too.

Thou art a trooper! Keep on keeping on!

How is everyone today? It's rainy and gross where I am. Woke up depressed and needing to catch up on sleep but then the anxiety was like, "You are not allowed to sleep because you have things to do even though you are too tired to do them because you can't sleep because you---" etc etc...

I angry-cleaned this morning because my family are all slobs, (not excluding myself). I don't understand how we use all the spoons in one day and fill an entire garbage can up also.

I think this is a great thread idea though I think healthy people should be allowed to post in here too, even if they can't relate to things directly they can still give moral support.

Anyways I hope that today you guys are not feeling too bad.

I made a club for us to hang out (based on health issues) that's in my signature! But, this is great idea.

I belong in here too, for many reasons. I'm autistic, but high functioning and I struggle with bipolar and schizophrenia. My mood seems to be decent today, but the past few days have been very hard. When I have down days I have them really bad. I'm hoping to get something done today, but it seems like my mood is high enough for me to accomplish anything... I'll likely just jump from website to website, looking at my projects, without working on anything.

Dude, I feel ya. To an extent anyway. I've been in the dumps for about two days now. It needs to go the heck away.

I'm not bipolar. Just depressed, anxious, and hurt-y. Hopefully we can get out of our pits soon though. #waititout #itwillpass lol My mantras.

I think I crawled out of my pit, for now, and got caught up in all my RP's.

Depression can be very serious. I used to be extreamly depressed. Months of sadness. It's most certainly the worst part of my life. Hopefully you can overcome it and have a good life. Down days always happen for me, but at least half of the time I'm happy.

[Mr.Cynic]

Autism and Paranoid Schizophrenia, with coexisting depression and anxiety. And I am personally going through something that's really ramped up my depression and just makes me super tired, hopeless feeling, and feel like I am worth nothing.

I wish, I wasn't born fucked in the head.

I fucking love this thread.
Look at all this support to one another.
Look at all this connection.
