@Jazzybella me too
0
I wanted to get commuity and advice about my non24. Unfortunately there isn't anything about non24 on here, but there is general circadian rhythm disorder, so good enough for me
29d
I'm up when I find some answers as to how I can treat my body better and to know that people are kind of alike me and going through relatively the same things the more that I see that people that have had these things and what they've experiencing what they've been diagnosed with it helps me to learn about what could possibly be wrong with me
34d
Medical conditions and to see how people deal with them and how to eat healthier
@happybug that's good! I hope you find the advice you need!
40d
I'm suffering... dealing with my mental health while trying to find residential mental help for my son.. suicidal 3xs under 4months. Then helping with husbands health. Enough is enough...
@Tech91 I'm so sorry that sounds like a lot
I want to meet others with similar struggles, help them, and see if they can help me
@UrFavADHDer I hope you find others to help you
43d
This app is amazing be able to talk to people that are dealing with same health as you
@LaurenRomero I agree
44d
I'm still hopeful I'll find a friend
@wheely_kismet I hope you find someone as well
177d
I suffer from a lot of conditions and I want to find people that are like me.. maybe make friends
I've felt so alone and I want people to talk to without feeling like I'm burdening anyone
183d
I have children to look after and fight for
192d
I have allot of conditions, but I'm hoping all this will help me the advice.
204d
I need to know I'm not crazy, that it's not all in my head. And that there are others with similar/same issues
I need more support and acceptance than what I actually get from family.
205d
My health is a dumpster fire floating down a heavily flooded street.
206d
Why not? š¤·š»āāļø
207d
I need support from people who get it
208d
I was recently diagnosed with my 8th chronic health problem and wanted to feel not so alone in my journeys.
217d
Because I need people that understand what I'm going through, my family doesn't care and all I get from them is emotional abuse
224d
The community is very kind, compassionate and helpful.
225d
I'm here because of a psychotic manic episode that made me feel like I was a freak. It's good to have peer support from people who can directly relate to your struggles.
I'm here because this is the best peer support for my multiple issues. I can both get help and help others.
227d
I want to get my crippling anxiety and fear of existence under control. I feel like no one in my life understands the severity of what I'm going thru.
314d
My fight with chronic illness has been a lonely one so far. I really need some support from people who understand :)
315d
I want to be able to talk to people who are experiencing the same things I am
316d
Because I want to be a strong community and alike advocate!! I love helping people and Iām so honored that I get to share this platform with all of you lovely humans!! Iām so grateful to do what I love here and on social media in general!!! To my alike advocate team, Iām so thankful for you!! And to my favorite community manager Roni, girl I love you!! Thank you for being a light in some dark times. Ans yo my alike baddies, thank you for allowing me to be my true attentive selfš
I'm here because I am looking for people who have the same or similar conditions to me to see what their experiences with the conditions and medication are.
I come on here to learn practical options. They may not work. But at least something that has worked for someone else. And sometines eve more useful, a warning not to try something. Doctors only treat what they know how to treat. So scared of malpractice. And so many work for big companies that control their actions. They wont venture to give practical advice even when they cant provide substantial medical advice. Funny is the new norm, that unless you have an official diagnosis, you dont have the disease (even if youve had it for years and everything else they know of has been ruled out)
317d
I want to find people who can help me ask the right questions, who have been through what I'm going through and understand.
I want to see more people with the same illnesses
336d
I'm here because I want friends. Friends who know what it's like. Friends I can relate to.

345d
I'm here because the doctors don't know what's wrong with me. It's stopping me live my life and I'm hoping someone else might know why my stomach bloats, gives me pain so bad I'm doubled over, and makes my bowel movements changeable x
351d
Would love to make friends who understand me
352d
I'm hoping to find other ways of managing this horrible pain. As well as feeling better in myself.
355d
I'm hoping to find friends to talk to who understand.
363d
i like to ask questions but i want to talk to real people who understand instead of only looking it up
368d
I don't want to feel alone. Feel validation with someone who truly understands.
374d
I want to find better ways to lose weight
Most people don't seem to understand how hard things are for me. "Just" do the things neurotypicals can do easily. "Just" make friends, go outside, etc. It ain't that easy and I wish people would understand instead of just sighing out loud when things don't go as easily for them because I'm "too much" for them.
375d
I have so many symptoms that i dont know what for and neither do my doctors and feel like im insane which adds to my poor mental health
381d
I'm looking for friends that share my physical conditions
382d
PMDD, bipolar depression, GAD and an inability to keep up with being a person.
I suffer from awful health anxiety and an array of stomach symptoms. Iām sick of being passed around doctor to doctor with no result.
I wanted an anonymous space to talk freely about my struggles with people Who actually understand
I saw the app on the App Store and thought o would give it a try also I am in pain all the time š
392d
I kept seeing adverts for this app and have recently started therapy for trauma. I finally feel able to face up to what happened to me and I'll take any help I can get.
394d
I'm in pain all the time, but I'm scared to go to the doctor.
395d
Find someone with my condition and help others too š
I want to find just one person who has most of the main conditions I have so I know Im not alone, because I feel so alone as of now.
Medical advice is almost never enough. Most medical professionals don't listen, and I've found talking to others with the same/similar conditions has been the most helpful way to find help:)
I needed to learn more about my struggles and that I am not just imagining it.
396d
an add or 3
To find people who experience similar situations & share
397d
I'm having the worst time of my life, want to give up because it all hurts so badly and I don't know what to do. If I can't find help I know I will give up. I don't mean to be a downer but because nothing is looking good for me at all I can't help itš„
398d
Healthy people try to understand what I deal with every day but they can't, here I know I'm not alone and I can connect with people who know what I'm struggling with.
I need mental and someone to talk to and who has time
I like to talk to people who are able to understand me and relate
399d
I just want to feel like I belong in this world.
I need a space for mental support
My therapist, psychiatrist, and gastroenterologist told me that a community of similar people would help me have confidence that life doesn't end with mental or physical illness š¤
Oftentimes, I feel like no one understands what I am going through.
400d
Sometimes thereās things I canāt talk to my friends about cause they wouldnāt understand
I'm here because I just needed to find a community app that I can use to talk to people that are dealing with the same issues as I am and get advice from them if possible
407d
I'm here bc I like finding out what others do to manage their symptoms. I feel like this app has the potential to be more helpful than the professionals bc it's one thing to know about a disorder, it's another to live with it. I feel like all the research about people with disorders is wholly lacking in the qualitative element that would really help a lot of us manage our symptoms.

411d
Iām here becuase I want to feel less alone , be around people that understand . Chat with them . Help someone and maybe someone can help me
412d
I'm here because I like to help others, I want to feel less alone, I want to connect with others that understand, and I want to make sure my voice is heard and my experiences are helping other people that might need it.
424d
First Post. I'm here because I like to read I'm not alone in my physical and emotional pain there are many out there like me
Sometimes it's good to be able to talk to unbiased people who understand exactly what I'm going through
I need a sense of community and I want to help others with the knowledge i gained the hard way
I can't find a good new therapist yet...so close to just putting myself in hospital after family moved back in. And want boyfriend to come too. I'll probably never have time alone... and it's a new place to live. Don't feel like can walk anywhere yet. I was only told it would happen not talked about it first. The only plus is seeing grandbaby. But it's a struggle being a 24 7 grandparent too
I feel alone dealing with my condition š„
I came here to have some help but thatās not really happening Iām just the same everywhere else and thatās being hated and ignored by everyone I guess then thatās the way it will always remain for me because clearly Iām fucking useless and both but a bad sign and bad luck
425d
I need help to interact people
426d
I need help
I am here because originally I wanted to learn more about IBS and then I just covered how great this place was for on my other problems and that is why I stay. I also think that I might have DID or something similar.

It will be nice to talk to people who understand what I go through
434d
I want to connect with others who understand what life is like with my health conditions.
I want to remind myself that others like me exist and to also recover from it
435d
I want a friend that understands..I had a best friend that was like a sister for over 4years and few weeks ago she told me she wanted nothing more to do with me partly cus her marriage broke down n I said I have a spare room if u ever need it to which she went mad at me saying she has kids she can't leave n it's easy for me to split with my hubby (it wasn't I overdosed wen we split) and said she had wanted to say to me 100s of times nobody's in pain 24,7 and I faked it all (which sent me suicidal as I felt I had sombody who understood it turned out they had thought it was fake) I just want people that get it.im far from big headed etc but I'm a caring person n I'm sick of being taken advantage of

I need to feel a sense of community among people who can understand me. I also need to work on my social skills.
445d
I kept seeing the add, and I'm chronically ill, so I thought why not
447d
I've never met another person (to my knowledge) with schizoaffective and being surrounded by people that understand is comforting.
448d
I enjoy the true anonymity. Theres no chance of anyone irl finding me. I feel like I can actually be honest here and connect with people going through the same stuff with no fear of judgment.
@SapleMyrup same! People in my life don't understand
@HocusFocus They try and I love em but it's different for me
I feel completely alone

I want to provide any insight I can as well as collecting the wisdom of others! Reviewing medications is important to me too.
461d
I have a lot of issues and I'm trying to figure them out. ASD and ADHD tend to have resources for parents or kids, but not, y'know, adults with the disorders. So I'm here to feel less alone.
I'm autistic and have troubles learning more about autism without the sources being geared towards little kids š

@mthebrave well now you have. Nice to meet ya.
Im panicking
I'm tired of not knowing what's going on with my body. The doctors always tell me the same stuff that hasn't worked since elementary school. I need to find something that does.
I'm newly Ill with several illnesses and looking for people who understand. I
I keep seeing this post pop up

ā¦I want to be understood with what I have. And find other who have it or understand it.
to feel less alone with my conditions
I have a couple friends one we go out to lunch monthly the other every few months.
I am here because talking with people who understand I believe helps not only yourself but the other person as well.
468d
Having people I can connect with who understand what I'm dealing with helps a lot.
Because in person alot of people I know don't have these medical problems that I have
469d
I wanted to be understood and not put down by what Iām going through, and for people with a panic disorder to give me advice on how to handle my attacks, advice with medications and to make new friends.
I wanted to find like-minded individuals who were also facing the same medical struggles as myself (both mental and physical) as only having people around who will never understand the extent of my difficulties- becomes beyond mind numbing when it comes down to trying to express how and why I feel the way I do.
I'm bipolar
I suffer from Autism anxiety and learning disabilities
An Instagram advertisment
470d
I'm scouring every last little bit of the internet for someone like me.
My social group online is small, but my in-person friend group is even smaller - and I want to socialize (which is absolutely terrifying and gross lmao never thought I'd want to willingly socialize š„“ thanks chronic illnesses and houseboundishness) I need and want friends who are also chronically ill, ideally in-person but also online. Therefore, I am h e r e (I'm based in NJ, USA btw ššš)
I am searching for a friend to exchange mental and emotional support.
471d
I'm new. Besides dealing with my own health issues, I'm mom to 4 now adult children, 3 who have autism and 1 has borderline personality disorder. I'm grandma to 2 who also have autism. 1 my husband and I have custody of and the other we haven't seen in 2 years. The oldest was taken so far away from his mother that even she can't see him. With that, I have to deal with her emotional outbursts (she's the one with bpd) which in turn trigger massive stress. I'm basically the peacekeepers in my home and truth be told, I'm ready to blow a gasket. That being said, at this point all I can do is say hello.
Just looking for hope. Haven't found it, yet.
472d
I am sick of the pain from dealing with high levels of ignorance from those closest to me and beyond.
I'm here so I don't feel so alone with life struggles.
Iām here because I wanted to feel less alone in my struggles. It sucks to know that others are dealing with similar or worse illnesses, but itās also reassuring for me; if someone else can get through it so can I!
I wanted to hear more experinces of Autism spectrum disorder and see if people could relate to me and if i could relate to other people. Since finding out i had ASD ive felt so alone. It feels like nobody in my personal life understands me or my asd and sometimes it feels like they dont care to understand. Not a dig at those people. Its just how it is, and asd can be difficult to understand, and i wont expect anyone to be an expert on it all of a sudden. So i came here to be understood and to understand.
477d
I've seen this app advertised alot today on insta and thought I'd give it a go š¤. I like that I can talk to people that are going through the same thing can help each other ā¤ļø
480d
i saw one too many ads and i caved lol
488d
My doctor's don't know what to make of me anymore. They don't know why I "suddenly developed this heart condition" (that I had pointed out to them and questioned when I was hospitalized 3 years ago). The ER wouldn't address my concerns about the seizure I had (my cardiologist got me a referral to neurology). They don't know why I'm so exhausted all the time since my last hospitalization..... They have future treatment plans lined up though if I have another heart episode.
I want to connect with people similar to me
It's cheaper than healthcareš„

489d
I want to try a star fruit
I just want to connect with more people who can relate to my experiences and vice versa
I need more neurodivergent friends. Neurotypicals are exhausting, and most of my friends are neurotypical.
490d
I just want to know there are other people like me. Also, I'm bored
I need a community where I can be myself and support others and feel supported back in all our health journies
I was curious about this app and so far it's nice so I stayed
494d
It's helpful to have community who's understanding.
499d
I want to find other people with problems like me
It's getting bad again š¤·
The word is on fire but I have stuff to do tomorrow
Sick of hearing non-disabled people that are not doctors telling me how I feel. tired of being lonely. Tired of a lot of things actually. Nice to have some people that are similar to me.
Tired of feeling alone and have hopes to have some conversation with like minded people
Iām here because Iām a basket case of emotions
I'm effing exhausted. And no one really understands the struggle.
500d
Iām tired of feeling alone š„
I need a place to say things I can't to my parents
I have pseudo seizures and I want to connect with people that deal with them also.
I'm trying to find a way to get rid of the insulin and talk to people who have type 2 diabetes so I can learn more about it
I wish to meet new friends here that I can always talk to
Want to try exotic fruits š
501d
Sometimes I just need to let it out or get some advice. It makes me feel not so alone
I'm here because as much as they try, my friends don't always understand my struggles, so it's nice to have a space just for that. Plus, I like learning coping and management tips from others with similar experiences
I feel isolated in my every day life and canāt seem to find people who understand my struggles
Because I wanted to find people like me, so far not working out
502d
It reminds me that Iām not the only one, that there are people that understand me or that at least want to listen. I also like doing the same for others.
Im here because I'm dealing with something that's nearly unheard of and have no way to find others with my experiences or validate my feelings on it.
504d
because knowing that other people are out there with my kinds of problems make me feel less aloneā¤ļø
I feel safe here. I can share and feel less alone. Plus everyone is very kind and supportive.
I Finally found a community of people I can relate to and ask advice from
I finally found a place to not feel alone. It's like... when you're physically or mentally ill with something that others don't have or understand, they tend to be dismissive toward you and your feelings. Sometimes I feel like an outcast.
I also have no where else to go hoping i can make friends here.. i have depression ... anxiety and ptsd
I have no where else to go
506d
To listen to others and perhaps share my experiences! Let me know if you ever have any troubles or just simply wish to chat!
Iām looking to find a community of people who really understand how hard mental health can be. Itās not always success, but there a periods where you donāt feel better and itās okay.
Iām looking for someone that can relate to me with my femoral anteversion pain.
Hello nice to meet you
I want others to know they are not alone
507d
Cause I seek to help others before myself, but now people can help me as well-
no one has this disease and when you go to the doctor it's extremely difficult because doctors aren't educated about it either .
I'm trying to be a better student but everything and anything distracts me . Noises and everything makes me very frustrated and it discourages me so much . Sometimes I feel like Tylenol or any other medications don't seem to work š
I'm trying to feel less isolated/alone when it comes to my illnesses, especially mental illness.
@JJ_W it's pretty hard when your own family jokes about you being supposedly "crazy " that's very frustrating
I'm here
Im herr because the last 20 years have been a struggle. Nothing has gotten easisr and I'm just looking for things to keep my mind off of suicidal ideation.
508d
Looking for friends who can relate š
I just can't end it
I feel alone and misunderstood in my day-to-day struggles
I need to talk to people who get it
I need people like me and that understand what I'm dealing with
I'd like to find and give moral support
ā¤ļø š
i need to sort through my issues right now.
Looking for new ways to improve myself that's free because I don't have any insurance to pay for group therapy or any therapy. I don't trust them anyway because I personally know that there are those that don't abide by confidentiality laws. I don't have any friends to talk to, and sometimes even just a few minutes of conversation or a change of the current situation is enough to make a difference. My town is full of people that pretend to be something they aren't; I just want to talk to people that are factual about their lives. It's like fresh air. I've been crying off and on since I downloaded but it's a good thing. I haven't been able to cry in a while now.
509d
I have health anxiety but I want to make new friends
I would like friends

I need to make some friends, and have people who understand what i go through
I need to find myself and a safe place to talk to people about things I can't with my parents.
I hurt and I can't find others that know what it's like, I want to find others like me or with similar experiences
I want to help and support others who are going through similar things as me
I want to meet people to get other opinions about certain subjects.

I'm tired of people not understanding wtf I'm talking about
@Lin92 amen amen š¤ā¤ļøš
My friends and family are sick of me trying to explain my illness. It's a waste of time for all of us because they can't understand.
I died.. my brain shut down. And i was paralyzed. I overdosed. after that.. i decided to stop taking medication and tackle my mental illnesses
517d
I suffer from BP2, OCD, GAD, & Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) I feel alone. Not many people in my life understand one let alone all of my struggles
I have been having a lot of sleep problems recently, and I'm sick of doctors giving me the run-around and waiting months for appointments where they tell me they can't help!! I just want to talk to other people with similar issues and hopefully learn from them
It's nice to talk to people who understand what it's like to be mentally ill. Normally I feel stigmatized and marginalized. Like I'm a child. People get angry with me too and that's hurtful because I'm trying sooo hard to keep control. Now I stay alone most of the time because I associate people with pain. I can be myself here instead of trying to act " normal ", whatever that is.
I feel so lost and alone. I feel like I'm the only one struggling with my mental health in such a severe way and that I will for the rest of my life. I think this is the only group that gets me.
518d
I donāt know which of my symptoms come from what health problem.
My many tmj specialists have yet to fix me. And I donāt have any support anymore
519d
I'm here because my primary care provider has made me feel alone and unheard. Here, I feel like I have people I can talk to because, they deal with the same stuff.
522d
Trying to get advice on a new/worstening chronic illness
Self talk- tell yourself enough is enough and your gonna step out and do something fun. š
Trying to help myself and I also don't want to be depressed, have anxiety/OCD all the time, and not want to die every second of the day. I want to be able to love myself freely and others without feeling like I'm being judged by everyone every second of the day. Sorry if that's a little heavy but it's the truth. ā¤ļøā„ļøā¤ļøā„ļø

I like to know that I'm not the only person who feels like they have a 1000 mental and physical health issues.
I have alot of mental issues that have caused me to be considered disabled. Learning that it is okay to not be like neurotypical or functionally optimal people is hard but I'm trying.
I don't have anything else to turn to
I like knowing I'm not alone
Dont feel alone alot of ppl on here have been through some things and can be real resourceful...so welcomeā¤ļø

I'm here because I like helping people but I'm too blunt and noncommittal to be a therapist lol
I struggle with severe anxiety that has recently worsened my depression, i needed an app with advice and posts and this was perfect :)
I was recommended this app multiple times and said fine I'll give it a go. Pretty cool being on here tbh because many people have the same experience going on.

I'm here because I can't talk to my parents about the many things that are probably wrong with me. And I don't know how to get professional help without them finding out, so instead I talk to people online.
Iām here because I am mentally Iāll but I donāt know what type of illness and I canāt go to the hospital because theyāre always booked so I canāt get a therapist Iāve tried to ask my parents so many times Iāve been staying up really late and the only thing that helps me sleep is thc and when that doesnāt work I just start thinking too much and I end up giving myself a headache I feel like there is so much wrong but a lot right at the same time
556d
Iām here because of my IBS and my mental health conditions. Reading other peoples stories and posts always makes me feel like Iām not as alone as I think I am. That others are also experiencing these things. Itās awful that weāre all in pain, but weāre in this together! Iām not alone. ^^

I like the idea of just a nice anonymous community that lets you see how different/much we all are with each other but come together to connect and see if we can take something from this at all for ourselves or even give a little to others for themselves š³ I donāt think anyone around me I know which isnāt many people anymore for numerous reasons can truly understand what im going through with my health currently and they donāt understand š itās nice to see people similar to me out there I always know there is but I just think people donāt think of others enough outside of themselves which is natural ofc but I tend to think of other people and try to see many sides so I like this I hope this app grows even if I stop using it š¤·š½āāļø
I don't have any friends and I feel like nobody understands me

To know Iām not alone and talk with others who struggle like I do.

I donāt feel comfortable talking about my health problems anywhere else so I figured an app made for anonymous venting/advice exchanging might be better than holding it all in.

I don't feel like doctors have time to listen, and my friends get burnt out when I talk about my health problems too much. But folks here get what it feels like to have your body betray you, or your mind play tricks on you, or both at the same time, and never tell me I'm just being negative or making things up to try to get narcotics or attention.
i want to feel seen!! and to vent lol
I have no one irl that has fibro or ocd/mysophobia so it can be really stressful without someone who understands
I find it difficult to communicate clearly about needing reduced pain levels without sounding like I'm drug seeking
599d
Because I'm alone with this illness At least that how everyone makes me feel. The hospital,family my kids Just dont like it. I was fone 2 years ago until my spouse and so called friend was caught in my houseš„š„
I'm not the person who generally have friends. So I can only talk to my husband or mom. I had my aunt that I had gotten extremely close too due too her and I going through everything the same. However she lost her fight 2 years ago. I love my husband he's my best friend but he can only understand so far. Same with my mom. So I was suggested to look on here. It has been nice talking with people who fully get the everyday struggles.
I have years of physical and mental abuse I've never addressed as well as childhood traumas. My family isn't one to talk about things. I've been carrying so much for so long that it's truly effecting my adult life and being a mother. I know it's time to talk about it.
600d
It's hard to find people who truly understand what I'm going through day in and day out. Just because I push through to do things doesn't mean I "feel good" it just means I have stuff that has to be done...
Not sure but im here i guess
I need advice from people who aren't gonna corrupt me.
Iām afraid of being used or left alone. š„
602d
Iām here because this is an amazing community, and finding people who relate to my health issues is extremely therapeutic to me. This app helps me feel much less alone! š š
603d
I want to feel understood.
I found this on my trauma day and thought it was most fitting for self care I appreciate the kindness, here
I'm here because I survived my family's dysfunction and the years of sexual abuse from multiple family members but I still need someone who's going to understand the feelings I've had and I do have about my problems.
I find this app cathartic for when you feel like you still need to talk but you told everyone around you already. Also is nice to rant or listen to others ranting. Lastly it's validating when others have multiple chronic conditions and symptoms like you do that all react because of each other.
604d
iāve always only wanted someone else to understand
606d
I'm here because I needed to know if there was more people that had the same condition as me that was going through the same things as I am and hopefully to make new friends š¤

I'm here because I need someone to believe me.
I wanted to meet more folks like me
I'm here because when I talk to my friends and family about struggling to convince because of my PCOS they act like it's my fault and in just not trying hard enough š I just wanna talk to someone who understands.
I'm tired of being unheard. I'm finally old enough that my doctors are taking my health concerns more seriously, but I still feel like we don't have it all figured out, and who better to learn from and connect to but people that are going through similar or same issues. Thank you for being so kind everyone. And to everyone that said loneliness or needing friends... You are not alone anymore.
I'm spreading the Gospel trying to shine a bright light in the darkness, where there is no hope I'm bring 10, 50 gallon buckets of hope mercy and love etc and I'm pouring it out on everyone regardless of whether the want hope or not.

I'm here because I needed someone other than family and friends to help me out with my Recovery from Childhood sexual abuse from multiple family members I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I survived and the entire time I felt worthless .now I'm.beginning to take my worth back and heal myself with the help of medications talk therapy ACA Therapy And EMDR

Here in life because of my daughter. Here in the app because I need friends, someone to talk to who actually understands what is happening. š Virtual hugs to everyone š¤
I want to talk about my conditions to people who actually understand, instead of the type of people who are like "everyone is a little depressed" and the kind of people who pity you.
I need people to talk to that i know wont go and spread it all around school and i need to be able to talk to people without thinking they will think badly of me
612d
This app feels like a warm tight hug, like wrapping up in freshly washed and dried blankets, and like your first bite of a good meal after a really long day. We needed this. Iām grateful for this space it keeps me grounded and can offer hope just when I started to lose it.

I'm here trying to just find real answers from people who have actual knowledge. I have trusted doctors for years to no avail. I'm almost 30 years into this condition and I still am learning everyday. I'm in desperate need.
I feel so alone in all my struggles
629d
I have physical and mental issues. It's nice to know there are people out there I can relate to and share ideas.
No one gets what I am going through. I hate it when people say, "I have anxiety too and I...{fill in the blank}." "I still get up and go to work, etc...." Well your anxiety isn't like mine and our responses are not alike either. It's impossible to understand why some days I can get up and work and deal with it (push through the anxiety) and other days I sit and stare blankly and watch my consequences unfold around me. Do people think I LIKE digging myself into these holes?
I was looking for some community support.

634d
Because we wanna meet some new dr
It's wonderful getting to see, read,and learn about others who experience the world in a similar way that I do. It helps me feel not alone, less alien, and gives me additional tools to deal with the myriad of symptoms I contend with daily. šš¼šš¼
My doctor said I had Hashimoto disease and didnāt test me for Hep C. So, just saying, if you are tired all the time it could be something else besides your thyroid. After about six months on your meds if you donāt feel better get tested for underlying infection.

I live in a pretty isolated area when it comes to mental health and I want to hear from people who face similar struggles as mine š
@Bunny.girl I'm here for you
The conversations and communities surrounding DID and OSDD in other online spaces weren't helpful or fulfilling. They were very focused on socialization and discourse and I wanted a place where I could talk about my actual health.
I followed an ad here. I was playing one of the games on my phone, and then this app popped up in an ad. I wanted to see how it worked. And I've helped a lot of people already with some of their problems.

If that picture is referring to why am I here meaning on this page, well, I thought it would be amazing to meet people in the same boat. But if this picture refers to why am I here on earth?

I question if I have autism and I recently started seeing a psychiatrist and they wanted to discuss ADHD. So I was hoping to find like minded individuals going through similar life challenges.

My disease makes me feel lonely and misunderstood. Doctors arenāt super helpful because itās a rare disease, so any advice is good too.
Doctor's don't seem to understand what is wrong. In need of a good support group with people who are going through the same stuff.

I am here to talk with people struggling with the same issue as me. I want to be able to offer what has worked for me and possibly learn something beneficial that has helped someone else. I want to be able to give some love and support to those who are having a hard time coping with chronic illness. I want everyone here to know that this platform is a safe place for us. We are pretty much all here for the same reason. If you need someone to lean on, I will always respond and do my best to make you feel heard and understood. šā¤ļø
I take duloxetine and ashwaganda. Seems to keep my anxiety in check. I think my anxiety is a result of my fibro and perimenopause
@jax1457 I take duloxetene too. Not sure it does me any good except helps me fall asleep, but I could be wrong. I'm on levothyroxine as well, and that's balanced me out a little
@draginfly Yes, by sharing with people!
Can anyone relate? Plus I'm almost fifty, been an amputee my whole life, haven't worked in over a decade and can't get disability... Seriously?
This dis ease we live with, at least in my experience, streaks havoc on my life. I couldn't hold down a job because I'm sick almost every day, usually in the morning. It gets better for a bit. But it's always there, looming. The nausea incapacitates me and I turn into an irritable yuck of a person. Then I feel all the feelings of recuperating, rehydrating with no appetite, gathering energy. Out of my pancreatic enzymes right now, so I'm only eating very intentionally because it doesn't end well without them.
By sharing with people...
I'd like to know why they treat the symptoms but rarely do I come across a doctor who is interested in my diet. Seems if they want to examine my poop then they should be concerned with what I eat. Maybe we are looking to the wrong sources, and here I'm hoping to find some real life answers.
I really want to talk to people who can relate and won't just dismiss things like doctors do. I'd like to have a supportive group to help me through hard times.
@HowPow hi there HowPow. I'm just reaching out, new to this but maybe we are looking for the same thing? Someone to talk to, who cares and understands in ways doctors don't or can't.

I'm here because I've suffered with social anxiety involving panick attacks and along with general anxiety even if . Have tried numerous anto depressants anti pysciotics etc. NE RR has one worked. āøĆ“it's just me in the comforts of my own home. Terrible terrible long nights of tossing and turning brain won't shut off racing thoughts all through the night! Wake up.if you even sleep at all worn out worse than when you went to bed the night before. Was taking a benzos and had great results but after 5 years of treatment my doctor passed away . Laws have made it almost possible to get a nerve pill and it's.so wrong that people like me with true mental health problems should y have to suffer when. There is still good doctors out there just trying to help people like me. I've suffered many a day and a night when there's medication to help people like me. That's the part that really gets me. But anyway I'm new to this so Hello everyone!!! Hope your day is great!!!
Pulmonary arterial hypertension. Looking for others like me
No one in my life has my conditions and they try their best, but they cannot understand. So hearing stories like mine helps
To know everyone elseās thoughts and experiences and to know how all this can affect someone.
Because I've been struggling with so many things lately and I have no one who really understands
Chronic conditions are extremely isolating.
I'm here because I don't know how to cope with my life. I'm fat, emotional wreck, and impulsive. I need support and people in my life keep leaving. I have nobody who genuinely cares.

I feel super alone and its nice to see im not and get answers from people who go through the same thing, the only people i could ask before was my doctors who arent always helpful/dont really get it
I wanna connect with others who know my struggles because I'm tired of not feeling heard or understood.
There's not many people I can talk to my conditions about irl.
I have people to talk to that understand my illness and maybe make a friend. ā¤ļø
I'm sick of surface level conversations about the symptoms most people relate to without my condition, I want to talk in depth and relate to someone who actually gets it

I suffer from diabetes. 3 years ago the diagnose and all the trouble was about my type 2 diabetes. All pre-diabetes and the beginning of diabetes I spent with my pcp doctor, but as i see i didnt win the fight. I have just made all worse and worse. Recently, i visited an endocrinologist, because glucose level was so insane high a few months in a row. After the endocrinologist visit and a lot of lab blood tests the doctor said I don't have type 2. I have LADA. Being treated almost 3 years for type 2. I'm so confused. I need some help. I do not know for sure what kind of help i need. All symptomes became worse and stronger. I gained weight. I am always hungry. I've lost 3 teeth which just crushed leaving the roots only in my gums. No way to fix it. No money for that already. I feel this brain fog. Often I feel like I have a pot on my head and cannot concentrate, I miss my bright mind, I often forget things, I drop things from my hands, I am sleepless sometimes for days or im so sleepy that I can fall asleep just sitting. This often fatigue is hard to deal with. Very hard to work and be in time at work. I had twice a clogged vein in my leg. Twice it was so swollen and painful like a hard rope. I needed at least 1-2 months until that will dissappear. The glucose level often is so high that I can't believe. I'm on insulin. 5 shots a day. Also 2 pills of metfomin 1000mg daily. The lab results are so bad.. Im so lost. I am 43 years old and i dream of my sexual life from the recent past, now it is a disaster. I know all is because of this diabetes. The endocrinologist told me to come back to see him when I will get the continuos glucose monitor but I still trying to get that involving my health insurance, but they called me and my copay is not possible to afford for me. That is so sad. Financial part is very sad too. For now it is hard to work, because of the swollen legs. Anybody knows any remedies that van help me with these legs?

@Jadie it's a wonderful place
I have always had insomnia and mild anxiety issues along with my schizzpaffective and bipolar and major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation, but I received temporary help for insomnia with ambien and then also later again temporarily with lunesta, the lunesta worked but the ambien was terrible experience. Neither was for long term and I still can't sleep hardly ever if at all... twice before I had major anxiety due to actual stressful situations in my life during those times and was majorly aided with ativan both times... I don't regularly need the anxiety medication, but my wife just passed away and I now find myself a single father of three of her children and the stress of it all is unbearable. I can't sleep or even work. I have a looming court date coming in may and I am on house arrest until the jury trial and this is all overwhelming me with a ton of anxiety and I know that I will only be able to sleep with the help of sedative medications for now, which includes either some form of benzodiazepine or else a sleep medication such as the lunesta from before again. Just for temporary to help me sleep and relax enough to pull myself together enough to get back going again and I don't know where or how to approach getting those medications and therapy while I am stuck on house arrest only allowed to leave for work and pretrial drug screenings. Please if anyone knows what I can do to help with this let me know. Thank you all for listening, if anyone did.

@PugsSlugsSnails if you don't have insurance and go to the doctor, they either kick you out, give you placebos, experiment on you, or outright kill you. The hospital in my town has been under investigation since the 50s for killing people. I guess they still don't have enough evidence yet or something. And don't worry about trying to sue the hospital around here, or they're taking you straight to JAIL. Best thing you can do round here is to keep your mouth shut and head up!

@AmberRae I get this. I discussed trying psilocybin for my depression after trying 10+ different SNRIs and SRIs. My psychiatrist indicated she was on board and began weaning me off of duloxetine and propranolol āin order to prepare for my new treatment.ā She kept me on lithium though. My next appointment was over zoom and when I mentioned wanting to get off lithium to be able to take psilocybin, she acted like I was nuts. Like we didnāt purge my meds specifically so I could try something different. She denied ever backing up my plan even though actions were taken regarding my pharmaceuticals. Was it only because it was on the phone that she did this? Who knows. I used to really trust her, now Iām not sure.
@AmberRae amen
