Does anyone find it hard to balance parenting with all of their medical conditions?? I am a single mommy of a 4 year old little boy. Interstitial cystitis can literally keep me in the bathroom for a third of my day (luckily my son will pop in and we have some of the best convos š¤£ I guess he misses me lol Iāve had my ocd in a decent range far as rituals (not mental thinking tho, thatās been horrible) but Iāve had a flair up that started in December after not finding the right medicine for my mental illnesses. Also was Flaired up by a medical scare my son had and now itās resolved two months later (thank God) So balancing that, anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms from staying in the bathroom all the time, Iām worn out I donāt always get help but sometimes I can I want to spend more time with my son having fun without having to go stay in the bathroom everytime I get up

On really bad depression days I turn the TV on and thank my 5 year old in my mind a thousand times over when he is good and sits quietly and watches YouTube toy uboxings for hours. Sometimes I even thank him out loud. And on really really bad days, I am blessed to have a husband and a 16 year old and a 13 year old that can all use the microwave to make my 5 year old warm meals. š

Donāt really have anything helpful to say except I totally understand what youāre going through. Sometimes Iāll put my son in the bathtub to play while Iām sick, but most of my symptoms just leave me bedridden, and he likes to play in my bed with me.
