What's Your Biggest Struggle?

i struggle with feeling good enough without being sick. it keeps me stuck in my eating disorder because i’m afraid people won’t care about me once i’m better, but i don’t actually want to be sick. it’s an endless cycle i wouldn’t wish on anyone

wanting to be alive and love myself knowing my pain will only get worse

Finding how to balance myself

The biggest struggle for me is my chronic pain, the times I'm not working, I'm more stiff and my bones pop more. When I do work, I start to have bad pain in my back and severe pain in my feet. After I get off, it's normal for me to immediately go to my room and not get up for hours because me feet hurt so bad. They become swollen and red, if I work 3 days or more in a row, my feet start to turn purple at the heels. My social life is usually determined by my pain from work, so days that i work I usually don't make plans until after I'm done with a shift to see how much pain I'm in. Most of the time I can't hang out on the days I work even though I usually don't work all day. I'm currently working with doctors to try and figure this stuff out to hopefully lessen it or get rid of it entirely.

Struggling to move on after 5 years and going

The hardest struggle for me is that my children don’t understand. There are things I use to do that I’m unable to do now. The way I feel I can’t explain to them so it just makes everything harder. I try to push myself to be the old mom I use to be but then I pay for it even more later.

My biggest struggle right now is leaving my house by myself to get to work. Im ok when my husband takes me or my kids but once i know i have to go alone my panic attacks start and i feel lost and so scared i feel like my blood turns to ice from my head to my toes. I hate it so much.

I’m trying to connect myself after a daydream and dealing with the addiction of daydreaming constantly 😭

Hardest struggle for me at the moment is trying to get all the approvals I need to have a surgery for my nerve damage which was a work related injury over a year ago and recently undergoing a diagnostic laparoscopy and being diagnosed with endometriosis. I feel like I can’t properly give one or the other the importance they need, so I feel like I’m just wasting away.

Being in pain or getting hurt at work and feeling hopeless because you won’t be able to have the job you want without suffering or just being able to do it. Like I need to pay bills, feed myself, provide for my cats and it feels like a struggle, like I won’t be able to function the way the rest of the world does or what they expect

finding friends and being comfortable in my own body

probably understanding that i am not alone. i feel like i can’t tell anyone how i feel, but that’s not true.

Right now it’s dissociation. I’m not sure if it’s increased in frequency or if I’m just more aware of it, but it’s genuinely very frustrating

Right now I would say I'm struggling to find a new balance with my friend of 16 years. She has just started a new relationship, it's the most serious one she has ever had, they've been together 6 months and she still hasn't found a balance between splitting the attention between us. I struggle with feeling like she cares more about him than me, I know that's not true but it's still hurtful.
