Finding Support for Chronic Conditions as a Parent

I'm so excited to try this app and find people like me. I feel so alone sometimes with all my chronic conditions. Are any of you parents? How do you balance playing with your kids and not wearing yourselves out? Some of my diagnoses are very recent and I feel like I'm drowning. I hope to hear back from some of you😁

I’m a parent but my kids are grown. I still have to tend to my daughter’s needs at 17 but she is pretty independent.

Hi!! It’s nice to meet you!! I’m not a parent but I have one of your symptoms, IBS and I understand how much it can affect your life and mental state. It takes time to learn how to deal with your symptoms and find products that help you manage. Especially when you get diagnosed for the first time, it can feel like you’ve lost control. I wish you the best!!
