I’m so exhausted by my own body and the various ways it’s failing me on any given day. I just got home from going to the grocery store for the first time in months to pick up my adhd meds and it nearly killed me. I started to have severe stomach cramping and felt like I was going to have an accident on myself. Meanwhile I have a limp from a hip injury that I’ve been trying to get seen for since September. The two sources of pain almost compete for my attention and I hate being stated at. I have to concentrate so much to even walk right now. And because I’m only 28 everyone thinks I’m too young to have this much wrong with me or that I’m exaggerating. I’m just exhausted.

I’m so sorry. I totally feel you. It’s completely exhausting. It’s so frustrating that others have no idea the level of planning/strategy we have to deploy when we use our energy - just know there are a lot of us who know EXACTLY how crazy it is. You’re not alone. Hang in there ❤️

@Natti1076 I don’t grocery shop, I do pick up. I can’t do a big haul of groceries. Do you have Gastroparesis because I can’t walk for long or yes, it’s going out or up! I have been stuck in public bathrooms before for a hour! It’s rough. I can do small trips. I shop strictly at small stores where I can walk less. I had to give up my beloved HEB grocery in TX. Just couldn’t do it. Learn to ask for help! I’m sorry you have to deal with this at a young age. I was 42 when I was diagnosed. I’m 58 now & I limit myself to certain activities now.
It’s awful. I had a similar situation last week but with my Dysautonomia making it impossible to carry in the groceries because of my heart rate going insane. Big hugs 😥
