Dealing with Multiple Health Issues Alone

It feels like I'm alone with my issues. I have eustachian tube issues (probably stemming from the TMJD, which probably stems from my chronic anxiety). It's a weird feeling to go through and just not have any answers. Take your meds. Do the nasal rinse. Use nasal sprays. Nothing works! Ugh.

Especially after having a husband since high school and raising 6 kids.

Send me a text I'd like to start talking more to help you

Yes! Two autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis all at 23 years of age. :(

I live alone & have A LOT of health problems. The newest (pots) has left me unable to drive myself or do much of anything for myself. Not being able to drive & do things for myself has been extremely stressful and difficult for me especially because I have a very hard time admitting that I need help let alone actually asking for it.

While I have the financial support of my partner and he tries really hard to be emotionally supportive, he just doesn't get it. I don't want him to, I just wish I wasn't so isolated. I'm pissed because my best friend died in 2018, the anniversary of his death was this past Saturday, and I know he would've LOVED to be heart attack buddies with me 😭 on the one hand, I'd hate for anyone to be able to deeply understand my life and how I experience the world, but on the other hand, I just want someone to really get it

I feel like I am. I have many things going on right now and even tho I am married and have family that is supportive, I feel like they don't understand because they don't live with it. They don't go thru it. I also tend to hide a lot of what I'm going thru internally (doesn't help my anxiety AT ALL tho.) And there's times when my husband will make comments about things and I just feel sooooo shut down and put up a wall because he knows what I'm dealing with just doesn't give it a second thought because he's not going thru it. I get it. Hard to remember something when it's not slapping you in the face every 5 minutes. I even will forget sometimes (God I wish that were more often lol) but yes. I totally get the alone feeling. Almost constantly.

I am alone 80% of the day I deal with multiple chronic illnesses. It’s extremely lonely and difficult

I feel this. I don’t live alone but spend most days by myself. It can often feel defeating and hard. Finding community is key but can be hard too. Sending lots of love your way

I live alone and feel like it’s very hard to manage multiple health issues.
