Young Woman Struggling with Health Issues

Same. I've had new Dr's surprised by how many meds I take. It's sucks knowing it's necessary but it really is. Just remember that they do help and that's what's important.

I can empathize with you! I’m in my early twenties averaging about 20 pills a day just to function and it’s tough. Like really tough. It helps a lot having a therapist who specializes in chronic illness, but also understanding you’re human and that these feelings are normal. You can grieve your body, that’s a completely normal thing to do.

I've had a pill box since I was 15 so I understand the frustration.

Wish I was in my 20's. I'm thirty. Makes me nervous for when I get old. I was in my mid 20's when it got more extreme.

I just wanna say probably the things that you might think are your fault are probably not theres a lot of ableist and medical gaslighting in our society.

I'm a little older, 38, but that's too young also. I guess it's nothing to be ashamed of even though it feels that way. Ugh! Sending love.

You guys are not alone. Need a pill box myself and I never thought it would come to this point. Feels good to not be alone
