I’m type one diabetic and it’s just so exhausting I’ve developed a binge eating disorder and major depression and anxiety 😍

Not depressed, but I am sick and tired of having my chronic illnesses being seen as an afterthought.

17

It makes me depressed because I’m scared I’ll never find someone that loves me because of my problems :(

15

Meee. I have chronic anemia and I feel like I’m in hell every day.

13

Yes they go hand and hand basically

12

Oh 100%! If I didn’t have hEDS and a crap hip (Labrum injury), I’d have so much more energy and could do so much more. I used to love horseback riding, running, and anything to do with climbing but now I can’t walk very well on some days.

12

Yes it’s affected my confidence a lot l

Yeah. It is 100% the reason I’m severely depressed. It’s affected me to the point I barely have a life anymore

Yep. Why can’t my body just cooperate?

6

Yes. Both because it’s depressing to be so sick all the time and also because it attacks my head, gut, hormone-producing organs, and all other bodily systems that influence your mood

just found out that my iron medication could be making me depressed

it’s not the reason for my depression but it absolutely is for my dad. he was a very active person before he became disabled. not being able to work, do some simple things, and being in severe pain all the time has left him severely depressed

a couple weeks ago the doctor told me “the normal amount” of crying yourself to sleep in physical and emotional pain is zero, and i’m still not over it

I hate not being able to go and do things. I hate being left out. I love my job but flares and surgeries make me have to call out and stay in bed and it gets so lonely and boring. I’ve been stuck in bed for a week and a half and having meltdowns everyday. Yesterday I pushed myself past my limits bc I went into a psychosis about it which set back my healing process so now I have to bed rest for even longer and I’m not vibing at all

Especially when being hospitalized. It can be so dihabilitating
