About to see the on call POTS specialist... might be a diagnosis.

[chronicvmn]

Home from the hospital, diagnosed with POTS, got medication. Apple Watch genuinely saved me so much heartache - literally.

Hey shoutout to

People with “minor” disabilities who aren’t sure if they belong in disabled spaces

People who have rare disabilities and don’t see other people with the same disability, even in disabled spaces

People who’ve been told nothing is wrong with them even though is something clearly wrong that now feel like they’re just making stuff up

People who have been dismissed by doctors because they didn’t fit the image the doctor had of what a “sick” person looked like

People who tried to get help for their problem and are still waiting

People who have unaddressed health problems in general

Y’all are great and deserve the world!

[beamingsuggestion]

times like these can be exhausting – you don’t have to act like you’re constantly okay

[disabledprincesses]

Half my time as a sick person is trying to convince people that I am sick

And the other half is trying to convince people that I'm not that sick

I am not coping great right now.. my pain is acting up, my heart rate has been spiking to 150+ all day and I'm also on my period, yet despite that I decided to be productive and do the garden for my mother (she worked a 12hr shift in care today).

I feel like absolute shit, I'm hurting and I feel like I'm just constantly complaining to everyone I speak to (even though I haven't actually said anything). Its the only thing on my mind because it hurts, so yeah I'm not gonna have much conversation. And now my boyfriend is on Houseparty with 4 of my friends and I'm just.. not in the right space to go on and socialise but I feel guilty and bad at the same time.

Can this just end already?

[chronicvmn]

Got guilted into going on Houseparty and then questioned about why I was so quiet... seriously? My friends weren't trying to be assholes but still.

In a weird place between wanting quarantine to end because my mental health is absolutely spiraling, and hoping quarantine continues because I can’t imagine going back into functioning society again.

Got my Apple Watch, heart rate has sat between 80bpm and 170bpm all day while doing the same type of activity that I've done all my life with no issues - moved out of accommodation and had to carry a few heavy things. Me and my mother are (or I used to be) naturally strong, do-it-ourselves type of people.. lifting heavy boxes, suitcases, going up ladders, long walks etc with no issues. My mother is the same (beside a bad knee) and carried my suitcases up for me, yet I'm having to sit down after walking up the stairs empty handed. Sigh...

At least I have a record of it now; not that it matters since my mother and grandmother have both scolded me for tracking my heartrate, and my mother full on said it could just be anxiety...
