What debilitating illnesses do you suffer from?

[DontGiveAshiit]

ADD, PTSD, BDD, PBD, TDP, IPDB, EDD, ALDLD, POLDD, VXHD, GDGD, DDD,

 

[Aurora]

Mentally: CPTSD thanks to a horrific childhood abused by both "parents", OCD, anxiety, hypersensitivity, clinical depression, misophonia, misokinesia, etc.

Physically: a fatal and incurable disease, thyroid issues, arthritis pain, eye floaters, visual snow, tinnitus, hot flushes and weight issues.

If I was an animal, I'd have been humanely euthanized by now.

 

[Meadow12]

I have heart failure which makes it hard to breath. I tell myself sick enough to walk the line but just wish I would die already.

I'm in a similar position with a disease which should have killed me years ago. I'm so tired of waiting to die and being unable to make any future plans.

 

[stygal]

An ischemic stroke left me with spastic muscles, weakened coordination and the likelihood of having seizures (if I wouldn't take meds) plus I have really low liver enzymes.
I also have OCD, maybe I am autistic/schizoid even schizophrenic (?), have an addictive personality, social anxiety, irrational fears and anorexia/body dysmorphia.
The usual. (:

 

[Weary Soul]

Life.

 

[rabbithole]

Arachnoiditis, spinal cord injury

 

[muffin222]

PTSD and PMDD are the most debilitating and agonizing for me, but I suffer from a few others as well

Do you think your misophonia/kinesia contributed to the depression and the need to CTB? I have it too, it's hard to see a life that doesn't involve isolating from everyone to avoid triggers. Used to wish I was deaf, but I've settled for death instead
Wish we could be euthanised :(

 

[Zenpurrz]

I have chronic severe pain due to back issues (DDD, failed back surgery syndrome etc.) and migraines...

Do pain meds help alleviate your pain?

 

[Toybox]

Anorexia is by far my most debilitating problem. It drags tons of complications along with itself, the suffering never ends

I have a plethora of other things but nothing has taken a toll on me like anorexia

 

[Buffy5120]

C-ptsd, depression, anxiety, hyperacusis, tinnitus, hashimotos hypothyroidism, edema in legs (currently in a wheelchair), gastritis, gastroparesis, LPR, visual snow, double vision, ibs-c, no gallbladder, photophobia, seeing floaters, insomnia, memory and cognition loss, pcos, herniated discs, all of these are in the severe range and i provably have more but due to my fucked up memory thats all i can remember all at 24 isnt life great

 

[rvsw]

Pudendal neuralgia

 

[Zenpurrz]

Responding to Pookie- Yes, mediations help some, but I fear with the government's crackdown on chronic pain patients I won't be able to get them much longer, and that is one of the many reasons I am in this group. I am so tired of being in pain all the damn time...

 

[Nyxtus]

I have C-PTSD from a childhood of abuse, damaged organs from medication I took as a child, and an extremely high level of anxiety and stress and naturally depression. My teeth are also cracked and generally fucked due to poverty as a child and no means to take care of them. As it turns out dental care is expensive.

 

[Desdemona]

Acoustic shock disorder which has left me with severe tinnitus, middle ear myoclonus or TTTS - spasms in my ears basically, an extremely low tolerance to sound (I can hardly leave the house because sound causes ear pain and makes my head full of pressure) migraines, visual snow, trigeminal neuralgia, and occipital nerve pain.
Chronic migraines, allodynia, stomach issues and pudendal neuralgia. Plus pre-existing anxiety and depression which has worsened with all my illnesses and left me with CPTSD.

Thanks in the United States to the overwhelming passage (59%) of Oregon's Ballot Measure 110 which just decriminalized the personal possession of all drugs, voters are cracking down on the government's crackdown on chronic pain patients, following Portugal's lead. Ballot initiatives are stripping would-be dictatorial government authorities of their power to be punitive against drug possessors.

Recreational marihuana is being approved everywhere it's put to a vote. California's already looking to surpass Oregon's newly passed initiative.

 

[succor]

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Dysautonomia, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, GERD, GI motility disorders, Asymmetric Psoriatic Arthritis, Autoimmune Hepatitis, Asthma, muscle spasms, chronic migraines, nerve damage all over, herniated and bulging discs, manic depression, OCD, hypothyroidism. Those are the ones I have an official diagnosis for. There are still issues we haven't figured out yet (skin rashes, lung damage that hasn't been investigated yet, etc). I also am transgender, so add gender dysphoria to the list. I'm not even 30 yet. I feel very beaten down.

 

[usernameforhere]

MS... I remember how brave I was when I was diagnosed over decade ago... I felt weird all week, went home on Friday to take a nap before goin got dinner with friends, woke up, put my foot on the floor and collapsed....

It took me a week but I got up again... had good years after that. Now my balance sucks, my eye sight is going and the ms related fatigue and depression and cognative impairments are getting to be too much
