Limited Food
CW: COVID-19, medical issues, mild mention of blood
What has probably been hardest on me in the last.. however long this has been, has been my dietary restrictions and not being able to abide by them. My main Dr. hasn't been able to pinpoint why I’m in so my pain in my abdomen, or why I sometimes pass blood. I have a gastroenterology appointment in June, but who knows if that will still happen. In the mean time, I’m avoiding anything that makes it worse.This includes, but is not limited to: meat, lactose, sugars, salts, and oils/grease. Being low income, no access to regularly available food banks, and limited cold storage, major depression after a family members death, and major body pain flares, I’ve mostly been living off school snack type food like granola bars. Which have not been kind to my system. I supplement with meal replacement when soy milk is available. I feel awful. I really wish more help options were easily accessible
So I'm in school and it's hectic because the end of year is coming up. However, I can't function do to physical health problems and the constantly changing schedule. It just doesn't work for me cause I get anxiety due to the lack of structure. Taking breaks is amazing and healthy but I don't got time. So I'm kinda going to be all over the place for a bit.

Today was a bad POTS day... fatigue won.
I woke up around 3 or 4 am and was awake until maybe 6:30/7 am.
Completely crashed until noon, where I did some necessary tasks and had passed out again by 3pm.
Just woke up and it's 9pm..

I have sensitive skin that is permanently bumpy and has reddish patches on my shoulders,
Showers level me feeling worse, itchy and red, we don't have any filter, help
My Issues...
This goes out to all the people with "issues" physical, mental, and emotional...all of it.
I have been diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I also have an intense fear of driving and I worry about EVERYTHING! Had a mental breakdown in the middle of Chemistry in High School. I was almost expelled for my subsequent "episodes." I do my best to work through these issues on a daily basis. Sometimes I kick ass and take names with them, but other times I just want to curl up into a ball and drown out the world. It sucks, but you deal with the cards you're dealt.
Physically, I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure last year. Before I was told this, I was trying to live with over 100 lbs. of fluid. I could barely walk or do basic chores. I couldn't even bathe myself. I had to have my mom help me. I could hardly breathe without wheezing because of the fluid in my chest. I couldn't even sleep in a bed because it aggravated my breathing, having to sleep in a recliner so I could breathe at night.
Some of you who see my obsessive posts may think I am just some sorry-ass moron that lives in their parent's basement because I'm lazy or a good-for-nothing, hopeless piece of shit (trust me these thoughts cross my mind daily.) However, my fandoms and ships and being able to talk about them on here without feeling weird keeps me grounded and sane. I NEED to share what I share because I want to make friends here and be able to talk about my interests.
I am saying this to lay my heart open. I also want to reach out to people who also have "issues" and "problems" that may have been put down for things they have said or done on here that caused people to ridicule them.
To those who ridicule people like me or those like me, please note: You don't know what someone goes through or has gone through on a daily basis. Your words can hurt more than you could know or even intend. Just be careful out there, okay?
Sorry for the rant!
