I’m really trying to cope and i’m trying to look for support or someone to talk to who understands. i’ve recently been diagnosed with cyclothymia- also known as bipolar 3. this consists of increasingly more intense highs and lows lasting between 1-4 days. i don’t have many friends and the ones i have aren’t very understanding. i also have ehlers danlos syndrome so that include chronic pain and dislocations. along side anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, body dysmorphia, functional tic disorders and asperger’s.

Exhausted and burntout. Chronic pain & fatigue (ME/CFS & Fibro) for 30 years, suspected AuDHD spd & pda. Parent of teen with this diagnosis too. So many things to keep on top of as well as advocating for disability and health adjustments. So same but different. Happy to compare notes so you dont feel alone.
