So, I thought that since I saw a few people talking about their own illnesses as well as diseases...We should make a thread where we talk about our experiences with them, and or what helps us feel better when we are feeling like crap.
Currently, I have been diagnosed with five things:
Depression[Bi-Polar Depression]
>I've had problems with my depression since I was in 5th grade, and I still have extremely bad stages in time where I am utterly depressed and hopeless, I feel like crawling into bed and sleeping for days. And when I get into my manic state, I stay up for days on end, running around, doing all these things that I never would usually do, and acting extremely hyper.
Normally what helps me feel better is being around people, sleeping and taking long hot baths. Being regularly medicated also helps a lot, since before I was on my medication I cut my self a ton.
One of the most remembered experiences of mine was a manic state where I stayed up for 3 days, writing out random things that came into my mind, as well as playing video games like crazy. I had the worst crash ever that time, slept for 2 days straight. XD
Minor Social Anxiety
>This started in around 9th grade, I felt like the world was closing in on me and when people in large places filled with a lot of others talked to me, I felt so scared and nervous. It normally starts when the noise level is loud and then I start to notice people are looking at me and then looking away. So then I start to breathe heavily and sweat, and I need to get out of the area as fast as possibly. My legs don't stop shaking until I'm almost alone.
Normally what helps is being with people I know, because if I am not with anyone I know in a large crowd, I'll freak the hell out.
I think the most remembered thing was I was at a street fair, and oh lord it was packed, so I remember running the fuck away, and I couldn't get away from all the people. I camped out in a bathroom in a store and basically vomited up everything because I was so scared. >////<
PMDD
>Ever since I started my dreaded period, I've had it bad. Like, I'll put in a super super plus tampon, 15 minutes later, it's soaked through. This leads to a lot of things, one being I faint rather easily, two, I am utterly a bitch on my period, and my moods are just horrid, and three, EXTREME anemia as in, my hemoglobin goes down around 2 points on my period. I do take pills however to ease the bleeding as well as regulate my periods. Many of you know this as birth control, although, I'm not going around having sex. XD
My most memorable experience with this shit, was most likely when I was on the floor, vomiting up everything, as well as screaming bloody murder because my cramps felt like someone was stabbing me. All while I had to take a shit extremely bad. By the time I shit, the water looked like someone bled out in there. Shitty bloody poop water, not a good thing.
Things that help, HEAT. WARM FUCKING WATER. HEATING PADS.
Severe Anemia
> Since I started my period, shit got bad with my iron. They recently did an iron study on me, and well, I was so low, they said I need to take about triple the regular amount of iron everyday for 2 months. My hemoglobin was like...9 or 7, I can't remember, but they were like: LOL NO.
Worst thing, probably was when I fainted in the middle of the hallway at school. I remember waking up and the science teachers were spazzing out saying that I didn't have a pulse. I say up and was like: I'm fine, just kinda dizzy.
Taking Iron really has helped a lot, all women should take it, and also take B-12 and D-3. c:
Hashimoto's Thyroiditus
>I learned I had this around the middle of 9th grade, when I was so tired, I couldn't get up anymore, my fevers were spiking 101.0 degrees Fahrenheit daily...So they did a few tests and wouldn't you know it, my thyroid levels were really really off. Turns out, my levels had been out of wack basically all my life, which explained a lot. I was also one of the youngest my doctor saw with this, which made me feel sad.
What helps? taking the thyroid replacement pills as well as getting my thyroid levels checked every 2 months.
I think the most memorable thing was when I was asleep and I felt so hot, and then all of a sudden cold and I was like: wtf. XD
Anyways, what do you guys have to deal with?
Love you all! <3!
